๐ฆ Happy Thanksgiving ๐พ
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, itโs important to remember our furry friends. While itโs tempting to share the feast with our pets, some Thanksgiving foods can be harmful to dogs. Hereโs a quick guide to keep your pets safe this holiday:
**๐ซ Foods to Avoid:**
1. **Turkey Bones:** They can splinter and cause choking or intestinal blockages.
2. **Onions & Garlic:** These can damage a dogโs red blood cells and lead to anemia.
3. **Stuffing:** Often contains ingredients like onions and spices that are harmful to dogs.
4. **Cranberry Sauce:** High in sugar and can upset your dogโs stomach.
5. **Chocolate and Desserts:** Always a no-go! Chocolate is toxic to dogs.
**๐ Safe Foods in Moderation:**
1. **Plain Turkey:** A small piece of cooked turkey (without skin or bones) is a great treat!
2. **Sweet Potatoes:** Cooked and unseasoned, theyโre a healthy and delicious option.
3. **Pumpkin:** Plain canned pumpkin (not the spiced pie filling) is great for digestion.
4. **Green Beans:** Fresh or steamed, they can be a crunchy snack your dog may love.
This Thanksgiving, letโs be thankful for our furry companions and keep them safe. If you need someone to care for your pets while you enjoy the holiday, remember that Jenโs Happy Pets is here for you!
