🦃 Thanksgiving Tips for Your Furkids: What You Can and Can’t Feed Them
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and feasting, but it’s important to remember that not all human foods are safe for our furry friends. Here are some tips to keep your pets healthy and happy during the holiday:
What You Can Feed Your Furkids:
- Turkey (Plain, Cooked): Small amounts of plain, cooked turkey meat are usually safe for pets. Make sure it’s boneless and skinless.
- Vegetables: Carrots, green beans, and sweet potatoes (without added butter or seasoning) can be healthy treats.
- Pumpkin: Plain, canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) is good for digestion.
What You Can’t Feed Your Furkids:
- Turkey Bones: Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious injuries or blockages.
- Stuffing and Gravy: These often contain onions, garlic, and spices that are toxic to pets.
- Chocolate and Desserts: Chocolate, xylitol (a sweetener), and other ingredients in desserts are harmful to pets.
- Alcohol: Even small amounts of alcohol can be dangerous.
- Grapes and Raisins: These can cause kidney failure in dogs.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your furkids stay safe and healthy while you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
