🐾🍁 Thanksgiving Foods Your Dog Can Enjoy — Safely! 🍁🐾
Thanksgiving is full of smells, snacks, and tempting treats—and your pup definitely notices! While some holiday foods are safe to share, others can cause serious harm. Here’s a quick guide to keep your dog happy and healthy at the dinner table:
✅ Dog-Safe Thanksgiving Foods (in small amounts!)
• Turkey (plain, cooked, no skin or bones)
A little white meat is perfectly fine—just keep it unseasoned.
• Sweet potatoes (plain, cooked)
Rich in fiber and vitamins. Skip the marshmallows, sugar, and spices.
• Pumpkin (plain, cooked or canned)
A great digestive aid! Avoid pumpkin pie filling.
• Green beans (plain, cooked or raw)
Low-cal, crunchy, and delicious.
• Carrots (plain, cooked or raw)
A dog favorite—healthy and safe.
• Apples (seedless)
Remove seeds and core; share in small slices.
❌ Foods to Avoid
• Turkey skin, bones, gravy – Greasy, salty, and dangerous for digestion.
• Stuffing and casseroles – Onions, garlic, and spices can be toxic.
• Mashed potatoes – Butter, cream, and seasonings make them unsafe.
• Pie or dessert – Sugar, chocolate, spices, and xylitol are harmful.
• Alcohol and anything seasoned or fatty – Just no!
✨ Tip: If you want your pup to join the feast, make them a small “dog plate” with simple, unseasoned ingredients.
Wishing you and your furry family a safe and happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🐶💛
