Happy Thanksgiving from The PupperZone
Thanksgiving isn’t just for humans — at The PupperZone, our pups get to join the feast too (in a dog-safe way 🐶🦃)
Some of our fur-family may be politely nibbling turkey, others sneaking veggies — and yes, maybe a little harmless “arguing over the mashed potatoes.” 😉
Here’s the golden rule: if it’s human food, check ingredients first. Nothing seasoned, fatty, spicy — only plain and dog-friendly.
Swipe through for a quick “OK / No-No” list to keep your pup’s tail wagging (not their tummy!) this holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The PupperZone! 🐾🍂
✅ Dog-Safe Thanksgiving Foods (in moderation & plain/unseasoned)
✅ Plain cooked turkey meat (no skin, no bones, no seasoning)
✅ Sweet potatoes (plain, cooked, unseasoned)
✅ White or regular potatoes (boiled or baked, plain)
✅ Green beans (plain — no butter, salt, or seasoning)
✅ Peas (plain)
✅ Apples (slice, core & seeds removed)
✅ Plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie — just plain, unsweetened pumpkin)
🐾 Tip: If you give these to your dog, do so after dinner is over, in their bowl — not from the table.
❌ Thanksgiving Foods to Avoid Giving Dogs
❌ Turkey skin or bones — bones can splinter and cause choking or internal damage; skin is too fatty and can trigger pancreatitis.
❌ Stuffing or dressing — often contains onions, garlic, seasonings that are toxic or harmful to dogs.
❌ Gravy, sauces, rich or fatty food — high fat, salt, or fat-laden sauces can cause digestive distress or pancreatitis.
❌ Mashed potatoes with butter, cream, garlic, or onion powder — fine if plain potato — but typical mashed potato recipes are risky.
❌ Grapes or raisins (or dishes containing them) — even small amounts can cause kidney failure.
❌ Nuts (e.g. macadamia nuts or oother fatty nuts), candy, desserts with chocolate, xylitol or other sweeteners, sugary or fatty pies/desserts — these are dangerous.
❌ Raw bread dough or uncooked batter — yeast dough can expand in the stomach, cause bloating or even alcohol poisoning as it ferments
