🍁🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from Halcyon Canine LLC! 🦃🍁
As we enjoy our feasts, let’s remember that our dogs can’t safely enjoy everything on our plates. Some foods are toxic, and even “safe” foods in excess can lead to serious issues like pancreatitis.
👉 Generally Safe (in moderation):
🦃 Plain turkey with no seasoning, skin, or bones
🎃 Plain canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
🥕 Carrots (raw or cooked, sans the seasonings)
🫐🍓 Berries (in moderation)
🚫 Toxic or Unsafe Foods for Dogs:
❌ Chocolate
❌ Grapes & raisins
❌ Onions, garlic, leeks, chives
❌ Artificial sweeteners (especially Xylitol)
❌ Alcohol
❌ Caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks)
❌ Macadamia nuts
❌ Raw bread dough or yeast dough
❌ Fatty or heavily seasoned foods (butter, skin, gravy)
❌ Cooked bones (can splinter and cause internal injury)
Even foods that aren’t technically “toxic” can still upset their system. Dogs don’t process fats like we do, and holiday leftovers that seem harmless can trigger painful pancreatitis episodes.
🐾 Enjoy the holiday with your family and pets — just remember they can’t eat everything we eat.
If you’re unsure whether something is safe, the safest answer is: DON'T RISK IT
Have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! 🧡
