Did you know your pet can safely enjoy small portions of plain turkey, green beans, or sweet potatoes this Thanksgiving? 🍗🥔 Just avoid seasoning, butter, and anything sweetened with xylitol.
Introduce new foods gradually to avoid upset stomachs, and remember: moderation is key! Overfeeding— even with pet-safe treats —can lead to obesity. Food isn’t love; it’s simply fuel!
Show your pet you care with healthy portions and plenty of praise. Head to kingscreatures.com/post/holiday-treats to learn more about safe holiday treats!

Training Tip Tuesday: Relaxation Drills for Halloween Success
In this week's Training Tip Tuesday, we're focusing on how Relaxation Drills—like The Calm Down and Sitting on the Leash—can help set your pet up for success during Halloween and other high-excitement events. 🐶🎉
We'll cover the Calm Down and the Sitting on the Leash drills.
Both drills change your pet's mindset, making it easier for them to handle overwhelming situations. However, Halloween night might be too chaotic for starting these drills. It's essential to build up success in lower-distraction environments first, so your pet doesn't become overwhelmed.
If you’re working on prepping your pet for the big night, these relaxation drills are a great place to start! Stay tuned for more tips next week.
