Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🐾

As you prepare for Thanksgiving dinner, it's important to remember foods that are toxic to dogs, including:
- Chocolate: contains a chemical called theobromine, poisonous to animals
- Thanksgiving pies and treats: While pumpkin by itself may be okay, spices and sweets in these seasonal pies can be harmful!
- Spices such as nutmeg, oregano, paprika, and others commonly used in Thanksgiving dinners can be irritating and cause gastrointestinal distress
- Garlic, which can damage canines' red blood cells
- Onion, containing disulfides
- Grapes and raisins
- Gravy, since it often contains high amounts of sodium and fat
- Nuts, like macadamia, walnuts, peanuts, and other salted nuts
- Turkey bones, which can splinter and pose a choking hazard
- Alcoholic beverages
