🦃🐾 Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Your Dog 🐾🦃
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and (of course) delicious food! But amidst the festivities, it’s important to keep your furry friend safe. 🐕 Here are some tips to ensure a happy and healthy Thanksgiving for your pup:
🍗 No Turkey Bones or Fatty Scraps
Turkey bones can splinter and cause serious harm, while fatty foods can upset your dog's stomach—or worse, cause pancreatitis.
🍫 Keep Desserts Out of Paw’s Reach
Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), and raisins are toxic to dogs. Let them enjoy a dog-safe treat instead!
🍽️ Secure the Trash
Leftovers and discarded items can be irresistible to curious pups but may contain harmful or dangerous items like aluminum foil, bones, or food wrappers.
👨👩👧👦 Provide a Quiet Space
Holiday gatherings can be overwhelming. Create a calm, cozy spot where your dog can relax if the hustle and bustle become too much.
🚪 Watch the Door
With guests coming and going, it’s easy for your dog to slip out unnoticed. Make sure they’re wearing updated ID tags and consider crating them or using baby gates for safety.
🐶 Share Love, Not Food
Show your dog love with extra playtime, snuggles, or a special dog-safe Thanksgiving treat instead of table scraps.
Have a paws-itively wonderful Thanksgiving! 🐾
