What Every Pet Parent Should Know about Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving is all about spending time with loved ones—human and animal alike. So it makes sense that we're tempted to fix Fido a plate of all the scrumptious holiday food we're eating, right? But wait! Put down the serving spoon. Are you sure that's safe for your pet? Here's what you need to know.
Ten Thanksgiving dangers. Some foods are totally off-limits to our furry pals (and there's a full list of them at ASPCA.org). Ten of them are especially common around the holidays. Just say no to:
| • | sage |
|
| • | chocolate |
| • | candy with xylitol |
| • | bread dough |
| • | batter with raw eggs |
| • | onions and garlic |
| • | macadamia nuts |
| • | raisins and grapes |
| • | rich or spicy foods |
| • | alcohol |
Let's talk turkey. Good news for Fido! ASPCA experts say a little bite of plain turkey is usually safe for pets. If you decide to share, remember: Only boneless, well-cooked turkey is OK. Giving your pet undercooked or bone-in turkey, fat or gristle, or cooked bones for chewing is not OK.
Don't overdo it. Lots of us overindulge at the Thanksgiving table, but when our pets do, it can be a real problem. It's best to keep pets on their normal diets during the holidays, but if you do decide to share your holiday spread, make it just a taste. Eating too much can give your dog diarrhea, upset stomach, or even pancreatitis.
Play it safe. If your dog or cat consumes any potentially harmful foods or products, please consult your veterinarian, or the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or www.aspca.org/apcc.

Have a happy—and safe—Thanksgiving! |
