Giving Thanks For
Little Ones
When celebrating Thanksgiving this year, be sure to include your furry best friend in the festivities. After all, aren't you thankful for their loving loyal companionship, not to mention their absolutely adorable one-of-a-kind personality?
When preparing the table for your holiday dinner, put out a place setting for your pooch. Even if the setting will be placed on the floor when dinner begins, guests (and your dog!) will be charmed when they see a cute doggie placemat, an extra-fancy bowl, and special treats right alongside the "human" place settings.
Once the meal is served, offer your dog their usual food, but this time give them a little bit less so they can share a bite of Thanksgiving dinner. A small cut-up piece of turkey breast is fine, however do not offer bones of any kind, (they can splinter and cause internal upset). Plain mashed-up sweet potato or other vegetables are a great option too. Make certain if they're saturated in butter or sauce you rinse them off prior to mashing. For a safe Thanksgiving, please avoid feeding your little one grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, onions, desserts, and dairy products.
May you, your canine cutie, and all your loved ones have a happy, delicious Thanksgiving!
