what that means.\u00a0 Bring on the feast!\u00a0 This holiday is known for the extravagant meals we make to celebrate our thankfulness for those around us \u2013 family, friends, and even our pets.\u00a0 How many of us love to include our pets in everything we do, especially our holiday events?\u00a0 Well, one important thing to remember at the Holidays is that while we can include our dogs in the festivities, it is essential to keep them safe, most importantly when it comes to dinner time.\u00a0 Here are a few foods to keep away from your pets and some healthier options to keep everyone, dogs included, happy and full.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Foods to Avoid<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many of the foods that may be on your Thanksgiving menu are harmful to dogs.\u00a0 They can cause discomfort, allergic reactions and even trips to the vet. \u00a0\u00a0Just a few of the staples that you may enjoy, but need to keep out of your dog are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cranberry Sauce \u2013 The added sugar in this favorite is a no-no along with nuts, fruits, and other additions.<\/li>\n<li>Gravy \u2013 Dogs do not need the added fat in this topping, much less the high sodium content.<\/li>\n<li>Turkey Bones &#8211; These can break apart and cause tears in your dog\u2019s mouth or intestine and even get lodged in their throat.<\/li>\n<li>Green Bean Casserole \u2013 While green beans themselves are fine, the cream, mushrooms, and onions that go into this dish are not dog-friendly.<\/li>\n<li>Pies \u2013 Any sweets that contain large amounts of sugar, butter and creams should not be given, particularly those with chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also keep in mind that if your dog isn\u2019t used to human food, even those foods that may be safe can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petcarerx.com\/article\/safely-share-a-thanksgiving-meal-with-your-pets\/1388\">indigestion<\/a> and unfamiliar reactions, so try to stick to what your dog knows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-502 size-full alignnone\"

lurking around the kitchen in lieu of the foods on the \u201cto-avoid\u201d list.\u00a0 While turkey is safe for dogs, the added spices and fat from gravies and sauces should be withheld.\u00a0 You may be tempted to offer a turkey bone, as stated above; they can break easily, so save those bones for a nice after-Thanksgiving soup for yourself.\u00a0 Vegetables and even mashed potatoes are more foods that you can share.\u00a0 When served plain they are easy to digest and a delicious alternative from their typical dog food.\u00a0 Pumpkin is also safe for dogs, so when it is time for dessert they can have their fair share of a version of pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-504 size-full alignnone\"

id=\"Dog-Specific_Treats\"><\/span>Dog-Specific Treats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another way to keep your pooch happy is to make or buy prepared Thanksgiving-themed treats specifically for canines.\u00a0 You can keep him occupied with his own special dinner so you can enjoy your own.\u00a0 You can even provide your dog walker with a few to give on scheduled walks as treats for behaving or just to ensure that your dog doesn\u2019t miss out on celebrating with special foods as well.\u00a0 Instead of the usual dog biscuits that you use to tell your pup they did a good job, try this <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/222671\/super-simple-sweet-potato-dog-treats\/\">recipe<\/a> for these yummy sweet potato dog treats.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, remember that while preparing your Thanksgiving feast and enjoying your dinner, you may not be able to fit in those long walks your dog needs.\u00a0 Be sure to snag a reservation with your <a href=\"http:\/\/lovelyn.us\/\">dog walking service<\/a> to see that your pet enjoys a much-needed stroll while also keeping him or her away from the pie crumbs and green bean casserole bits falling on the floor while you cook, have dinner and dessert.\u00a0 Those yummy dog treats will definitely make up for your dog missing out on table scraps!\u00a0 To find out more about what type Thanksgiving
