Thanksgiving is a time for gathering, gratitude, and, of course, delicious food. While we enjoy the flavors of the season, it’s natural to want to include our furry family members in the festivities. Here are some safe and festive ways to let your dog join in the Thanksgiving feast—without compromising their health!
Safe Thanksgiving Treats for Dogs
- Turkey (Plain & Cooked)
A small amount of plain, cooked turkey (without skin, seasoning, or bones) is a great source of protein for your pup. Avoid gravy and fatty pieces, which can upset their stomach. - Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a healthy, festive treat for dogs when served plain. Skip the butter, marshmallows, and spices to keep it dog-friendly. - Green Beans
Fresh or cooked green beans (without seasoning or casseroles) are a nutritious, low-calorie snack packed with vitamins and fiber. - Pumpkin Puree
Pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) is a wonderful addition to your dog’s Thanksgiving meal. It’s loaded with fiber and nutrients that support digestion and overall health. - Apples
Offer a few slices of apple (with the seeds and core removed) for a crunchy, naturally sweet treat.
Thanksgiving Foods to Avoid
Thanksgiving Foods to Avoid- Stuffing and Casseroles
These dishes often contain ingredients like onions, garlic, raisins, and spices, all of which can be harmful to dogs. - Turkey Bones
Cooked turkey bones can splinter and cause serious injuries or blockages. Stick to boneless pieces only. - Desserts
Pies, chocolates, and other sweets contain ingredients like sugar, chocolate, and nutmeg, which can be toxic to dogs. - Gravy and Fatty Foods
While tempting, these are too rich for your dog and can lead to digestive issues or pancreatitis. - Alcohol
Even small amounts of alcohol are dangerous for dogs, so keep those Thanksgiving cocktails out of paw’s reach.
