Don't Feed Your Dog Turkey! Make One of These Pet Safe Thanksgiving Treats Instead
Thanksgiving is approaching, your shopping list is growing — and so is your pet’s chance of eating something dangerous.
It’s tempting to share some of your November feast with your dog, but many of the foods on the Thanksgiving table can cause serious health problems for your pet. A fully-dressed turkey is often too rich for a pet to consume, and can lead to gastrointestinal woes — and the bones are a serious choking/obstruction hazard. Onions and garlic, common additions to many Thanksgiving dishes, are toxic to canines as well.
Instead of taking a risk with the food on the table, the safest way to treat your pup on Thanksgiving is to make them their own special dish.
To protect pets and let them in on the fun, Best Friend Animal Society has shared three festive recipes that are just for dogs made using Wellness CORE Bestie Bars, chicken and carrots recipe.
