Thanksgiving Safety Tips For Pet Owners.

If you wish to feed Harry the Dog or Miss Priss the Cat turkey, keep these things in mind. Fully cooked turkey no bones, and no skin or fat. Just a few tidbits mixed into their dry or wet food is suffice. If you like stuffing with your turkey, great. Harry and Miss Priss don't. Most stuffing contains a herb called sage. This can cause gastrointestinal upset and also central nervous system depression to pets, if eaten in large quantities. So best bet, don't serve stuffing to your furry babies. Better safe than sorry. Keep in mind a lot of Vets are also are taking the day off and if you have a pet emergency an Animal hospital is going to cost double. Keep them from raw eggs as well. Some tips for dog owners. Yes to turkey. No to onions, garlic, leeks, and scallions. Yes to plain mashed potatoes. No to grapes or raisins. These can cause kidney failure in dogs. Yes to cranberry sauce. No to Xylitol, artificial sweetners. Yes to macaroni and cheese. No to chocolate. Yes to green beans. No to alcohol. So as we all know everyone over eats on Thanksgiving, well most people sometimes myself included. But that doesn't give us free license to over feed our furry babies. They can suffer from stomach distress as well as we can, but in their case it can make them more miserable than humans. So even though you want to fix Harry or Miss Priss a plate do it in moderation. They will thank you and you will feel better knowing that you didn't over do the sharing of the Thanksgiving meal. Happy Cat.
