Thanksgiving Pet Safety
Thanksgiving is just around the corner so it's time to start reminding people of some safety tips to keep in mind for you dogs this holiday season!
If you decide to share some turkey, make sure it’s boneless and well-cooked. Don't offer raw or undercooked turkey, which may contain the salmonella bacteria. The left over carcass–the bones can be problematic for the digestive tract as well so make sure to keep out of your pet's reach.
Make sure you remind yourself (and your kiddos!) what your pets can and can't have off your Thanksgiving plate.
YES: carrots, corn (no cob), sweet potatoes, green beans, celery, small amount of cheese, turkey (no skin, fat, or bones)
NO: ham, chocolate, garlic, onions, raisins/grapes, mashes potatoes, stuffing, raw dough, pie filling
If needed and you can't reach a veterinary professional, you can call the ASPCA 24/7 Poison Control Hotline at 888-426-4435 or the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661. Be aware there are fees for the services.
