At Thanksgiving time, accidental poisonings of pets can occur because of lack of knowledge. Some delectable foods on your Thanksgiving buffet can be lethal to your dog or cat. Of course, not all Thanksgiving foods are dangerous, and it is a holiday. With that in mind, here are some safe foods on your buffet table that you can safely share with your pet this Thanksgiving.

Turkey

As long as your pet doesn’t have any allergies, it’s safe to feed them a small about of turkey breast. Try to avoid fatty pieces (trimmings, skin, gravy, etc.) as this can over-stimulate and inflame the pancreas, causing pancreatitis.

Keep in mind that certain breeds are more prone to pancreatitis and should not be fed this snack, including Miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers and Shetland Sheepdogs.

Vegetables

Most veggies are a great snack for dogs. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans and sweet potatoes are all great options. As long as they’re not covered in anything too fatty or contain fake sugar (xylitol) they provide a low-calorie, high-fiber snack.

Cheese

Serving a cheese plate this holiday? While dogs and cats are often intolerant to lactose, there is a minimal amount in cheese (versus milk), so small amounts are just fine.

Bread

As long as the bread is baked correctly, it’s an okay snack for your dog. Keep in mind that unbaked bread can cause hypoglycemia or poisoning due to the unbaked sugar and yeast. Baked bread is a great low-calorie filler snack for your pup.

Stuffing

(NOTE: stuffing without garlic, onions and raisins/currants)

The breadcrumbs and meat flavor are usually a huge hit with pets. Small amounts are just fine, just be cautious that the stuffing does not include any of the common, poisonous ingredients above.

This Thanksgiving show thanks for your furry friendships by sharing a holiday treat with them. Keep in mind that too much of a good thing can have consequences, and too many holiday treats could end with vomiting or diarrhea.
