Here is your quick and easy guide to building a safe Thanksgiving plate for your dog straight from your own holiday meal!!! 🦃🐾
Your pup can absolutely enjoy a special plate with you as long as you pick the right ingredients and prep them safely. I went over all of this on Good Morning Texas today, but here are the basics:
YES to:
• White turkey meat (no skin, no seasoning)
• Sweet potato
• Pumpkin or squash
• Carrots
• Celery
• Blueberries (a few only)
• Quinoa or oats (clean grain option)
• Flaxseed meal (about 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds)
NO to:
• Turkey skin
• Bones
• Seasonings
• Onions
• Corn & Green Beans (in one end out the other veggies can aggravate tummies!)
• Casseroles ir desserts
• Gravy
• Butter-heavy dishes
• Anything salty, spicy, or creamy
A few important reminders!!!
• Cut everything into appropriate bite-size pieces.
• Add a clean grain like quinoa or oats for balanced digestion.
• Add flaxseed meal for fiber and omegas.
• This holiday plate should replace their dinner, not be added on top of it.
• Keep servings modest to avoid tummy trouble.
This is such a fun tradition and such an easy way to include your dog without risking the ER or a carpet disaster. Save this guide and feel free to share it with anyone cooking for their pups this week!!!
Happy Fursgiving!!! 💖🐶✨
