Thanksgiving Feast: What Your Dog Should NOT Eat – Tips from Well Groomed Pets for a Safe and Happy Holiday
Hello pet lovers OC pet lovers! As we eagerly anticipate the joyous Thanksgiving festivities, our team at Well Groomed Pets. We wants to ensure that your furry friends are safe, happy, and healthy this season. It's essential to remember that our beloved dogs have dietary restrictions, even amidst the tempting aroma of Thanksgiving feasts. To help keep your canine companions safe, here are some friendly reminders about what your dog should NOT eat this Thanksgiving.
1. Turkey Skin:
Although dogs love turkey meat, the skin often contains seasonings like garlic and onions, which can be harmful. Resist the temptation to share the skin, and your pup will appreciate a tasty, plain turkey treat instead!
2. Grapes and Raisins:
While these fruits are delightful for us, they can lead to kidney failure in dogs. Keep your cheese plates out of reach, ensuring your furry friend doesn't accidentally indulge.
3. Chocolate:
We all know chocolate is a big no-no for dogs. Theobromine, found in chocolate, is toxic to them. Be vigilant, and store chocolatey treats safely away from curious paws.
4. Nutmeg:
Found in many Thanksgiving desserts, nutmeg can cause seizures and nervous system issues in dogs. Make sure your pup stays clear of any nutmeg-spiced treats.
5. Alcohol:
Even a small amount of alcohol can wreak havoc on a dog's organs. Double-check that all beverages are safely secured to prevent any accidental sips.
6. Bones:
While dogs love to chew, cooked bones can splinter, causing harm to their digestive system. Opt for safe, specially designed dog treats for your pup's chewing pleasure.
7. Onions and Garlic:
Both these ingredients can lead to anemia in dogs, causing weakness and breathing problems. Avoid feeding them dishes seasoned with onions and garlic.
This Thanksgiving, Well Groomed Pets encourages you to create a special and pet-friendly feast for your dog.
Remember, a healthy pet is a happy pet! From our team at Well Groomed Pets, Orange County, we wish you and your furry friends a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, warmth, and safe, scrumptious treats. Here's to a joyful and pet-friendly holiday season ahead!
