As the turkey cooks in the oven and the green beans simmer on the stove, you’ll probably see Fido start sniffing his way to the kitchen.  He wants a Thanksgiving feast, too!

While it’s tempting to stuff your dog with as much festive food as you’ll stuff yourself with, resist those cute little puppy dog eyes and you’ll be doing your furry companion a favor. 

While a few holiday treats won’t harm your pets, you need to know which Thanksgiving dishes are okay for your dog and which ones aren’t.  The folks over at Dogster have put together an article featuring the pet culinary guidelines of the holiday season:

Don’t overfeed your pet:

We know, it’s tempting to spoil your dog with a huge taste of everything humans get to eat, but try your best to avoid this.  Overindulging your dog can lead to an upset stomach and possible life-threatening conditions.

Avoid giving your dog turkey bones:

Cooked poultry bones, when crushed as your dog chews them, can shatter into sharp pieces.  If your dog swallows the bones, they can become lodged in the digestive system, which can be very dangerous to the health of your pet.

Keep cooking herbs out of the reach of dogs:

The essential oils found in sage and other herbs, when eaten by dogs, can cause an upset stomach.  If eaten in large quantities, the herbs may cause central nervous system depression.  Keep them in a place your dog can’t get to.

Don’t allow your dog to eat onions:

Onions are toxic to dogs and can cause a form of anemia that can go undetected for days.  Keep your dog away from all types of onions.

Avoid giving your dog raw food:

Unless they’re already on a raw food diet, don’t allow your dog to eat raw food, as it could cause digestive problems.  Take special caution regarding raw dough, which can expand in your dog’s tummy and cause pain, vomiting and bloating.

Keep your dog from sipping your drink:

It’s been found that some dogs like alcoholic drinks.  Curious dogs are prone to try an unguarded drink, but too much alcohol can lead to illness, a coma and even death, so keep your pup from the booze and it may keep him from the ER.
