Thanksgiving is a time for expressing gratitude, spending time with loved ones, and indulging in delectable dishes. As we gather to celebrate this special holiday, our furry companions are often right beside us, eagerly anticipating a taste of the Thanksgiving feast. While it's tempting to share the joy of the holiday with our pets, it's essential to be cautious about the foods we offer them. Together, we'll explore some pet-friendly Thanksgiving treats that are safe and enjoyable for your four-legged friends.
Pet-Safe Options
Turkey is a Thanksgiving staple and can also be a pet-friendly option in moderation. Before offering it to your pets, ensure that the turkey is skinless, boneless, and free of excess fat. Avoid seasoned or heavily seasoned meat, as certain spices can be harmful to pets.
Plain Pumpkin- Plain, canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) is an excellent choice for pets. Packed with fiber, it can aid in digestion. Mixing a spoonful of plain pumpkin into your pet's food can add a festive touch to their meal.
Sweet Potatoes- Nutritious and delicious, sweet potatoes are a great treat for pets. Rich in vitamins and fiber, a small portion of plain, cooked sweet potatoes can be shared with your pets. It's important to avoid adding butter, sugar, or marshmallows, as these can be harmful.
Green Beans Plain - steamed green beans can be a healthy addition to your pet's Thanksgiving plate. Low in calories and rich in vitamins and minerals, plain green beans without added seasonings or sauces are ideal.
Or, even better, opt to share delectable edibites available from DotDrop in a variety of enticing flavors, with your furry friend on this special holiday.
