We know most of our clients include their beloved pets in their holiday festivities, so we wanted to offer a few helpful tips to help keep your pet’s Thanksgiving safe and fun.
Many of those delicious Thanksgiving foods we look forward to all year can cause diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, or even pancreatitis in pets, so be thoughtful when sharing your Thanksgiving feast with your pets. |

Keep in mind that raw eggs and raw or undercooked turkey may contain salmonella bacteria, onions and garlic (including powders) can be toxic, and turkey bones can actually splinter and perforate the intestines. A small amount of cooked turkey meat is your best bet for a safe and tasty treat. Skip the skin and gravy, which can contain marinade, spices, oils, and fats which can cause stomach upset.
Be sure to keep your kitchen trash secure and take it out at the end of the day. Bones, onions, chocolate, and other Thanksgiving goodies are hard for a curious pet to resist!
Keep in mind that the busy hub-bub of the typical Thanksgiving can at times be a bit overwhelming for pets, so be sure yours has a comfy and quiet corner (or even better, room) to retire to when a break is needed.

Wishing you and your loved ones (human and not!) a happy and bountiful
Thanksgiving holiday!
Sincerely,
Your friends at Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital |
