Give Your Pet a Thanksgiving Feast Too
Did you know that you can feed your pet several ingredients that you’ll eat on Thanksgiving too? Does that make you feel better knowing that your pet can have some of the same foods that often times you think they can’t have, and you feel bad when the aroma reaches their nose and their smelling the air and looking at you like “Why can’t I have any?” Many animal lovers and owners don’t want to feed their pets from the table, or have them making a meal out on the food we eat, but with this Thanksgiving meal for your pet, you can’t go wrong.
According to veterinarian and owner of six dogs, Dr. Jyl Rubin, states that your pet can enjoy their own special meal on Thanksgiving. How easy is it? All you need is:
- Crockpot
- Ground Turkey Burgers
- Lowfat Organic Turkey
- Salmon
- Celery
- Sweet Potatoes
- Butternut Squash
- Zucchini
- Cranberries
Why are these ingredients good for our pets? Says Dr. Rubin, “the way we eat is the way our pets should eat — organic, nice and whole fresh foods.” The benefits of some of the ingredients are:
- Fiber
- Urinary health
- Omegas
However, Dr. Jyl does suggest and warn a few notable points; be sure to skin the salmon and meat (ensure skin is off), use low-fat meat in case of any gastrointestinal issues, and pets who have arthritis should not give their pets rhubarb, eggplant or tomatoes.
