Happy Thanksgiving and Remember to Keep Your Pets Safe

We want to wish all of our clients and our furry and feline friends a Happy, Wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving! Remember to keep your pets safe and out of areas that are easily accessible to them and potentially dangerous. We’ve posted on this before, but here are a few reminders for those who want their pets to be included in giving thanks and eating.

You can give your pets:

  • Turkey– good for them and you, as it’s lean and full or protein. Make sure it’s given to them without bones or excess skin or fat.
  • Mashed potatoes– Has to be plain with no additional ingredients.
  • Cranberry sauce– watch the sugar, though.
  • Macaroni and cheese– watch the ingredients, and monitor if your pet’s stomach can handle it, because they can become lactose intolerant too.
  • Green Beans– Plain green beans are best, and not part of a casserole with additional ingredients.

Do not give your pets:

  • Onions, garlics, leeks, or scallions- Large portions of these foods can lead to toxic anemia.
  • Grapes– they cause kidney failure.
  • Sweeteners– like Xylitol, as they are poisonous and deadly.
  • Always no to chocolate– it’s very deadly to pets.
  • Always no to alcohol– a small amount can be very toxic for an animal, and can lead to alcohol poisoning.
