THANKSGIVING TIPS FOR PET OWNERS

Tips to ensure that your pets are safe and happy during the Thanksgiving Season:

 Keep food out of easy reach! Agile and creative dogs or cats can nap a special treat from the kitchen counter, trash or even the dining room table.

Resist giving your furry pal leftovers. Rich and fatty foods like dressing, pie, and gravy can lead to serious and painful pancreatitis.

Cooked turkey bones can be a danger to your pet. They're sharp, and potentially very dangerous.

Don’t leave plates with bones lying around. Put plates in an unreachable area if you can't dispose of everything properly right away.

 Plan ahead for pets. Stop by a pet food store and purchase some new dog biscuits or cat treats and then reduce the amount of their regular meal to accommodate the treats they will be getting throughout the day.

Unless your dog is already on a raw diet, it is not recommend giving raw turkey in their bowl. The change from regular food might cause an upset stomach.

Make a special treat. Some people enjoy cooking for their dog and cat while they are cooking for the rest of the family. You can easily find recipe for homemade pet treats online.

Make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise before the festivities begin .A dog who has been on a big walk or played fetched will be much more likely to run out of energy during the feast than a dog who's been inside all day. A tired dog is a good dog on Thanksgiving.

By following a few basic tips, your dog will enjoy a fun, safe Thanksgiving.
