| A little is fine. I have always given my dogs a little ground beef, chicken, or turkey. Hey it isn't processed! I think any vet will tell you if you have an ill pet they will tell you a little egg. Hamburger and rice combination, and some white meat. The way I see it, I have had long living dogs and they were all fine. Mine also like raw mushrooms and watermelon! Go figure! |

| Turkey!!! Every year around Thanksgiving, the newspapers comes out with an article saying - "Don't give your pets turkey. It is bad for them." That's all well and fine, but I am old and I have given my dogs turkey for half a century. They never got sick. How in the world can you have a house "reeking with turkey" and not give your dogs a bite. In fact, I usually take all the leftover meat off the carcass and freeze it for the dogs. Nothing in excess is good for dogs or people. I know my entire family is dead after Thanksgiving dinner. We all "ate too much" and swear "we'll never do it again." But we do! There is a list out (on recent posts) that lists foods that are good and bad for pets. It says that turkey is okay. My goodness - white meat doesn't even hardly have any fat. My dogs are going to get some turkey. And, I'll save some leftovers to mix with rice. They won't eat it all in one day. It will be occasionally and will last for weeks. I hope all of you are having a great Thanksgiving. My turkey is in the oven, and I finally got my house presentable. My company will be arriving any time now. Fun fun fun!!! Carol Jean |

| Well, here's my story. I give Rowdy the toddler (human) chicken sticks and he also likes boiled chicken. So, naturally I thought he would like turkey and I offered him a bit from the table. He totally turned up his nose at it!! I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe he was getting sick because that's his MO, when he doesn't feel good, he will not eat anything, even the things he loves. But when we got home from my daughters, I gave him a chicken stick and he dived right in. Hmmmmm..... he's just not a turkey eater! Now, that's discriminating taste buds, if you ask me!

| I don't know if it's true or not...but I read somewhere that the tryptophan can cause their little hearts to stop...especially in very small breeds like ours. |

| I give Gus a little turkey but I make sure there is no skin on it. He loves it.

| I would bet that most of the dogs in the USA get some turkey at Thanksgiving. If anyone's little pets do have problems with Turkey - we'll hear about it. Two things -- 1) Be sure it was the Turkey that made your little guy sick. Unfortunately, they do eat a lot of other stuff they shouldn't when we have a house full of people giving the snacks. 2) How much Turkey did they have? Too much turkey could make a little dog (or big dog) sick. If they like something - they don't stop! Like I said in an earlier post, some of us grown-up people eat until we are miserable on Thanksgiving --and then do it again at Christmas.... Bye - Carol Jean |
