A lot of the turkeys are pumped full of substances that are supposed to make them more tender for the humans. The pre-basted turkeys are the worst. I mean if you like them...fine, but don't give it to your dog. Even an all natural turkey can sometimes be too fatty for dogs that have digestive issues especially if it has gravy, butter or other fatty ingredients added to it.
Buy or make some of your dog's favorite treats and have them handy for special occasions. Even some good, fresh, unseasoned, low fat meat that you have on hand would be good for the furry family members and make them feel like they are in on the festivities. The smell of all those goodies cooking must drive them up the wall when they can't enjoy any kind of tasty treat. |
