What is on your yorkies menu for Thanksgiving? I want to make Chase and Calvin a special meal. I was thinking some turkey, sweet potato, and green beans. Maybe some yogurt for dessert? I need some ideas

I thought turkey was bad for dogs? it was what went around the last time I had a thanksgiving dinner with family and had dogs around. I'm not sure...google is my friend, let me see..

White meat turkey, no skin, is fine to give. I think sweet potatoes would be fine as long as no sugar or marshmallows are added. Green beans and yoqurt are both good for them

Ah, just got done reading an article about it, white meat no fat is okay to give

Good to know.

I always give turkey (white meat only) sweet potatoe and green beans both plain no sugar or salt...My girl loves it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We did thanksgiving two days ago. I gave the yorkies some white meat from the turkey and some sweet potatoe mixed in with their kibble.

I had to boil the sweet potatoes before I made the casserole, so I just mashed some plain, boiled sweet potatoe. The loved it!

I have to work the day before, the day of, and the day after thanksgiving. but I asked my Boyfriend to bring me and the fur babies a plate back from when he goes and sees his family ...

yorkieusa · 11-22-2010, 08:06 AM

Oh, yes! They love sweet potatoes.

CouversMom · 11-22-2010, 09:28 AM

Ooo I might have to make my two their own plate for Thanksgiving...

Britster · 11-22-2010, 09:52 AM

I think it's the turkey skin that you have to watch out for. I know last Christmas my aunt gave Jackson too much skin from the ham (I didn't know she was doing this) and he puked it right back up.

I never thought about it-- I guess I should make Jackson his own plate too!

Our's get a little Turkey breast (skinless) and sweet potatoes....I consider the pumpkin in the kibble to be the desert!

I picked up some organic frozen sweet potato cubes, and some organic yogurt yesterday. We already have green beans. I didn't have any luck finding turkey at the healthy store yesterday, so I'll try at the grocery store today or tomorrow. We are going to my grandma's for thanksgiving, so I will have to make them their meal when we get home. Is it bad that I am not cooking for us, but just the dogs

No! It is great! They appreciate it more than people anyway.
