Thanksgiving Meal for Pups?

[capt_noonie]

Uni doesn't get a special Thanksgiving dinner sadly. We don't cool for Thanksgiving, we go our for Chinese food. No way Uni can have any of that!

Just remember if anyone is giving turkey from the "people" turkey, make sure no skin or fat! Thanksgiving is one of the top times pets go to the vet bc of eating fatty foods like turkey skin and gravy.

I would only give turkey to Gracie if it is not injected with the various things that some Thanksgiving turkeys are. Most meat that humans eat has been injected at some time during it's lifetime with antibiotics, steroids and hormones. Many Thanksgiving turkeys are additionally injected with various substances to make the meat seem tender and juicy. It may be OK in a small amount for one day but I don't give it to Gracie. She loves the raw food she is usually on and I do make her a meal or two a week from a combination of meat and veggies. I always use all natural meat and organic vegetables. She is one healthy dog and loving it.

Yeah that's a good point that didn't really occur to me because I make the turkey for THEM not ME

White meat only and no onions or garlic or raisins, etc if you are sharing your dinner.

I routinely purchase all organic meats and veg for my girls. I'm pretty sure the venison I get from my brother's backyard is hormone free too but that is an excellent point.

((I doubt kibble manufacturers use organic hormone free meats....))

Do you know if they take your specific dog into consideration? Or a generalization? Waffles has many things she can't eat due to her food problems and my sons life threatening food allergies. I don't want to waste 25 bucks if its a general dog diet thing. Lol

Yes. It's an extensive questionnaire pertaining to each pup in your household.
