Most #pets will come running to the table when they smell that #Thanksgivingdinner being served. I believe it's ok to give your #pet a bit of #turkey as a treat, but maybe not a whole meal. Make sure the #turkey is well-cooked and boneless! #Turkey bones can be just as harmful as chicken bones, which tend to splinter. DO NOT give your #pet raw #turkey or offer them the left over carcass! This can cause problems in their digestive systems.
Place their #Thanksgiving treat in their own bowl. This will keep them from assuming they can come begging at the table year 'round. Mix small bits of #turkey with their regular food, so they don't ditch their food and continue to expect people food.
Don't leave your alcoholic drinks unattended around #pets. Some of the sweeter aromas of those drinks can be inviting to #pets. Alcohol can be very toxic to your #pet, and even life-threatening.
Under no circumstances allow your pet to ingest onions,grapes, or chocolate!! They are known to be highly toxic to #pet!
Get your #pet some #exercise before or after the festivities. As long as they are tired, you can bet that they will a good dog while company is present.
If you're going out for the #blackfridaysales, be sure to provide plenty of #freshwater and food for your #pet. If you know you'll be gone all day, have someone look in on them, like me, a #petsitter, to ensure they get some #freshair, exercise, and attention while you're out.
I hope you, your family, and you #pets have a very #HappyThanksgiving and a safe #blackfriday shopping experience! Chachi and I send our #love to all of you! Let's take a moment in our day to #givethanks for the #blessings that our #pets are in our lives, and say a prayer of #love for all those #pets who do not yet have a #foreverhome.
I'd also like to point out to my readers, that on this day 6 yrs ago, Chachi came into my life. My #love for him is so deep that there are not words. I feel truly #blessed that he picked me to be his #dogmom, and I hope we have many more years together in this life. For Chachi, I am truly #thankful!
