Thanksgiving foods you can & can't share with your dog.

Bet you didn't think of all of these! [BarkShop logo]( Happy Thanksgiving, little chickadogs! [Dog at Thanksgiving dinner]([FreshPet via YouTube]( We hope your upcoming Turkey Day is filled with love, gratitude, warmth, and delicious noms—basically what we want for all dogs, every day of the year. Speaking of dogs (when are we not?), we know their ears and snoots are going to be all perky when they get a whiff of all the cooking this week. It can be tough to ignore a good "sit pretty," or even a charming "harumph." For the most part, though, you should. [sad dog]( There are a lot of heavy creams, herbs, and spices that make Thanksgiving a dangerous minefield for your pup's tummy. Here are the most harmful culprits: Stuffing/Dressing We know, we know, it's the best part of Thanksgiving! But there's a reason—it's packed with onions and garlic, both of which are toxic to dogs. Guess you'll just have to eat it all yourself. Pecan Pie Many people don't know that nuts are terrible for dogs. They can cause muscle spasms and weakness of the legs for up to 48 hours. What about the famously canine-friendly peanut butter? It's totally fine! That's because peanuts aren't actually nuts; they're legumes. Booze What is a family dinner without libations? We get it. But be careful that your dog doesn't join in on the fun. Grapes, hops, and alcohol itself are all hazardous to your pup. [happy dog](But! There are a few snacks you can toss down while you're prepping for your feast, and your pup will surely be thankful. Eating and thanks? That is the reason for the season, after all. Sweet Potato Not to be confused with yams, sweet potatoes are high fiber and packed with beta-carotene, plus vitamins C and B6. The skins are particularly nutritious, so don't worry if a few cooked peelings find their way onto the floor. Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) Truly, pumpkin is a pup's superfood. It can act as a laxative or a firming agent, it can help your dog lose weight, or it can pad their diet. Basically, pumpkin always knows best. Carrots Carrots have lots of nutrients that are great for humans and pups alike! Whether raw or dry roasted, your pup would be lucky to take a taste. What's up, doc dog? Turkey Ah yes, the bona fide star of the show. Make sure all bones and greasy skins are removed before serving to your pup. If you skip the skin and gravy, turkey is a great low fat, high protein snack! If nothing else, you can always get them toys that [look like food](. Eatings Greetings!
