A Thanksgiving Meal for All My Pooch Friends The Thanksgiving holiday is a time to celebrate the bless- ings of the season with family and friends. With a bounty of home-cooked food in your home, you may be tempted to share a few tasty treats with your canine companion. After all, who can resist a dog’s soulful eyes begging for just one little gobble of turkey? Wafting aromas of hot baked sweet potatoes, herb-filled stuffing or spicy pumpkin pie are much too alluring for even the best behaved pet to pass up. But hold off feeding your dog from the Thanksgiving table. Vet- erinary experts warn that many of the traditional holiday Maria Puopolo, legislative recipes for people are dangerous to your dog’s health. aide to Senator Anthony Feeding dogs large quantities of a new food, as well as Petruccelli with NEAD NEAD Board Members serving dinner. fatty foods, such as turkey gravy, mashed potatoes with President John Romano.

Even sugar-free items that contain xylitol can be dangerous, causing stomach or intestinal irritation. Beware of onions, too! These popular Thanksgiving ingredients used in stuffing, vegetable dishes, and some salads can cause life-threatening anemia when a dog ingests large amounts. Serve healthy treats with your dog on Thanksgiving. Do it safely with the following healthy foods, rather than feed- ing him/her directly from the table. Resist giving in to those pleading canine faces by adding a few things in your dog’s bowl before you sit down to dine. When your dog is full, it’s less likely to bother you. For a dog who’s accustomed to eating commercial dry dog food, feeding a bowlful of fresh treats all at once is almost certain to cause intestinal upset. Instead feed small amounts at different meals. Here are a few healthy Thanksgiving choices for dogs: • White meat turkey without the skin • Plain baked or sweet potatoes without the skin • Steamed carrots, broccoli or string beans without any butter, sauce or seasoning • Salt-free canned chicken broth • Plain canned pumpkin, but not the pumpkin pie filing • Sliced raw apples SAFE CLEANUP Everyone sat down for a great Italian dinner.
