Keeping pets safe during any holidays may be tricky.  Here is some useful information on how to keep them safe during Thanksgiving.

Keeping pets safe is our job as parents, and we usually do a pretty good job on a day in and day out basis.  Holidays however sometimes mess up our routines.  That’s when we need to be especially attentive to our surroundings, making sure that our furry babies are safe.

Here are some tips on keeping them safe during Thanksgiving.

 

1.  Turkey.  If you decide to feed turkey to your pets, please make sure to remove all the bones.

2.  No Bread Dough.  Make sure your pets don’t get into raw break dough.  According to ASPCA experts, pets’ body heat will cause bread dough expand which may cause vomiting or even require a surgery.

3.  No cake.  Pets are notorious for hanging out in the kitchen.  Make sure the cake batter is out of their reach.  It has raw eggs and may cause salmonella…

4.  Don’t overfeed.  It is totally harmless to give them some nibbles of your turkey dinner, just make sure your pets don’t gorge on their food too quickly, and make sure it’s not the larger than usual portion of food their bodies are used to.
