\"Dog<\/a><\/p>\n

Can dogs eat stuffing? Can dogs eat turkey breast? What Thanksgiving foods can dogs safely eat?<\/p>\n

The quick answer is that there are certain foods that are unsafe or unhealthy for your dog to consume, and it\u2019s best to keep them out of reach of your dog. After all, the last thing anyone wants to do on Thanksgiving is to make an emergency trip to the vet!<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s good to be aware of what your dog can eat and what they can\u2019t, as well as dog-friendly alternatives they can consume so they\u2019re not totally left out of the festivities.<\/p>\n

15 Toxic or Dangerous Thanksgiving Foods Dogs CANNOT Eat<\/h1>\n

As a general rule of thumb, avoid feeding your dog fatty, salty, and spicy foods. You also don\u2019t want to introduce them to new foods cold turkey (pun intended), as it can irritate sensitive stomachs. Also, dogs\u2019 bodies process food and drink differently than humans, so you want to avoid these items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Turkey or ham bones (ANY cooked bones should be avoided)<\/li>\n
  2. Gravy<\/li>\n
  3. Onion and garlic<\/li>\n
  4. Chives, scallions, and leeks<\/li>\n
  5. Mushrooms<\/li>\n
  6. Stuffing, especially if it contains mushrooms, onion, garlic, raisins, etc.<\/li>\n
  7. Sage and nutmeg in large amounts<\/li>\n
  8. Xylitol-containing foods, often found in sweetened foods<\/li>\n
  9. Pies of any kind<\/li>\n
  10. Pits of peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots<\/li>\n
  11. Grapes and raisins<\/li>\n
  12. Chocolate<\/li>\n
  13. Coffee and caffeinated beverages<\/li>\n
  14. Alcoholic beverages<\/li>\n
  15. Yeast dough or raw bread<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    10 Safe Thanksgiving Foods Dogs CAN Eat<\/h1>\n

    After seeing that list, you may be wondering, what can dogs eat on Thanksgiving? While the following items are generally safe for dogs to eat, it\u2019s always best to offer them in moderation. Just like humans, dogs can get sick from eating too much of anything they are not used to having, so remember to keep that in mind when offering them these tasty snacks:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Cooked turkey meat without bones, skin, or seasonings<\/li>\n
    2. Cheese<\/li>\n
    3. Unseasoned potatoes<\/li>\n
    4. Green beans<\/li>\n
    5. Unseasoned peas<\/li>\n
    6. Unseasoned carrots<\/li>\n
    7. Rice<\/li>\n
    8. Corn\u2014not on the cob<\/li>\n
    9. Apples without the core and seeds<\/li>\n
    10. Cranberries<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Don\u2019t forget to throw away the trash at the end of the day to ensure your dog isn\u2019t tempted to dive into the trash when you\u2019re not looking.<\/p>\n
