Title: Beware of These Thanksgiving Foods That Could Harm Your Pet
Hello pet lovers! As we approach the festive season, it's important to keep our furry friends in mind. At The Hungry Puppy, your pet's health is our priority. We want to ensure your Thanksgiving dinner doesn't lead to an unexpected trip to the vet. Here are some Thanksgiving foods that could be harmful to your pet.
Firstly, let's talk turkey. While it might seem harmless to give your pet a little bit of turkey, it's crucial to avoid feeding them any turkey that's been seasoned with garlic, onions, or other harmful seasonings. Garlic and onions can cause anemia in dogs and cats, leading to serious health problems. Instead, we recommend feeding them a delicious, healthy alternative like Merrick's grain-free Thanksgiving Day Dinner. It's a pet-friendly feast that's specially formulated for your pet's nutritional needs.
Next on our list is stuffing. Stuffing is typically loaded with ingredients that can harm your pet, such as onions, garlic, and raisins. Raisins, in particular, can cause kidney failure in dogs. Instead, consider giving your pet a treat like Blue Buffalo's Wilderness Trail Treats. They're grain-free, crunchy, and perfectly safe for your pet to enjoy.
Beware of desserts, especially those containing chocolate or artificial sweeteners. Chocolate can be toxic for dogs and cats, while the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause a sudden drop in your pet's blood sugar and even liver failure. Instead of sharing your pie, why not treat your pet to a dessert of their own? Check out our selection of Fruitables Skinny Minis on our website. These chewy, pumpkin and mango flavored treats are a healthy and tasty alternative.
Bones and fat trimmings may seem like the perfect treat for a dog, but they can be very harmful. Bones can splinter and cause damage to your pet's digestive system while fat trimmings can lead to pancreatitis. Instead, consider a safer chew toy like the Kong Classic Dog Toy. It's durable, keeps your pet entertained, and can be filled with treats for added fun.
Lastly, consider the drinks you're serving. Alcohol and caffeine are both harmful to pets and can lead to a range of health issues from vomiting to seizures. Always ensure your drinks are out of your pet's reach and provide them with plenty of fresh water to drink.
We know that Thanksgiving is a time for sharing, but when it comes to your pet, it's best to stick to their regular diet or use pet-approved treats. At The Hungry Puppy, we have a wide selection of pet foods and treats that will keep your pet happy and healthy during the holiday season.
Remember, our pet-friendly Dog Park and Rainbow Bridge Pet Memorial Park are always open for you and your pet to enjoy. Plus, The Hungry Puppy offers in-store shopping, curbside pickup, FREE Local Delivery, and Nationwide Shipping. We're here to provide the best customer service and the lowest prices on pet supplies.

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at The Hungry Puppy!
