It’s Unsafe to Feed Your Dog Scraps from the Thanksgiving Table (Even Turkey!), Vet Expert Says

One thing that won’t change? Your pet’s presence on Turkey Day. Whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving virtually or not, chances are your dog will be there by your side, especially while your cooking. And while this year it may be more tempting than ever to share some of your holiday feast with Fido, Dr. Gerardo Perez-Camargo, Freshpet’s expert veterinarian, is here to remind pet owners that feeding your dog scraps from your Thanksgiving meal is unsafe and can sometimes lead to long-term or fatal health problems for your pooch.

Simple staples like turkey or sweet potatoes may seem safe to feed your dog, but Dr. Perez-Camargo says that these foods could be hiding something dangerous.
