On this day of Thanksgiving, I'm sure we'll all be stuffing ourselves full of wonderful turkey and side dishes, but what about our pets? I've heard conflicting stories about whether or not it's okay to feed turkey to dogs, and, to tell you the truth, after researching the subject on the Internet, I'm still not totally sure one way or the other. On one hand, I've seen and fed my dogs brand-name foods with turkey as the main ingredient. Surely Mighty Dogs wouldn't be full of canned poison. But then again, I've heard many people say that you shouldn't give your dog turkey. So, what to believe? The only interesting tidbit of possibly reliable information that I came across was to not feed your dog the fatty portions of the turkey because it may cause pancreatitis. So, it's definitely possible that dog-food companies select the safest and best parts of the turkey to use in their foods, and that we shouldn't consider feeding a dog table scraps the same as feeding them regular dog food. That being said, it's probably best to talk to your vet about whether or not your dog should have turkey as a part of his diet. And if the answer is yes, here's a link to a recipe for turkey dog treats!
Happy Thanksgiving!
