As Thanksgiving approaches, we can already smell the delicious aroma of turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie wafting through the air. It's a time for giving thanks, spending quality time with loved ones, and indulging in a feast. However, as pet owners, it's crucial to keep in mind that our furry family members might have different plans for the day. At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we want to ensure that your pets have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving alongside you. In this blog, we'll discuss safe foods and decor to consider, so everyone, including your four-legged friends, can have a pawsitively perfect Thanksgiving.



​
Safe Foods for Pets
  1. Turkey: While turkey is a Thanksgiving staple, be cautious with how you share it with your pets. Remove the bones and any excess fat, and ensure it's cooked thoroughly. Small portions are okay, but avoid excessive turkey consumption, as it can lead to upset stomachs.
  2. Plain Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes can be a healthy and safe treat for your pets. Just make sure they're plain, without added butter, spices, or marshmallows.
  3. Plain Green Beans: Green beans are a safe veggie option for pets, as long as they're unseasoned and free of sauces or seasonings.
  4. Cranberry Sauce: A small amount of plain, unsweetened cranberry sauce can be a tasty addition to your pet's meal.
  5. Pumpkin: Plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, can help with your pet's digestion and is a safe option.
Foods to Avoid
  1. Bones: Never give your pets turkey or chicken bones, as they can splinter and cause choking hazards.
  2. Onions and Garlic: These ingredients are toxic to pets and should be kept out of their reach.
  3. Grapes and Raisins: These can lead to kidney failure in some dogs, so avoid sharing them.
  4. Chocolate and Desserts: Keep all chocolate and sugary treats out of your pet's reach, as they are toxic.
  5. Alcohol: Ensure alcoholic beverages are kept away from pets at all times.
Pet-Friendly Thanksgiving Decor
  1. Pet-Safe Plants: Opt for pet-friendly plants like spider plants, Boston ferns, or bamboo palm in your Thanksgiving decor. Avoid toxic plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe.
  2. Candles: If you use candles in your Thanksgiving decor, keep them out of your pet's reach to prevent accidental fires or burns.
  3. Table Decorations: Be cautious with table decorations that pets might find appealing or hazardous. Keep fragile or small items away from your pet's access.
  4. Wires and Cords: Ensure that any decorative lights or wires are secured and hidden to prevent chewing.

Thanksgiving is a time to come together and celebrate, and it's important to include our pets in the festivities while keeping their safety in mind. By following these tips, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your Thanksgiving celebrations while ensuring your furry friends stay healthy and happy. At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we wish you and your pets a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday!
