Holiday Diet For Your Dog

Holiday Diet For Your Dog

The holiday diet of your pet should be carefully monitored if you don’ t want your dog to get sick.  We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas, by cooking  plenty of foods high in fat, sugar and salt.

So much food is prepared and served to family, friends and guest and anything left on plates generally is  feed to the dog.

When we  give our pets  fatty turkey skin or stuffing, we are  doing more than showing them our love—we may be upsetting their balanced diet, not to mention their stomach.

KEEPING SCRAPS SAFE

Many families eat turkey, ham and roast beef during the holidays. If your family does, you may be tempted to give your dog a bone or two to gnaw on. In almost every case, the bones are too small, sharp, and brittle for your dog to chew on safely. Sharp bones can cause intestinal perforations and blockages, which can turn a fun holiday treat into an expensive emergency room nightmare. Dog Table Scrap

It’s OK to give table scraps. Just be sure that they’re healthy, low calorie, low salt and low fat so that your dog can enjoy many years of long life with you.

OK as Snacks:

  • Lean bits of cooked turkey, beef, pork or fish without the skin and without bones.
  • Raw vegetables other than onions or garlic. Good choices are carrots, celery, lettuce and cabbage hearts.
  • Cooked vegetables without butter and salt (no onions or garlic).
  • Plain raw pumpkin.
  • Peanut butter is ok, but it very oily and high in calories. Give sparingly.

NOT OK as Snacks:

  •  Raisins
  •  Grapes
  • Foods  with onions
  • Anything starchy (bread, potatoes, pasta)
  • Desserts
  • Foods with chocolate
  • Anything with sugar
  • Anything with alcohol
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Raw meat
  • Bones
  • Turkey skin/chicken skin

We are humanizing our pets    Pets have long been considered part of the family, but in recent years that has started to translate to actually treating pets more like people – a trend called “humanization.” Pet owners are seeking out higher quality foods, more high-end accessories and more expensive medical treatments. Largely gone are the days of “outside dogs” that just “see to themselves.”
