As you gather around the table with family and friends this Thanksgiving, lets not forget about our furry friends. It’s a special time for them too. After all, they were adopted and have a warm, loving home with lots of food and treats so why not make their holiday special as well?  Of course, stay away from treats that can harm your dog like chocolate and other food that may harm his stomach. Here are five great treats for your dog during the holidays.

1.  Cooked vegetables like pumpkins, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and peas are terrific options for cats and dogs.
2. Bones and chews – don’t give your dog turkey bones as they may break and cause your dog to choke or injury to his intestines. Instead look for some tasty turkey flavored chews.
3. Fresh turkey – remove the skin and bones and don’t give him turkey that has been sitting for more than two hours.
4. Biscuits and other treats. You’ll find these at your local pet supermarket.
5. Toys.  You can pick out a toy that your dog will “drool” over. This is a good option in place of food.

Have a great Thanksgiving with you family, friends and pets!

Remember, pets are family!
