Delicious for people, dangerous for pets

While many of us will eat way too much on Thanksgiving Day, there are some family members who should watch their diet: pets. I’m going to be honest. I’m horrible about giving my dogs table scraps. (It’s their adorable faces! I am such a wimp!) But there are several things you won’t find even me sneaking under the table for my dogs. Here’s a list from the ASPCA of the most toxic Thanksgiving foods for animals:

• Sage.
• Chocolate.
• Candy with xylitol.
• Bread dough.
• Batter with raw eggs.
• Onions and garlic.
• Macadamia nuts.
• Raisins and grapes.
• Rich or spicy foods.
• Alcohol.

There is good news, though, for pushovers like me. You can share turkey. Make sure it’s cooked and bone-free. That’s one way to safely give in to those puppy-dog eyes.
