Healthy Human Food for Your Pets
Dangerous Treats
Mmmmmm— oh, sorry! Izzy and I were distracted by all these wonderful smells in our home! This month, our humans will gather with family and friends for a large feast, and our temptation to snag a treat will be overwhelming. As the good dogs we are, Izzy and I wouldn’t dare steal from our family. But if they want to share with us, hopefully they know these dos and don’ts for feeding pets human food. Some human foods are great for our nutrition! Turkey can be a “paw-some” and yummy source of protein for our growing bodies as long as our owners make sure the meat is bone-, skin-, and seasoning-free. Humans can also mix some raw pumpkin or unseasoned sweet or mashed potatoes into our kibble for a Thanksgiving treat. A spoonful of cranberry sauce is another hearty and healthy addition to our meals. Many mild vegetables and fruits are great sources of nutrients for us. Plus, they are like doggie candy! Be sure you know your doggo’s limits before feeding them human treats. As tiny Westies, we can’t handle as much as our greyhound friends. But we can certainly take more than our Chihuahua pals. Treats We Love
Despite how good everything smells, there are some foods we can’t digest. Don’t give us any side salads, as most contain ingredients we should avoid (such as grapes, raisins, garlic, and onions). We also can’t have any desserts. Chocolate and sugars — especially artificial sweeteners — can actually be poisonous to us.
No matter howmuch we beg, be sure you’re only giving us food that’s good for us. Izzy and I recommend visiting the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ website for more information on pet dos and don’ts this holiday season.
Now, we’ll get back to the smells. Happy Thanksgiving!
