A Safe Thanksgiving Plate for Your Pup.

โ€ข

As Benbrook homes fill up with holiday cooking, many families start wondering what their dogs can safely enjoy from the Thanksgiving table.

A local reminder making the rounds this week offers a clear, helpful guide so your four-legged family member can celebrate without emergency vet visits.

The good news: plenty of the classics are dog-friendly when served plain and in moderation. Simple green beans, a few unglazed carrots, a spoonful of cooked sweet potato before the marshmallows go on, or a bit of plain mashed potato work fine for most pups. Even a small scoop of stuffing can be offered if it is free of onions and rich add-ins. Sliced apples and plain pumpkin are also safe treats.

The warning list is just as important. Skip the gravy, raisins, alcohol, and anything heavily seasoned or sugary. These items can be dangerous, even in small amounts.

If you want to give your dog a special Thanksgiving plate, think clean, simple, and unseasoned. Keeping things safe ensures your pet gets to enjoy the fun right alongside the rest of the family.
