Thanksgiving Day Pet Tips

Reduce your dog’s regular food portions during the holidays through the less-active winter months. Consult with your veterinarian before downsizing to determine the right portion.

* As a rule, don’t feed pets holiday treats or leftovers. Some foods such as chocolates, uncooked bread dough and macadamia nuts can actually be life threatening.

* Instead of human foods, give your dog treats specifically for canines. Training reward-type treats are especially good, because they’re typically bite-sized and individually very low in calories.

* Be sure to tell your guests not to feed the pet. If everyone at a holiday party sneaks even a little food to the dog, it can quickly add up.

* Even though things get hectic during the holidays, try to stick with your dog’s normal routine of outdoor play and walks.

It doesn't seem fair that the most festive days for humans are the most dangerous for dogs.

I didn't know about the uncooked dough.
thanks for that tip.
I wouldn't be likely to give it to the dog, though, as it's my favorite treat for myself! I think I never grew up. I sometimes make scones (I think they're called something else in the US - soft things you bake for ten minutes at a high temperature). Anyway... I make them just so I can scoff the dough when I'm putting them in the oven.
