Thanksgiving Leftovers

My dog Max

Yesterday someone asked if Max could have a little turkey. I said “sure, just a little though” and a few people started going into a rant about how turkey can kill your dog.  One person even said they had a friend who had a dog die because of turkey.  Well of course I don’t want that little guy over there dead so no more turkey…

If I was smart I would have whipped out the blackberry right there and did a google search. If I would have done that Max would have had a much better Thanksgiving!  IT IS OK TO FEED TURKEY TO YOUR DOG! Just no skin, the skin is high in fat and hard for them to digest.  It can lead to acute pancreatitis or so a google search says.  You also don’t want to feed any poultry bones to your dog as they are hollow and splinter easily. The bones can cause bowel obstruction and require surgery to remove.
