Common Thanksgiving foods can send your pet to the vet: What’s safe, what to avoid

Eating just about anything comes with the territory on Thanksgiving, but you should use more discretion when it comes to your dog or cat.

Most people know that things like splintering roasted turkey bones or onion-filled stuffing are unsafe for four-legged friends, but there are plenty of other common holiday offerings that can also be problematic.

That said, some can also be tasty and safe options in small portions. With that in mind, here is closer look at the food dos and don’ts when it comes to dogs, cats and holiday grub.

Safe:

Small amounts of unseasoned turkey breast – safe lean protein for both dogs and cats.

Small amounts of smoked salmon – cats especially enjoy it, and it’s safe in moderation.

Plain, cooked pumpkin – nutritious and high in fiber but remove seeds and skin
