It is so hard to resist sharing turkey dinner with those big brown puppy dog eyes staring at you. If you can’t resist, try lean cooked turkey meat, mash potatoes without the fatty gravy, and vegetables without the butter, garlic or onions. Or try Merrick's Thanksgiving Day Dinner dog food. Avoid giving Fido sweets or fatty foods as they can cause and upset stomach and diarrhea. Never feed Fido turkey bones as they tend to shatter or sliver and can get stuck in the back of Fido’s throat or stomach. Always avoid feeding any side dish that contains raw garlic or onions. Garlic and onions contain a toxin that can cause anemia. In the case that Fido does get into something he/she shouldn’t, always know where your emergency animal hospital is located and hours of operation during the holiday.
Now that Fido is enjoying a smart and healthy Thanksgiving dinner, here are a few tips to a healthier and thinner holiday for you… Get active and burn off extra calories before indulging in your favorite foods. Don’t skip breakfast. Starting your day off with a small but satisfying breakfast will help you control your appetite throughout the day. Keep your portions to reasonable size. Don’t fill your plate with foods you can have all year long and keep to only those that come around once a year. Keep a mindset of weight maintenance instead of weight loss during the holiday season.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
