Hello there! Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time to enjoy delicious foods with family, but it's important to remember that not all human foods are safe for our furry friends.
Let's start with what's okay in moderation: plain turkey meat, sweet potatoes, and green beans can be safe treats for pets. However, these should be unseasoned and free from butter or gravies, as these can upset a pet’s stomach.
On the other hand, some foods must be completely off the menu for your pets. Turkey bones can splinter and become a choking hazard. Foods like stuffing, onions, garlic, and grapes are toxic to pets. Also keep away anything with chocolate or xylitol, a common sugar substitute.
If your pet manages to sneak something they shouldn’t, keep an eye out for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior. These could indicate a problem like gastrointestinal upset or something more severe like toxicity.
For safe at-home care, ensure they continually have access to fresh water and avoid giving them too many table scraps.
If you notice any worrying symptoms or if you’re unsure about a specific food, it might be best to book a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. We're here to help keep your Thanksgiving stress-free for both you and your pet!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
