DO: Allow small amounts of turkey, sweet potato, or vegetables like green beans, carrots or broccoli not seasoned and/or covered in butter.

DO: Give treats in a puzzle toy. There are many commercial choices or DIY ideas for dogs or cats.

DO: Try hiding tiny pieces of turkey for cats so they use their nose and natural instincts to find them.

DO: Let your pet have their own space and time. Gatherings with lots of people can be very stressful for them. Secluding them in a room, crate, or restricting guests' access to them may be helpful in keeping everyone safe during the party or mealtime.

DON'T: Everyone likes to share, especially guests, but don't over-indulge your pet.

DON'T: Feed your pet fatty foods (ham, gravy, etc.) that are harder to digest and can lead to pancreatitis.

DON'T: Feed your pet anything containing raw eggs (raw cakes, pies, etc.) which could lead to salmonella.

DON'T: Yeast from raw/uncooked bread can lead to an emergency visit and hospitalization due to sugar breakdown and alcohol release.

DON'T: Sugar free desserts contain Xylitol, which is toxic to pets and can cause low blood sugar, liver failure, and seizures.

DON'T: Chocolate is toxic to pets and can lead to vomiting/diarrhea, heart problems and possibly tremors or seizures.

DON'T: When cooking with onions, be careful and don't share these foods with pets. They are toxic and can lead to blood issues, specifically anemia due to destruction/damage of red blood cells.
