Thanksgiving is less than a week away, followed by a few days of leftovers, and then winter holiday celebrations and dinner with friends. It is a challenge for mankind to avoid the return of a pandemic or continue to lose it. Another problem is to keep pets away from party tables and make sure they do not eat or do anything against them.
Every fall, emails, social media posts, and articles will provide a public list of pet considerations for pets. The basic skills of making a casserole are easy, as follows:
The cat smelled the peach pie on the wooden table with fresh fruit, kettle, fork and knife on it.
Back to food: Pets usually don't know about holidays, unless it's Thanksgiving. Unless you symbolically end the day with a thawed turkey or Tofurky dinner or go to a restaurant, animals will react to the noise, a group of strangers in the house, and of course food, whether you bring it to a potluck or Cook it and serve it in your own home. So of course, you know you have to give them your own Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, there are some things that pets shouldn't eat, but they can and are willing to eat a lot of things. The recipes and recommendations come from the same sources as the food precautions. On social media, there are more recipes for dogs than cats, but this is related to the law of picky: the more you cook for cats, the more chances they will sniff and follow perfunctorily and leave. Dogs usually hide anything they see, no matter where it is, so it is good to give them something they will appreciate. Dog Bakery has prepared a complete Thanksgiving dinner recipe for your dog on its blog page. If cats know that this is someone else’s food, they may break in.
If you don’t like cooking at home, you can order a ready-made Barksgiving dinner from The Dog Bakery-everything from appetizers to desserts, but you may have to wait until next year because the deadline is approaching. You can give them their own small plate of unseasoned table scraps, such as turkey, with no condiments or herbs, and of course no filling. If they like potatoes, they can eat potatoes. You can safely mix cranberries without jelly or other sticky substances into their food-there are several brands of pet food that include them. Green beans and peas are good for animals, and raw pumpkin is good for stomachs. Here is a list of safe Thanksgiving foods.
Of course, you need a pet to cook, and as far as dogs are concerned, we have a dedicated service in SAFE Rescue Team. The name reminds you of a poor orphan, haggard and depressed, who appeared at the door of a happy home, with good smells and laughter everywhere. "Please take me in," the creature's liquid eyes pleaded.
I was choked by my own stupidity, but this is what the dog experienced in this rescue. SAFE stands for "Rescue Animals from Euthanasia", bringing dogs that no one wants in the last few days of the shelter to the shelter and placing them in foster caregivers who will show them what a real home means . Please invite one to go home for the holidays. They may not want to leave, this is the idea. Check the Rescue Facebook page and if you see the perfect permanent tenant, please complete the adoption application here. Foster care is also needed.
Julie is a 10-year-old Yorkie mixed breed who received a medical exemption from a shelter. Julie was infected with dry eyes. Her eyes are much better now, and she will remove the breast lumps in a few days. As you can see, she has received her veterinary care, but she is ready to recover. This little girl would sit on the sofa at home-by the way, this is her favorite place-feed the turkey by hand. Julie loves food, other dogs, people and children, and is the cutest old man ever. November is the month of adopting senior pets, and Josie is a great way to cultivate or adopt gratitude.
Cricket is a one-year-old Chi hybrid who was rescued after severe mange and loss of all hair. She looks much better now. Cricket is a sweet love bug. He likes people, children and other dogs.

Cricket will spend Thanksgiving with her adoptive mother, if she comes to your house, she will love all the food!
Butterscotch is just a 4 month old baby. This little Chiweenie is a little survivor rescued from a local shelter, where he may have been euthanized. Cute little girls are cute and playful, love children and lovers! This baby will eat turkey and peas at the children's table to increase his weight!
Reese, a mixed terrier puppy, is another small survivor who was rescued from a local shelter again, where he is in danger of being euthanized. Only 2 months old, he is playful, sweet, gentle and absolutely adorable! He loves everything and everyone! Reese can only eat turkey on Thanksgiving this year, and because he is still a child, he has all been chopped off.
