Speaker 2 (00:25):
Hi. This is the My Smart Puppy Minute with Sarah Wilson.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, a day
of friends and family joining together to enjoy each other
and a feast. Our dogs are part of this day.
It is normal to want to share some of your
bounty with your canine companion, but to avoid problems, follow

(00:47):
these simple guidelines. Skip the stuffing. Many of us think
that sharing a little stuffing with our dogs is no
big deal.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Right wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Both onions and raisins, common ingredients in this Thanksgiving stay,
are toxic for dogs. And all the butter in most stuffings, well,
that's my next warning. Cut the fat, the gravy, and
the butter. Pancreatitis as serious must go to the blessed
but incredibly expensive animal er. Vet affliction spikes during this

(01:19):
Thanksgiving week with all the licking of greasy roasting pans,
stealing of sticks of butter off counters, and sharing of
high fat goodies. When I share this day with Pip
and I will I'll be sticking to small amounts of
lean roasted meat, plain green beans, and a bit of
plain baked sweet potato. She'll love it all. Want to
know what's safe for your companion? Ask your veterinarian. Last,

(01:42):
but not least, chocolate. I love chocolate, and I adore
dark chocolate. The darker the better. My stash is stored
above the microwave, well out of Pip's reach. Treat chocolate
for what it is, a dangerous substance for your dog.
The darker, the more dangerous it is. Keep it away
from your dog, or keep your dog away from it

(02:05):
when it is being served. If despite all good efforts
and intentions, your dog gets into something he shouldn't, the
ASPCA Poison Control Line is there twenty four hours a day,
three hundred and sixty five days a year to help.
The number is eight eight eight four two six four
four three five again eight eight eight four two six

(02:29):
forty four thirty five. Have some questions, Come to our

friends of both the two legged and four legged variety.
