🐶 Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Dogs

We know Thanksgiving is all about family, food, and giving thanks — but here are a few quick tips to help keep your pup’s holiday safe and tail-waggin’ good!

🍗 1. No turkey bones, please!

Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. Stick to their favorite dog-safe chews instead.

🥧 2. Skip the pie for the pups

Many holiday desserts contain xylitol, raisins, or chocolate — all toxic to dogs. A small spoonful of plain pumpkin purée makes a festive (and safe) treat!

🍞 3. Beware of bread dough

Unbaked dough expands in a dog’s stomach — definitely not the kind of “stuffing” we want them to have.

🍽️ 4. Watch those guests

With friends and family coming and going, make sure doors and gates stay closed. It only takes a second for a curious pup to go exploring!

🕯️ 5. Keep calm and cuddle on

Loud gatherings or travel can be overwhelming. Give your dog a cozy space with their bed or favorite toy where they can relax.

From our pack to yours — we’re endlessly thankful for your trust, your support, and the joyful pups who make Dog Dude Ranch feel like home.

Here’s to full hearts, full bellies, and wagging tails. Happy Thanksgiving! 🐾💛
