When preparing your Christmas dinner, you may be tempted to set aside a special treat for your dog as well. Turkey, cooked or raw vegetables, and fruit make great holiday dog treats.
Do not feed your dog bird bones, chocolate, food with lots of herbs and spice, uncooked dough, grapes, raisins, currants, sultanas, or fruits with pips.
When dishing up holiday treats for dogs, we recommend keeping track of size and moderation. Cut up vegetables and meat into bite-sized pieces to prevent choking and restrict intake to small amounts, no matter how they beg. Too many holiday treats can cause discomfort or even be harmful.
