Thanksgiving Feast for Dogs & Cats
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked, unseasoned turkey (shredded) – Avoid skin, bones, and seasonings. Stick with lean, white meat.
- 1/2 cup plain pumpkin puree – Packed with fiber and vitamins, it’s great for digestion.
- 1/4 cup cooked, plain green beans – A crunchy, low-calorie treat for added texture.
- 1/4 cup cooked, plain sweet potatoes (mashed) – A healthy source of vitamins A and C.
- A drizzle of turkey broth (unsalted) – For added flavor and moisture.
Instructions:
- Cook the turkey, green beans, and sweet potatoes without any seasoning, butter, or oils. Let them cool completely.
- Combine the shredded turkey, pumpkin puree, green beans, and sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Add a small drizzle of unsalted turkey broth for extra flavor and mix until well combined.
- Serve in your pet’s bowl as a special Thanksgiving treat!
Important Tips:
- Skip the Seasonings: No onions, garlic, butter, or spices—they’re toxic to pets.
- Portion Control: This dish is meant to be a treat, so keep servings small to avoid upset stomachs.
- Store Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftovers and serve within 2-3 days.
Including your pets in Thanksgiving is a wonderful way to show how thankful you are for them. Whether it’s a wagging tail or a soft purr, their gratitude will shine through every bite!
