It’s not Thanksgiving without turkey, so why not share some with the mongrel! But before you do, make sure you give your pup skinless turkey, because the fat content in turkey skin might upset sensitive doggie stomachs. Otherwise, turkey is a great, healthy choice for your dog. These meatballs from PetCouponSavings.com mix turkey and sweet potato so your pup gets the full Thanksgiving experience in one bite!
Paws-itively Peanutty Crudites
Busy this Thanksgiving? Of course you are! It’s the holiday season after all. These Paws-itively Peanutty Crudites are perfect for on-the-go pet parents because they’re so brilliantly simple and quick to make. Treat your doggie to veggie and fruit d’oeuvers - that is carrots, celery, and apples with a peanut butter spread.
Apple Asiago Dog Treats

Last, but not least, on this list is Apple Asiago Dog treats from Brit+Co.com. This healthy treat includes oatmeal, cheese, applesauce, and more. It’s worth noting that, while rare, some dogs are lactose intolerant, so be cautious about how much you let your fur-baby eat at first. But chances are good this will become a new favorite.
With these five delicious treat recipes, you can share your next Thanksgiving with the two-legged members of your family and the four-legged ones.

I love giving my dog sweet potato and peanut butter spoon fulls! No needs to bake or anything, just scoop up some sweet potato and some peanut butter and let them go at it. It’s super useful when you’ve gotta clip nails or apply any sort of medication they don’t like :D
