A dog’s dinner!

If you want to give your dog some Christmas

dinner leftovers as a little treat,

here’s what’s safe and

what’s not.

TURKEY

A little bit of turkey

breast, which is lower

in fat than thigh

meat, is fi ne for your

dog to eat. Make

sure you remove all

fat, skin, and bones

from the meat fi rst.

PIGS IN

BLANKETS

These will not

harm your dog, but

they are generally

considered to be

too fatty and salty

for dogs to eat

in quantity.

STUFFING

As it contains

a mixture of

breadcrumbs,

onions, spices,

and herbs,

stuffi ng is best

avoided as

it can cause

stomach upsets.

CRANBERRY SAUCE

Your dog isn’t likely to be desperate to

get his paws on the cranberry sauce,

but it’s fi ne for him to eat if there’s a bit

on the turkey meat.

GRAVY

Although it’s very tasty and most

dogs would love to lick gravy off

your plate, avoid feeding it to your

pet as it’s high in salt and fat.

VEGETABLES

Although you need

to avoid feeding bulb

vegetables to your

dog, carrots, peas,

and Brussels sprouts

are fi ne for your dog

to eat.

ROAST

POTATOES

Potatoes are

OK to feed your

dog, if given

in moderation.

However, it’s

best to avoid

mashed potato

if it contains

lots of milk and

butter, as neither

are good for

your dog.
