Healthy Thanksgiving Treats for Your Pup

Safe, festive, and delicious ways to include your dog in the holiday feast.

Thanksgiving is all about good food, family, and gratitude… and of course, our dogs are part of the family too!
But many traditional Thanksgiving dishes contain ingredients that are unsafe for dogs — butter, sugar, salt, onions, garlic, fatty meats, and rich desserts.

The good news?
There are plenty of healthy, dog-safe ways to treat your pup during the holiday season.

Here are our favorite wholesome, guilt-free, and tail-wagging Thanksgiving treats your dog can enjoy safely!


1. Turkey (Plain & Unseasoned) 🦃

Turkey can be a fantastic source of lean protein for dogs, as long as it’s plain.

✔ Safe for dogs:

  • Plain roasted turkey

  • No skin

  • No seasoning

  • No gravy

❌ NOT safe:

  • Turkey skin (too fatty)

  • Bones (dangerous to chew)

  • Stuffing (usually contains onions + garlic)

If you want an even healthier option…
Try our Turkey Pumpkin Jerky 🦃🎃 — a seasonal favorite made with real turkey breast and organic pumpkin.

2. Pumpkin Purée 🎃

Pumpkin is a superfood for dogs — rich in fiber, vitamins, and gentle on the stomach.

Serve plain canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling).

Benefits:

  • Supports digestion

  • Helps with constipation or loose stools

  • Low calorie

  • Naturally sweet
