Thanksgiving Isn’t Just for Humans: 10 Dog-Friendly Recipes Your Pup Will Gobble Up

With Thanksgiving in less than a week, you may be planning the perfect meal for your family and friends. Now, like many dog owners, I consider my canine companion my best friend and, quite frankly, my favorite family member. She is also what I am most thankful for. 

Unfortunately, because she’s a dog and has a dog’s sensitive stomach, she’ll be unable to partake in Thanksgiving dinner. However, I don’t want her to feel left out even in the slightest. For this reason, I will be making her very own Thanksgiving food, made from dog-friendly ingredients that she can scarf down while the rest of my guests are giving thanks. 

Here are a few recipes I am considering trying out this Thanksgiving. 

If you are thinking of trying out any of these Thanksgiving recipes for your furry friend, please consult with your pup’s vet before adding anything new to their diet!
