Be careful what table scraps you give to your dog this Thanksgiving. Many are toxic to dogs. Do your research and NO TURKEY BONES!!! WOOF
-Luckily I’m vegan so I don’t have to worry!
–Bwaaahaha, Right, Twinkle, sure you are. If you’re a vegan I’m a wolf hybrid.

No onions or broccolli either. Or chocolate. And keep animals out of the kitchen during food preparation. Gangbusters showed a small dog would be killed by a frozen turkey.
how did they prove a little dog can be killed by a frozen turkey? did they kill a dog?
Of course they didn’t! They built a model dog that had fake but accurate bones and tissue and dropped a frozen turkey on it =)
Mythbusters.
And actually EVERYBODY is at risk from Chocolate. Apparently it is a very poisonous substance. It is the amounts you have to take in order to have the same effect that varies. Apparently birds can be killed by a small fragment, dogs are affected by a large chunk, but it takes over 29lb in a single sitting in order to kill a Human. BTW Chocolate comes from the Aztecs (who used coco beans as currently) and the name means “Bitter Water”.
Enough of anything can kill a person. Who would ever eat 29 pounds at a single setting. Small amounts of dark chocolate are actually thought to be good for you. It’s the amount that’s crucial.

I think the world would be a little better if people like you stopped spreading disinformation. Next thing, you’ll be telling me how fluoride in the water is a government conspiracy.
Stoopy HP Touchpad. It autocorrected Mythbusters. Ai hates dat.
great owner, great dogs!
What a bunch of baloney. Dogs are fine eating most anything, but you gotta watch out for dark chocolate. Broccoli and turkey bones are fine for dogs. Onions won’t affect them unless they eat them regularly. You only hear this crap from people who’ve never given their dogs anything but dog food. The worst your dog will get is smelly farts.
I beg to differ on this..BONES that are brittle like chicken porkt-bone turkey are very dangeorus to a dog and humans too..they break up and leave sharp chards to travel the insides and if it punctures anything on the way down and out doggie and human is dead…it’s also hazzardous to choke on going down in the first place..
I know people who eat chicken bones as the normal way they eat chicken. They haven’t died of it yet, but I guess your pop-culture fueled opinion is worth more than facts.
Actually any cooked bird bones are bad news for dogs. You should NEVER give cooked Bird Bones to a dog, as these bones can easily shatter and cause possible choking.
[citation needed]
This is untrue. I work for a vet and any onion consumption is bad. Broccoli is okay and they will have gas that can be treated if it gets to bad. As for turkey or chicken bones they will splinter and tear a dog’s stomach or intestines. Please don’t give your pet these bones. Also any chocolate is bad for a dog. If your dog has consumed any chocolate call your vet immediately. So please do research and talk to a licensed veterinarian before giving your pet any type of people food. Thanks!
Newsflash: Veterinarians are probably worse about this than normal people because they don’t see all the dogs who don’t have problems, and people lie about what they’ve fed their pets, and they only feed their own dogs actual dog food. Of course, it is probably best to only feed them dog food, but if they eat something else once in a while, it’s not going to kill them.
Also, since you don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m going to assume you worked for a vet as a receptionist or something. In that environment, you’ll only hear what the vet tells pet owners, which is not the same as what is the truth. Owners are told what they need to hear.
Ok, so maybe chicken bones or whatever aren’t super deadly serious all of the time. You ever heard better to be safe than sorry? I’d rather never give my dog cooked chicken bones (cooked being the distinction) than there be a possible single chance of him getting sick or dying from it, even if it isn’t likely as you suggest. Also, may I have citations for you information too, as you seem to want citations from everyone else, and no “I know someone who…” doesn’t count as a citation.
grrrreat reminder! Goggies, if hoomin is fryin turkie run n hide!
Take the bag of trash outside after you throw away your turkey carcass. Last year my husbands cat pulled the bones out onto the floor and my Chihuahua got ahold of them, she was very sick and we almost lost her. She’s all better now and I have certainly learned my lesson. I think kitty was trying to “Off” my dog!
And no sage either! http://biskey7.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/holidays-and-your-pets/

Cooked bones are indeed very dangerous for most pets, and humans – they break upp into needle-like pieces and you end with a perforated esophagus, stomach or bowels. You can, however, feed cooked bones to pet rats! They grind the bones to powder with their little powerfull teeth and so are in no danger of splints. Rats can chew through concrete, iron, lead and steel, so bones are a cinch. My rats always went crazy for bones =)
With many things, like (raw) onion, nuts and chocolate, it depends on the amount given, how often the dog gets that particular food, and on the dog. Some dogs react to a very small amount while others can wolf down an entire chocolate cake and just get a tummy ache. So do be carefull.
I do, however, let my dog taste most things. A dap of whipped cream, a piece of bologny, pizza crust. I always boil a handfull of extra pasta to give to her, and I often let her lick my plate after dinner. That way she gets the taste but not the calories. And when holidays come around, like christmas, she gets apiece of roast or two – perhaps dipped in gravy
and her birthday always calls for ham and bacon =D
Timmy the dog got a plate with a taste of everything. The puppy got a little turkey and mashed potato. Kitty got some turkey too. I had to keep an eye on things though, and made sure the guests had access to the pet treats to ensure they didn’t get anything harmful.
Exactly, your dog can of course have a taste of the feast. But give them only what they can handle, both in type of food and amount.
When my mom carves the roast for christmas, the lucky doggies get all the little bits that fall. They looooove it =D
I always love the alarmists. It’s mostly crap. Dogs are basically mobile trash compactors.
I had an english bulldog once who ate about 3 square feet of sheetrock before we got to her. She pooped funny for about 36 hours but was otherwise fine.
My old Basset Hound once ate an entire 12″ Chocolate Easter Bunny. No adverse effects.
People really need to stop thinking the world is gonna end if fluffy eats a little human food. What do you think they ate before dog food was invented…?
