Here's What Not To Feed Your Pet This Thanksgiving

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – There's a two-word reason man's best friend loves Thanksgiving.

Table scraps.

But there are some things that dog owners shouldn't slip their pets.

Turkey bones are a big one. The bones can splinter, causing choking, or tearing in their intestinal tracts.

Chewing a bone does help dental issues, but it's better to buy something nylon-based.

Raw meat can also cause issues, as it can carry bacteria that's harmful to your pet's digestive system.

Experts say onions and garlic can also cause nasty reactions, so avoid giving pets foods that have been seasoned.

Grapes and raisins contain a toxin that can cause kidney failure in dogs.

Macadamia nuts can cause vomiting, tremors and even depression.

You hear this one a lot, but chocolate is bad for dogs, especially dark chocolate.
