A little turkey is OK for dogs if you watch out for small bones (and avoid the fat and skin.)
When serving the turkey, be very careful that no bites with little bones in them get given to your doggy. Roasted bird bones are especially brittle and dangerous. So, if you do feed your dog a little turkey, make sure you cut across the grain to make sure no bones are embedded in the meat. Beware the dark meat (the part dogs like most) – those drumsticks are filled with sharp bones. And never, ever give your dog the cooked carcass to finish off, no matter how big he is. Nothing could be more dangerous for your dog to eat. Helen Fazio and her dog Raja are world travelers. Click here to visit their blog, and click here to follow them on Twitter. |
