As people with human families who love to come together for Thanksgiving, sometimes we forget that our dogs may not be as thrilled about having a house full of people they don’t know very well.  Our routines change, there are people coming and going, there is food and drink all over the house, etc. etc.  And, of course, our dogs are opportunists and will help themselves to any unattended food or drink that they can get ahold of.  Some of your guests may not be used to having dogs around and don’t really think about leaving their food and drinks where dogs can get to them.  They probably don’t realize that some of the foods that we love so much for Thanksgiving can really make our dogs sick or worse, be fatal.
