According to the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, it is important to avoid foods that are seasoned with onions, garlic or spices. Especially avoid foods that have chocolate or artificial sweeteners like xylitol. These are the Thanksgiving foods your cat or dog can have, according to the HSTPC:

It's Thanksgiving, a special holiday that brings family and friends together, but it also can bring some hazards for pets.

Thanksgiving can be a busy day for emergency veterinarians. Pet owners show up for treatment of issues ranging from food poisoning to injuries stemming from fights with other pets brought to a family party.
