Can dogs have skinless turkey breast mixed with kibble for Thanksgiving?

Just turkey breast meat should be able to dissolve in the stomach without much trouble. Very large quantities of any food can be uncomfortable until they are digested. If there are bones in it, it could cause irritation to the gut as it travels. If there was fat in it, it could lead to pancreatitis a few hours up to a few days after ingestion. I would continue to monitor Lita's appetite and for vomiting and/or diarrhea. If anything is still of in a day or two, she should get checked out by a vet.

Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The occasional small piece of turkey deli meat as a treat is unlikely to do any harm. But I would still monitor for any signs of GI upset (like vomiting or diarrhea) and stop giving the turkey if any GI signs occur. I would also suggest only giving small amounts of the deli meat especially if your dog is a smaller dog. Giving too much could end up causing diarrhea, vomiting or in severe cases, pancreatitis.

A smoked turkey leg might have more sodium than a regular leg, but I think it would be okay to give the meat (no bone) or the broth as long as your dog doesn't have any food allergies or sensitivities.

Ground turkey (cooked and drained) mixed with equal parts of plain, white rice would be better. One teaspoon of plain pumpkin (NOT pie filling) can be mixed into the food to provide extra fiber. Too much pumpkin may cause stomach upset.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is because usually the stuffing and dressing are very rich with a high fat amount which can result in gastrointestinal upset as well as pancreatitis possibly. There are also a lot of ingredients that are used commonly in these such as garlic and onions which are toxic to dogs. Have a good night!

Happy Thanksgiving! You give give him fish oil tablets which will be a great source of omega-3 for him. For every 30 pounds of body weight, give him 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined. I hope this helps!

Not really toxic or dangerous, but do expect some gastrointestinal ''side effects'' as vomiting episodes and diarrhoea. If the turkey pieces were not too warm, you should not notice anything else. I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if you notice any diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
