Thanksgiving Leftover Puppy Pleasers!
Who says holiday leftovers are just for people? Your furry friends can enjoy them, too! If you find yourself with an abundance of leftover turkey, consider turning it into homemade meals for your pooch or irresistible treats for their friends. Just remember to remove any seasonings from the roast turkey before you get started, as some spices can be harmful to dogs.
