If you are anything like me I know you will want to include your dog in your Thanksgiving Day celebration. This includes Thanksgiving dinner. Since our boy Guinness has ground, lean turkey meat added to his kibble every day along with veggies, treating him to cut up Thanksgiving turkey with a little gravy seemed like a nice thing to do for him. Wrong! We noticed that each year after being "treated" to a special Thanksgiving dinner Guinness didn't feel too well. The following year we cut out the gravy and stuck to white meat. The next day Guinness became quite ill. Vomiting, diarrhea, loose stool, couldn't even hold down water. We rushed him to the Vet in a snow storm. He was x-rayed and given IV therapy for dehydration. Diagnosis? Pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis is a serious and painful inflammation of the pancreas. Cause? Most likely turkey skin. Even the white meat of the turkey can cause upset, since most Thanksgiving turkey have been marinated or basted with oils or butters.
If you want to make your dog's meal a bit special on Thanksgiving why not prepare this Turkey loaf the day before for his special meal.

I read the recipe and now I’m hungry. I’m going to make it for all of us, poopers (that’s what I call my dogs) included!
Thank you for the article, I had no idea about white meat turkey and dogs. Usually, instead of giving my dogs turkey, I give them turkey Cesars dog food. They love it.
First, I must say, I LOVE THAT PICTURE!! I am trying to feed my pup better quality, so I will look into this, thanks.
Also, remind everyone not to let their dog get the bones!!
