Turkey-Cranberry Meatballs are the perfect Thanksgiving treat for dogs

Hoomans and doggos, everyone loves to indulge in a tasty Thanksgiving treat (or more)! Unfortunately, not all Thanksgiving foods are safe for dogs. Below, we share a recipe that dogs won’t be able to get enough of this Thanksgiving.

While we love sharing leftovers with our pups at home (sometimes under the table), it’s not always safe to do so. On Thanksgiving, even if there is enough to go around, let’s keep the safety of our pups in mind.

Earlier this month, Dog o’ Day shared which Halloween candy and treats are safe to give dogs. The answers may seem obvious (no chocolate, yes to Starburst), but it’s always best to double-check! Now we’re bringing you not only a great Thanksgiving recommendation. but a very tasty one.

Pet Central shared a recipe for Turkey-Cranberry Meatballs and they are guaranteed to have your pup thank you with 100 kisses.
