Thanksgiving

It's no secret that dogs are often considered a part of the family. With their loyalty, companionship, and affectionate nature, it's no wonder that many owners would love to include their furry friends in their Thanksgiving celebrations. However, before you pull up a chair for your pooch at the dinner table, there are a few things to consider.

While it may be tempting to share your Thanksgiving feast with your dog, it's important to remember that not all human foods are safe for pets. Many traditional Thanksgiving dishes, such as stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes, are often high in fat and can cause digestive upset or even pancreatitis in dogs. Additionally, foods like onions, garlic, and chocolate can be toxic to dogs and should be avoided.

That being said, there are plenty of ways to include your dog in your Thanksgiving celebrations without risking their health.

Even though, the stereotypical family Thanksgiving dinner includes a dog begging for scraps. While it seems cute it could be deadly for your doggo. If you want your pup to enjoy the food like everyone else, here are the foods you can make safe to eat that won’t upset their tummies according to Little Things.

Here are the "safest" foods for dogs at Thanksgiving!

  • Pure Mashed Potatoes. Common ingredients like garlic and dairy are no-good for your pup's digestive tract, according to the ASPCA. Excessive amounts of salt are also a big no-no
  • Yeast Dough. Only give them a tiny piece of a roll, not the whole thing
  • Green Bean Casserole. The onion can do serious damage to Fido as can some added spices. Skip this
  • Stuffing. Another hard pass for your pup. It can be toxic
  • Pumpkin pie. Skip the spices and give them pumpkin puree instead (not canned pumpkin pie filling)
  • Turkey. Dogs can have just a tiny bit, but with no bones or seasonings.

And I am officially doing the wrong thing with my life. Yes, I post occasionally on TikTok but I've yet to make a penny off of that. But if you're doing it correctly, you can be making a pretty penny. And one of the most popular types of accounts on the social media platform? Dogs. There are tons of dog influencers on TikTok and many of them are quite successful. The hashtag "dog" has a whopping 413.8 billion views with #dogsofTikTok and #dogs each having well over 100 billion views as well. That's a billion with b. But more important in the world of influencers than views is engagement rates (likes, comments, shares, etc) which these canines are also racking up.

Our friends at Pet Portraits conducted a study on the most financially successful dog influencers on TikTok. And yeah, I'm in the completely wrong career field. These dogs are racking up what I make in a week in one post. To come up with these dollar amounts Printed Pet Memories used an Influencer Marketing Calculator (didn't know that existed) to figure out what they can earn per sponsored TikTok post. Anyone have a dog I can borrow? Keep reading to see who the most successful dog influencers are, a cute video of them, as well as what they can bring in per post.
