Must Love Pekes is a blog for those who love Pekingese -- their looks, their antics, their personalities. It is written by me, Linda, and I have been rescuing Pekingese for over 20 years. Lots of them have come through our home. We have loved them all.

THANKSGIVING AND DOGS
Remember, do NOT give Thanksgiving turkey or other holiday foods to your pets unless you want a sick dog and a visit to the emergency vet clinic. Turkey and other things can lead to pancreatitis and other ailments and you don't want those. Be safe-- just dog food for dogs. If you insist on turkey for them, just buy one and let them chase it around the yard. :-)

Happy Turkey Day USA ....... mind you - if you bought one of those turkeys for your pekes to chase around like Linda suggested - its not going to be a happy day for them! LOL
It was a July 4th picnic that my Daytona had too much fun licking up everyone's plates that landed him in the ER with pancreatitis so this is a very real issue. Now he only gets steamed veggie people treats, no meats other than what's in his dog food. And pancreatitis takes about 3 days to present as a medical emergency so you'll see them in the ER's around Sunday.
It's been 8 years since that fateful picnic and you can still see his blood work is off a bit from it and he had a pretty mild case. Just don't do it.
