[NAGDU] A Thanksgiving topic for discussion

[Isabel Rosario]

Happy Thanksgiving!
I personally give my dog a few pieces of shredded boiled chicken. He has a
pretty sensitive stomach so I make sure there is no seasoning and I
specifically make it for him and my pet dog.
I know there has been some talk about not feeding dogs table scraps, so
what I do is put a few pieces of chicken in his food bowl or I will Shred
the boiled chicken up and put it in a special bowl. I make sure not to feed
him anywhere near the table and he knows it is a special treat only on
certain occasions.
