[NAGDU] A Thanksgiving topic for discussion

[Sherry Gomes]

I don't give my dog an extra treat on any day, not even their birthday. My feeling is that the dog doesn't know it's a special day. That isn't to say I don't ever give my dogs treats. She gets a couple baby carrots every evening before bedtime. And I do give my dogs presents for birthdays or Christmas. I realize that makes me inconsistent from my original statement. But giving them presents is just something I like doing, though Shani isn't much of a one for playing with toys.

Subject: [NAGDU] A Thanksgiving topic for discussion

Hello everyone, first off, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates it. If you don't, I still hope you have a great day no matter what. Now, as to the topic for discussion, I would like to hear pros and cons, do's and don'ts, concerning the topic of giving your guide dog a special extra treat on thanksgiving. Whether this is a dog treat, a sweet potato, a dog breath treat, or turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, let's have some positive discussions as to why people do and don't, or whether people do or don't do this.

I can even go first. With a few dogs in the past, I have occasionally given them a small piece of turkey. However, I no longer do this, and my current guide dog does not get any. Instead, I might give him an extra sweet potato treat that I know is fine for his stomach and digestive system. Let's remember, positive discussions and no right or wrong answers here based on philosophy or beliefs.
