While your fur-babies might be begging for food at the Thanksgiving table, it’s important to know that many of the savory items on the list are deemed toxic and unsafe for dogs to eat.

It may come as no surprise that many Americans consider their pets to be members of their family. And with Thanksgiving nearly upon us, it's important to know what food scraps dogs can and can't have.

Some foods like plain turkey and sweet potatoes are OK for pets to consume in moderation on the holiday. Desserts and poultry bones should be kept away from furry friends.

While some foods from the Thanksgiving holiday spread such as turkey, carrots and apple are safe for dogs, others such as pie can be harmful for them.

If you have pets around the house for Thanksgiving, it's important to remember the food we eat is not necessarily safe for animals.
