Thanksgiving is a holiday full of overindulgence and sweet and savory treats. You might be in the giving mood and want to share with your pet, but not everything in your cornucopia is safe for your dog or cat.

Here are some safe treats for your furry family member (information provided by Pet Health Network).

TURKEY

Of course Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without turkey and your fur-babies can have some too, unless you have certain breeds. "Keep in mind that certain breeds such as Miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, and Shetland Sheepdogs are especially predisposed to pancreatitis, so meat snacks are a big no-no in these three breeds," according to Pet Health Network.

Just be sure to avoid fatty parts that can cause pancreatitis (like the skin), bones that can cause major damage to your pet's insides and any string around the bird that can cause an obstruction in your pet. Thanksgiving should be full of food, football and family - not a trip to the doggy ER!

VEGGIES

Most vegetables are a suitable snack for dogs, as long as they don't have gravy or butter on them. If you give your pup or puss some sweet potato, make sure the marshmallow topping doesn't contain a sugar-substitute, like zylitol.

And with all snacks, moderation is super important. Too much of a good thing can cause gastroenteritis - you'll spend your holiday cleaning up after a vomiting dog with diarrhea.

BREAD

Your canine doesn't have to go low-carb on the day of thanks. A small piece of bread is OK, but be sure to keep unbaked dough away from Fido. "If accidentally ingested by dogs, the yeast and sugar can result in carbon dioxide and ethanol formation in your dog's stomach; this can result in secondary hypoglycemia (e.g., low blood sugar), bloat and even alcohol poisoning," according to Pet Health Network.

SMOKED SALMON

If you have a fishy appetizer, you can sneak some to your favorite furball, as long as it isn't swimming in a fatty sauce.

CHEESE

Oh, who doesn't love cheese? A small amount is fine for your pet. Dogs and cats are lactose-intolerant (not sure who started that pesky rumor about kitties and their saucers of milk), but cheese only has a smidge.
