10 Thanksgiving foods you should never give your dog
#5 – Sugar
While sweet potatoes, yams, and pumpkin can actually be beneficial for our dogs, it’s important to remember that sugar is most definitely harmful. Candied yams and pumpkin pie should never be shared with your pup, as sugar will likely cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Long-term sugar consumption brings the same results as that in humans – tooth decay, obesity, and diabetes.
