Don’t forget to check out the Thanksgiving pet safety tips from both last year and this year, especially on feeding dogs bones.

There’s also the National Dog Show today after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC, and check out the after Thanksgiving pet sales at online pet stores like Petsmart and Petco.
