While enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, it’s tough to not share table scraps with our adorable four-footed family members.

But some traditional Thanksgiving dishes can be dangerous for your dog. Veterinarian Eva Evans from Pets Best provided this list of foods to avoid giving your dog this holiday.

1- Ham: Pork products can result in vomiting, diarrhea and even pancreatitis, which causes other digestive problems.

2- Stuffing: Onions and garlic are extremely toxic to dogs, according to Dr. Evans. Since these items are included in most stuffing recipes, you should avoid giving any amount to pets.

3- Mashed potatoes: If it’s made with onion powder or garlic, don’t give it to your dog. Many dogs are also lactose intolerance so the milk and butter in mashed potatoes can cause diarrhea.

4- Turkey bones: Aside from a choking risk, turkey bones can splinter and cause damage to the stomach and intestines. The bones can give our furry friends severe indigestion.

5- Anything chocolate: This may seem like a no-brainer for experienced dog owners. But you may want to remind guests not to give animals a taste of chocolate desserts.
