Why Thanksgiving Meal Toppers Are Good for Dogs

Safe, Nutritious, and Carefully Monitored at BFFE in Cockeysville and Joppa, MD

The holiday season brings an abundance of rich foods and nonstop activity, which can create serious health risks for dogs—especially when it comes to unsafe table scraps, high-fat dishes, dropped holiday foods, and the increased risk of pancreatitis that often follows these indulgent meals. At Best Friends Furever in Cockeysville and Joppa, we offer safely curated Thanksgiving Meal Toppers designed to give dogs a healthy, festive experience during their holiday boarding stay. Each ingredient is selected for its nutritional benefits and prepared in a way that keeps dogs safe, supported, and comfortable.

For many Maryland families, holiday gatherings make it difficult to prevent counter-surfing, food sneaking, or exposure to harmful ingredients. During your dog’s stay with us, they receive 24/7 supervision, and every food item we offer is carefully portioned, monitored, and documented. You receive updates so you always know how your dog is eating, resting, and enjoying their time with us.

Our holiday toppers feature dog-friendly superfoods chosen not only for their seasonal appeal, but because they actively support digestive health, immunity, and overall well-being.

Green Beans: Low-Calorie Crunch With Digestive Support

Green beans are a naturally low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable that supports healthy digestion. At our Cockeysville and Joppa resorts, we prepare green beans plain—never seasoned—so your dog enjoys the fiber and nutrients without the heavy fats or oils found in traditional holiday dishes.

Cranberries: Antioxidants and Urinary Tract Support

Cranberries offer powerful antioxidant benefits and help support urinary health. Our team serves cranberries in safe, dog-appropriate portions without added sugars, making them a safe alternative to sugary cranberry sauces typically served at Maryland holiday tables.

Turkey: Lean, Digestible Protein for Energy

Turkey is an excellent source of high-quality protein. At our Cockeysville and Joppa dog boarding resorts, we prepare turkey plain, fully cooked, and free of skin or fat. This provides dogs with a digestible protein option without the stomach upset caused by seasoned or greasy holiday turkey.

Pumpkin: Gentle Digestion and Balanced Nutrition

Pumpkin is a highly effective digestive aid for dogs, offering natural fiber that supports firm stools and soothes sensitive stomachs. Rich in vitamins A, E, and C, pumpkin contributes to immune support and overall wellness. Our pumpkin is served plain and dog-safe—never sweetened or spiced.

A Curated, Safe Holiday Dining Experience for Your Dog

All four ingredients are intentionally selected to create a balanced, nutritious Thanksgiving Meal Topper that supports health, digestion, and energy. At Best Friends Fur Ever, we specialize in curating seasonal treats that deliver real health benefits, not just festive flavor.
