A NorthStar Labradoodles Thanksgiving: Gratitude + Puppy Holiday Safety Tips

From our guardian homes to yours — Happy Thanksgiving from the entire NorthStar Labradoodles family in Bend, Oregon.

This year we’re especially thankful for the 300+ families who’ve welcomed a NorthStar doodle, every guardian home that spoils our breeding dogs, and the hundreds of puppy photos that fill our inbox.

While we’re all enjoying turkey and togetherness, here are our top **Thanksgiving puppy safety tips** so your doodle stays happy and healthy:

• Skip the onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, and chocolate – all toxic to dogs
• Watch the trash – secure it or your pup will go “turkey diving”
• Keep them calm – new guests can be overwhelming; give them a quiet space with their favorite toy
• Stick to their regular feeding schedule – a plain piece of cooked turkey (no seasoning) is plenty as a treat

Quick rule of thumb: if it’s not on their normal raw or kibble menu, skip it today!

Here’s to full hearts, full bellies, and safe, wagging tails this Thanksgiving.
