Which Thanksgiving foods are unsafe for pets?

The AVMA and the ASPCA say to keep turkey skin, fat and bones, onions, grapes and raisins, chocolate, alcohol and sugar-free sweets away from pets, and to keep the trash covered. A little plain, boneless, skinless turkey is fine, the AVMA says. If a pet eats something worrying, call your vet or a poison line.
