The rest of the family is going to enjoy a yummy holiday meal, so what about your dog? Can they have a special meal, too? Every dog should limit the amount of people food they eat, but if your dog has kidney issues, it is especially important to restrict what they eat. We’ve created a list of holiday food no-no’s and a list of possible healthy alternatives, as long as your veterinarian approves.
