As Thanksgiving approaches in the COVID-19 pandemic remember that your dogs can contract COVID-19. Buddy a 7 yo German Shepherd contracted COVID-19 from his owner in Statin Island NY and died June 11, 2020.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is zoonotic (spreads between species like humans, dogs, bats etc). The CDC has excellent guidelines for you and your pup staying safe in this pandemic ESPECIALLY when going to vet.
Keep your “Buddy out of harm’s way!

In reply to Jennifer. Thank you for the info. I'll take avocados off the list. Opinion is divided on whether or not garlic is toxic. I know it's ok in small amounts but large amounts can be toxic.

Contrary to the widespread belief, garlic and avocados are not *dangerous* for dogs. The avocado PIT is – not the fruit – and numerous studies have been done to show there are actually benefits to garlic but the results and research are still being debated. I highly doubt that Avoderm brand dog food, which contains avocado, would be allowed to be sold in such a widespread manner if it contained toxic ingredients. 🙁
