Hello everyone. I follow the shelter where I adopted my kitties, and they posted a graphic saying, "It's best to avoid giving turkey to pets. Meat, skin, drippings, and gravy are high in fat and even small amounts can trigger pancreatitis and can be lethal for your pet." It also talks about not feeding turkey bones, which I have heard no bones before because it is dangerous.
Is turkey meat not okay though? I was completely surprised because there are so many canned and dry foods with turkey, and no one on here has mentioned it, so I'm questioning the validity of the shelters post...
I did buy an already cooked chicken from the deli section and was planning on giving me kitties some of the meat (no skin). Assuming most of the ingredients listed are applied over the skin, but ingredients listed are up to 18% solution of water, salt, sodium phosphates, brown sugar, dextrose, carrageenan.... (Why does everything have sugar added to it??? This is why I try so hard not to have prepared or processed food, ugh, LoL. But it's Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I want Thanksgiving traditional food *sigh*). It feels funny to ask this because I wouldn't normally eat it myself on a typical day now looking at the ingredients, and now I'm questioning if I want to feed it to my cats, haha, but is this chicken safe to feed the kitties as a snack?
