We believe all animals deserve love and care this Christmas, and at every time of the year, which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/thortful-x-rspca-christmas-card-collaboration\/\">thortful has partnered with the RSPCA<\/a> to support its winter rescue campaign.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center; outline: none;\">As part of this, we\u2019ve created a lovely little compendium of Christmas treats for dogs, cats, rabbits and more \u2014 so when you\u2019re tucking into your second helping of pigs in blankets, you don\u2019t have to feel bad for your sad-eyed furry friend, moping in the corner, staring longingly at the meal on the table.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Christmas is a time for joy and spending time together as a family, but we know that this year is going to be harder for a lot of families as they deal with the cost-of-living crisis. So why not get everyone into the kitchen and make some treats for your furry friend yourself? On the menu, we\u2019ve got nibbles, tea time favourites, and plenty of yummy festive Christmas treats for dogs, cats, and other pets too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

But what can and can\u2019t animals eat? Keep your pets and local wildlife safe and well-fed this Christmas <em>and<\/em> make the most of your leftovers by learning which parts of your Christmas dinner are safe for them to eat.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Turkey <\/strong>\u2013 The staple and centrepiece of a Christmas dinner, you can feed a little leftover turkey to your dogs and cats as long as it has been de-boned, and no gravy has been poured over it.<\/li><li><strong>Pig in blankets<\/strong> \u2013 While you might think pigs in blankets are safe for pets, being made from processed meats means they\u2019re not suitable for animals as they have high salt and fat content.<\/li><li><strong>Stuffing <\/strong>\u2013 Unfortunately, due to being high in salt and other artificial ingredients, stuffing isn\u2019t animal friendly. Any leftovers should be eaten by yourself (that\u2019s what leftover sandwiches on Boxing Day are for).<\/li><li><strong>Brussels sprouts<\/strong> \u2013 Love them or hate them, Brussels sprouts are a quintessential part of a traditional Christmas dinner \u2013 but if you\u2019re not a fan, you can leave any unwanted sprouts out for badgers and foxes to enjoy.<\/li><li><strong>Carrots <\/strong>\u2013 Leftover carrots can be fed to dogs, and foxes and badgers also enjoy nibbling on carrots. Maybe that\u2019s why these critters can see in the dark so well!<\/li><li><strong>Peas<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019ve got any leftover peas on your plate, these can be left out for badgers and foxes.<\/li><li><strong>Potatoes<\/strong> \u2013 Whether you prefer your potatoes boiled, roasted, baked or mashed, birds and badgers will also enjoy feasting on them around Christmas day too.<\/li><\/ul><p>And of course, no Christmas dinner is complete without a little something for afterwards, but which of our favourite post-Christmas dinner snacks and leftovers can be given to our pets or other animals?<\/p><ul><li><strong>Christmas cake and mince pies<\/strong> \u2013 So long as your Christmas cake or mince pies are made with unsweetened pastry then there\u2019s no problem in
