Holiday tables can be super tempting for dogs. They’re full of smells, excitement, and food that definitely isn’t meant for them. But every year, dogs across the country manage to pull off the same holiday dinner heists. Here are the top 5 most commonly stolen foods from the table:

1. Turkey (especially the skin): The main event on the holiday table and tough for dogs to digest, the #1 holiday heist item.

2. Rolls and breads: Soft, easy to grab, and often stolen the moment someone looks away.

3. Desserts: Cookies, pies, and anything sweet feel like treasure to curious noses. Chocolate and some sweeteners can be dangerous.

4. Cheese plates: Especially soft cheeses that can be swiped in one quick move.

5. Ham and other cured meats: The salty and flavorful qualities make it impossible for dogs to resist.

A little prevention goes a long way: keep serving platters centered, give dogs a distraction like a chew, and remind well-meaning guests to resist slipping snacks under the table. Plus, always have a backup plan in case your dog does get hold of something they shouldn’t.

The goal? A happy holiday with zero emergency vet visits and zero missing dinner rolls.

If you’re shopping for a dog lover this holiday season, skip the novelty toys and give a gift that actually matters: peace of mind. Every pet parent knows the fear—dogs getting into chocolate, grapes, human medications, or even THC by mistake. It happens fast, and until recently, there wasn’t much you could do at home.

That’s why veterinarians created ReadyRESCUE™, the first-of-its-kind emergency tool for accidental pet poisonings. Using clean, easy-to-give activated carbon spheres, ReadyRESCUE™ works by rapidly binding toxins in the stomach and intestines to help limit absorption into the bloodstream. It’s simple to mix with food or yogurt and can be given immediately while heading to the vet.

This holiday, give the gift every dog home should have on hand—a little lifesaving readiness.
