Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
5. Fishy Feast for Finned Friends
Don’t let your fishy friends miss out on the Thanksgiving celebrations! While you can’t prepare a turkey feast for your fish, consider upgrading their meal with a special treat.

Create a mini smorgasbord and watch your fish enjoy their Thanksgiving indulgence.
With these mouthwatering pet-friendly Thanksgiving feast ideas, you’ll ensure that every member of your family, including the furry, feathered, and finned, can partake in the holiday joy.
