Lol, yes just go easy on the potatoes! Bless him, my Georgie will have a big Christmas dinner too, but I bought him a nice big lamb shank, (that'll keep him busy!) so he can stay out of my way whilst I open all my pressies!!!!

Solanum alkaloids can be found in green potato sprouts and green potato skins, which occur when the tubers are exposed to sunlight during growth or after harvest. The occurrence of actual poisoning is due to several factors: solanine is poorly absorbed; it is mostly hydrolyzed into less toxic solanidinel; and the metabolites are quickly eliminated. Cooked, mashed potatoes are fine for dogs, actually quite nutritious and digestible

I'll second that! Kali and Snorri are both partial to a bit of cooked tattie in their nosh, particularly if it has a wee bit of beef gravy mixed in! It seems to supply extra tailwag power!

At Christmas ours always get a xmas dinner of their own, the same as us, so everything in moderation i just fine, as long as it's cooked properly, there are no bones or stuffing and no sneaky chocolates or alcohol, to keep them safe !

Ours love their Xmas dinner and why shouldn't they

Cooked potatoes (in moderation) are fine unless your dog is arthritic as they can aggravate it. My gang will also be getting a mini Christmas dinner each

I was advised to be careful with the gravy as depending on how you make it it can have loads of additives which can cause reactions.This was after Fudge`s lumps when she was a puppy.
