How to avoid this?  I would recommend leaving your pet in your bedroom or the garage, where they don’t have the opportunity to get all of these extra treats.  This may sound mean, but its better to have your pet healthy than happy in this case.  Otherwise at the end of your night, your dog is going to be so full he won’t know what to do with himself- and all of the food your serving your guests is much too fatty and inappropriate for your pet as it is.

Hopefully this will help you have a healthy and happy holiday weekend with your family, friends, and your pets!
