Exactly. The Vets see a lot of pancreatitis at Thanksgiving due to dogs receiving more than their fair share of ham. Also the high salt along with the fat is thought to promote the occurance of pancreatitis.

As Karen points out a few trimmings won't hurt. Mine end up getting a few snibbles of Turkey at Thanksgiving, along with their main stay dry puppy food.
