Thanksgiving is almost here, and the countdown to the best food day of the year has officially begun. Your home will soon be filled with the comforting smell of roasting bird, simmering gravy, and pies cooling on the counter. And of course, your pets will be right there in the middle of it all. Your dog will be stationed under the table like a self-appointed crumb inspector, while your cat will pretend not to care—even though they’ve already mapped out the perfect angle to swipe a piece of turkey the moment you turn your head.

But in the middle of all this holiday excitement, it’s easy to realize you’ve forgotten something important. Maybe your dog’s favorite chew toy has mysteriously vanished (likely buried in the backyard), or your cat has decided they only eat one specific brand of treats—naturally, the one you ran out of. Or maybe you just forgot a key ingredient for your stuffing or gravy. Whatever it is, you may end up wondering: “Is Dollar General open on Thanksgiving Day?”
