Homemade Holiday Dog Treats

Healthy Recipes to Get Your Dog’s Tail Wagging

It’s tempting to spoil our dogs with tasty treats, especially during the holiday season. So why not whip up a batch yourself using healthy, wholesome ingredients?

Making healthy dog treats can be as simple or complex as you want. But the best part? You can use leftovers or basic ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. Not only is this a fun and festive project, but it will leave your favorite pooch licking their lips for more!

Before getting started, make sure to avoid ingredients that are toxic to dogs. These items can vary from xylitol, chocolate, and raisins, to certain kinds of nuts. Play it safe and check this list or stick to recipes designed for dogs from trusted resources.

Personally, our new favorite holiday recipes come from Best Friends Animal Society®. Whether you want to whip up their mini pumpkin pies, peanut butter “pupcakes,” a nutritious and crunchy classic – or all three! – you’ll end up with a healthy treat your dog will love.
