6 Dog Treat Recipes That Are Perfect For Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
If you’re hosting the holiday feast, you’ve got a lot going on these next couple of days. From decorating your house to last-minute food shopping (and then, of course, cooking the entire feast) you don’t have time for a lot of extra stuff right now. BUT, while you’re in the kitchen making yummy meals, why not take just a few extra minutes to whip up something special for your pooch (and any canine guests you may be hosting)?!
Or, maybe you’re a guest and looking for a great holiday hostess gift! If you’re dining with dog lovers then homemade treats wrapped in a cute mason jar or pastry box is a great idea.
The dog treat recipes on this list all feature holiday-worthy ingredients and flavors. Plus, they don’t take a long time to prep. Happy baking!
Turkey Pumpkin Gelatin Bites
These wiggly, jiggly bites offer a texture that resembles Jell-O and a flavor that screams THANKSGIVING FEAST! They’re simply lean ground turkey (a quality protein), 100% pure pumpkin purée (benefits digestion), and plain gelatin powder (great for joints, digestion, hair, skin, and nails). Along with the health benefits and tail-wagging flavor, these treats are quick and easy to throw together. Watch:
4 Ingredient Mini Doggy Meatballs
These grain-free mini meatballs for dogs are the perfect Thanksgiving treat. One of the main ingredients? Turkey! They’re also packed with sardines, almond flour, and an egg. So, they’re naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and full of beneficial nutrients. Another benefit? They’re a cinch to whip up. Watch:
Mini Turkey Loaf Muffins
Gobble, gobble … here’s another dog treat recipe where turkey is the star ingredient. While they’re similar to the dog-approved bites I just shared above, these mini muffins also feature pumpkin puree and some veggies!
Sweet Potato Puppy Muffins
These sweet potato-based bark-worthy muffins are filled with the Fall flavors many of us crave around Thanksgiving time. But the tail-wagging good taste and easy-to-chew soft texture is just the tip of the iceberg. These treats are also loaded with beneficial vitamins and minerals — thanks to the sweet potato, carrots, and spices.
Pumpkin Sweet Potato Bites
I actually came up with this gluten-free dog treat recipe a few years back around Thanksgiving. I knew my dogs would appreciate their own special, yummy snack while us humans munched on ours! Made with pumpkin, sweet potato, a little cinnamon, a splash of organic maple syrup, and a few other basic ingredients, this puppy snack is definitely a festive one.
Sweet Potato Pup Fries
As a kid, I remember thinking sweet potatoes were only in existence to live under marshmallows on Thanksgiving. Today, I love munching on them all year long. Because, along with being super tasty, they’re actually nutritious. When grocery shopping for your holiday feast, pick up an extra sweet potato and bust our your mandoline to slice um’ up into pup fries. That’s right, fries for your pup!
