A turkey or ham with all the trimmings will grace many dinner tables this Christmas. It is natural to share the feast with your family pet. After all, he is family. Make sure you offer a tasty delight
and not a tummy ache. Your pet can enjoy some holiday favorites. Others can upset his stomach or worse. Put together a scrumptious healthy feast for your pet. Avoid foods on the do-not-share list.
Many holiday favorites can lead to severe gastrointestinal upset or to an emergency trip to the vet. Don't share turkey skin or bones, fatty ham, nutmeg, sage, grapes, macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, onions, shallots, garlic, raisins, chocolate or alcohol. Be aware of foods that are hidden ingredients in some of your delectable dishes. There are goodies that you can safely put in your pet's food bowl.
Spices in your pumpkin pie are not good for your dog. Surprise him with his own Pumpkin Pie Cookies.
Puppy Pumpkin Pie Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 jar of orange baby food with pumpkin – I used just carrot, corn, & pumpkin
- Approximately ½ to ¾ cup - or a bit more - of flour – I used rice flour but any will do
- Water as/if needed
- Frozen peas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Empty baby food into mixing bowl
- Add flour a few tablespoons at a time to form firm dough – amount depends on baby food
- Water if needed – if dough gets too thick, add a bit of water to get desired consistency
- Roll dough into small balls and place on lined baking sheet
- Gently flatten balls with finger tips
- Use a fork of knife to make the pumpkin lines
- Push a frozen pea into each cookie for a stem
- Bake 15 minutes
