🎄 Safe Holiday Treats for Dogs: Keep Your Pup Happy This Season 🐾
The holidays are a magical time, with twinkling lights, cozy blankets, and kitchens filled with the delicious scents of the season. And your dog? They are right there, hoping for a festive bite from the table.
As a loving dog parent, you want to share the holiday joy with your furry friend without worrying about upset tummies or unsafe foods. That is where Pawtitas comes in. We are here to guide you with easy, safe ways to include your dog in the seasonal fun.
🚫 Holiday Foods to Keep Away from Your Dog
Not every holiday treat is safe for dogs. Some popular goodies can cause discomfort or other problems if eaten. Here are the foods to keep out of reach:
- Chocolate, even small pieces from candy bowls
- Fruit cakes and mince pies with raisins or dried fruit
- Sage and onion stuffing, a no-go for pups
- Foods high in fat, salt, or heavy seasonings
- Cooked bones can splinter and get stuck
- Blue cheese and macadamia nuts
- Alcohol and moldy leftovers
Even a tiny nibble of these can upset your dog’s tummy, so it is safest to avoid them.
🐶 Holiday-Friendly Foods Your Dog Can Enjoy
The good news? Your dog can join in the holiday fun safely. Try these dog-friendly treats:
- Plain cooked turkey, skip the skin and bones
- Steamed veggies, carrots and green beans are a favorite
- Plain mashed sweet potato, soft, sweet, and festive
💡 Tip: Serve small portions. Introducing new or rich foods slowly keeps your pup happy and avoids tummy troubles.
🐾 A Simple Plan for a Safe, Happy Holiday
- Watch for hazards, keep counter surfers away from human-only foods
- Serve festive dog-friendly treats, small portions of turkey, veggies, or sweet potato
- Celebrate together, extra cuddles, walks, and toys make the holiday special
By following this simple plan, you can enjoy the holidays with your pup safely while keeping everyone stress-free and joyful.
