11-09-2023 | General, Featured
The holidays are right around the corner which means that soon our houses will be buzzing with the company of the ones we love. The scents of our favorite holiday dishes and freshly baked pastries will fill the rooms with the sweet aroma of the holidays. Our noses won’t be the only snoots drawn to the delightful aromas of holiday spirit, but also the snouts of our furry companions. With many holiday dishes containing ingredients that our furry friends are not allowed to consume, it is fitting for us to create a holiday menu or special treat just for them. I mean, they are a part of our families after all. Here are some of the Best Homemade Holiday Recipes for Dogs:
Cheese Bones
While everyone is catching up and snacking on the delicious charcuterie arrangements, don’t forget your four-legged friends deserve a treat too. These cheese bones are sure to not only be a new favorite snack, but will certainly be the bark of the evening. Happy pets equal happy people.
