Pumpkin Season is in Full Swing. Got Treats?

October 28, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

There is nothing better than the first crisp day of fall. Your dog probably gets more peppy and you might be celebrating the return of seasonal treats. Pumpkin is everywhere. 

So, whether you are doing socially-distanced trick-or-treating or just creating a little Halloween bubble for your own crew, we want you to have some treat options for your pets. 

The American Kennel Club has three easy recipes for making pumpkin-based treats. What do you need to make them? Gather up the following ingredients and you can create three different treats:

  • Canned Pumpkin
  • Banana
  • Eggs
  • Flour
  • Peanut Butter
  • Plain Yogurt

That’s all you need to make three treats: 6 ingredients!

All you after to do after that is pick which one you want to start to make. Choose between Frozen Pumpkin Treats, Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Treats, or Banana Pumpkin Treats. Or make all three if you are in a super, treat making mood. 

Just head on over to the AKC’s site and follow the directions for making these super simple treats: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/3-pumpkin-recipes-for-dogs/

Making Ice Cream For Your Pet On Summer Days

August 5, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

What sounds better on a hot, steamy summer day than a big ole scoop of your favorite ice cream? Not much! But, your pet may not be able to digest the contents of your favorite batch of frozen goodness. So, why not make some ice cream for them?

We’ve assembled some ideas for you to whip up some homemade treats that will taste way better than what is in the store. They will also give you the benefit of knowing exactly what each treat contains.

First up, many people are familiar with Frosty Paws in the grocery store. Our friends over at Rover.com have concocted a similar treat with fewer ingredients. It contains yogurt, peanut butter and bananas. If your dog doesn’t take well to plain yogurt there is an alternate version included. Click this link to get the recipe.

Maybe you have fresh fruit and would prefer to mix up something a little less creamy, but still tasty. They’ve got you covered with a Watermelon Mint Sherbet. Not only is it healthy, but the mint will give your pet great breath. You can even watch it being made by clicking here to see a video.

Remember that too much dairy can cause an upset tummy. Also, some sugar free additives can be toxic to your pet. If you have questions about your pets health and nutrition we always recommend consulting your veterinarian. 

We hope that these ideas help you create a nutritious and delicious treat to share with your pet during the hot summer days ahead of us.

Last Minute Gift Ideas For Pets

December 18, 2019 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Maybe you are the type who loves the adrenaline rush of being the last shopper out on Christmas Eve. Maybe you are like me and over the years have found time flying by and suddenly you realize the holiday gift season is already here. To help, I’m going to offer up some last minute pet gift ideas.

Since I’m a dog person, I’ll mix it up and make my first recommendation for the cat or kitten in your life. (Did I mention that my niece now has two cats? Turns out the her first cat needed a companion, so they are now a two-cat household.) [Read more…] about Last Minute Gift Ideas For Pets
