Why Make Pet-Friendly Treats?

While the aroma of gingerbread cookies and roasted turkey fills the air, you might notice your pets gazing longingly at the table. But remember: many human foods, like chocolate, onions, and certain spices, can be harmful to pets. Homemade treats are a safe, thoughtful way to include them in your celebrations.

Benefits of Homemade Pet Treats:

• Control over ingredients: Avoid harmful additives and allergens.

• Tailored to dietary needs: Customize recipes for your pet’s preferences and health.

• Bonding time: Cooking for your pet strengthens the human-animal connection.
