Celebrate the Seasons with Holiday Dog TreatsHoliday dog treats are a great way to include your canine companion in holiday festivities. As humans, we often celebrate holidays with food….really yummy food. Why should it be any different for the canine members of our family? Dogs love indulging in holiday goodies just as much as we do. I’ve seen our own dogs stand next to the oven in anticipation as something delicious is baking inside. They put their little noses in the air to take in the wonderful scents. 
It’s often difficult to not give in to temptation and indulge them with a taste of whatever we are cooking. But allowing our dogs to indulge in too much “human” food can lead to disaster.Luckily there are healthier ways to treat our dogs to something special during the holiday season. There are holiday dog treats for most any occasion. Many dog bakeries offer dog cookies decorated for the holidays…Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day..most any holiday you can think of. Dog bakeries find creative ways to celebrate these special days with our canine companions. If buying treats from the store or dog bakery pay special attention to the ingredients. Most specialty shops are careful about the ingredients they use, but I have seen dog cookies that contain high amounts of sugar and some not so natural ingredients. Baking special homemade dog treats during the holidays is a great way to include your dog in the holiday celebrations in a healthy and safe way. Here are some ideas and recipes for holiday dog treats: Halloween These Pumpkin Dog Treats are a great way to celebrate Halloween. I use Halloween cookie cutters such as mini pumpkin, witch, bat, etc. After baking, dip the bat shaped cookies in a carob coating for spooktacular results!
