Christmas Dog Treats Archives

In our home, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. We love to eat all the treats and get into all the festive feels by listening to Christmas songs and doing silly dances, taking Christmas photos in matching pyjamas and snuggling up to enjoy a few Christmas movies together and yes that includes Zara too.

While Christmas treats are a must have in our home, most of them are not dog friendly at all so to include Zara in our Christmas treats this year I have made these two really easy Christmas dog treat recipes which we hope your doggos will love too 🙂

Frozen Beetroot Christmas treats

Ingredients

4 medium beetroots

Directions

Roast, boil or steam your peeled beetroot. Once cooked and soft blend them up into a smooth puree. Spoon the puree into silicone Christmas themed moulds and freeze over night. Pop them out the moulds and let your pups enjoy 1 or 2 at a time! Keep frozen.

Christmas Pancakes

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1.5 tbs melted butter

1 tsp vanilla

1.5 cups of flour (plain, wholemeal or oat)

1 tsp baking powder

Directions

Beat together eggs, milk, butter and vanilla. Then sift all the dry ingredients into the mixture. Beat or whisk until properly mixed. Heat a pan and you can either make giant pancakes and then use your Christmas cookie cutters to cut out the shapes or you can put your cookie cutters into the pan and pour the pancake batter into them. Once cooked allow them to cool before your pup enjoys them 🙂

Make a big batch and freeze them, take them out as and when you need them- allow to defrost before serving.

These are two really quick and easy dog treat recipes (fit for humans too) because I know this time year can get really chaotic. We hope your furry loves enjoy their yummy Christmas treats as much as Zara does.

We love Santa in our home. He’s the big fat guy who brings presents and looks after reindeers and our new family member Coco Puff the elf. As Gia gets older, Christmas becomes more fun because she understands a little more and we can just enjoy the make believe world that Santa is. Life is too short not to have FUN and not to eat Christmas treats!

Zara loves Santa Paws too and she picks up on all the excitement and knows when his delivery has been made. She knows exactly which gifts are for her and loves to sniff them out.

So Santa Paws is almost here and what better way to celebrate his arrival than with some yummy homemade Christmas treats for the whole family.

Candy Cane Dog Treats

Ingredients for the red dough

1 cup beetroot puree

1 egg

2 cups flour

Directions

Mix together the beetroot puree and egg. Then add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Set aside.

Ingredients for the white dough

1 cup apple puree

1 egg

2 cups flour

Directions

Mix together the apple puree and egg. Then add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Set aside.

Take little portions of each dough and roll them into long thin strips then on a greased baking tray gently plait them into a candy cane shape. Repeat until all your dough is finished. Bake at 180 degrees for +-25 minutes or until cooked through. Once cooked allow them to cool before your pup enjoys them.

Gia helped make the Christmas cookies for Santa. She loved being involved!

Christmas Cookies

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup castor sugar

1 cup butter – room temperature

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat the egg and vanilla together then add it to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well. Then add the flour one cup at a time and mix well. Eventually the dough will form. Put it in the fridge for about an hour to chill. Once chilled roll out and using Christmas shaped cookie cutters make your Christmas cookies. Place on an un-greased baking tray and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for +-15minutes or until golden. Allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.

You can bet we will be leaving a candy cane out for Rudolf and a Christmas cookie for Santa!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2022.

Thank you for following us on our journey that was 2021!
