\"Delicious<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the table and enjoy delicious food with loved ones. But pets usually get scraps\u2014which aren’t always the best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on feeding the right turkey and sweet potato scraps, why not make your pet some tasty treats that are just <\/em>for her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team at Sunrise Boulevard Animal Hospital<\/a> has rounded up four delicious recipes you can make for Fido and Kitty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4 Delicious Thanksgiving Recipes for Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin is a fantastic digestive aid<\/strong> (thanks to all that fiber and low fat!), and when you mix it with the protein and healthy fats of pet-safe peanut butter, it’s perfection. Your dog will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while cats don\u2019t need<\/em> pumpkin, peanut butter, or oats in their diet, they can <\/em>enjoy one of these tasty treats during the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even better, these treats take just three ingredients to make, are easy to store, and last for several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, this means Thanksgiving leftovers for everyone in your household. Furry friends included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turkey Meatballs for Cats and Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re cooking up a big Thanksgiving turkey, why not share a little with your pets? This simple meatball recipe uses unseasoned turkey and vegetables to create a protein-rich snack that\u2019s safe for both cats and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey is lean and healthy, and when you combine it with pet-friendly veggies, it makes for a balanced meal. Plus, these meatballs are baked, so they’re healthier than a fried or heavily processed treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe we\u2019ve linked below is safe and nutritious for dogs and <\/em>cats\u2014unlike other pet meatball recipes, there\u2019s no parsley in this recipe. (Parsley is toxic to cats!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Sweet Potato Dog Chews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving favorite, and they\u2019re just as nutritious for dogs as they are for humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These homemade chews are a great alternative to store-bought treats, and they\u2019re super easy to make. With just a few minutes of slicing and a couple of hours in the oven, your pup will get a fiber-filled snack rich in vitamins A and C.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dehydrating sweet potatoes for 2-3 hours gives them a chewy texture that\u2019ll satisfy your pup\u2019s need to chew and chomp on something tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Turkey and Cranberry Holiday Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Save the turkey carcass to make a tasty bone broth your pets will love in this recipe for a Thanksgiving treat for pets. These biscuits combine turkey meat, bone broth, egg, flour, pumpkin puree, and fresh cranberries for a savory treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe we love does include cinnamon, though. While this spice isn\u2019t toxic for cats, it\u2019s not exactly good for them either. Substitute catnip for cinnamon for a truly feline-friendly treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
