🎄🐾 Festive Foods Your Dog Can Enjoy This Christmas! 🐾🎄
The holidays are all about good food, cosy vibes, and treating the ones we love — and yes, that includes our pups! While some Christmas foods are definitely off-limits, there are actually plenty of safe, healthy options your dog can enjoy without a worry.
Here’s a big, easy list you can use if you want to share a little festive cheer with your furry friend:
🥒 Veggies Your Dog Can Have
These make great low-cal, nutrient-packed snacks:
Carrots — Crunchy, sweet, and great for teeth
Green beans — Fresh or cooked, just avoid added salt
Broccoli — Small amounts only, steamed is best
Cucumber — Hydrating and refreshing
Peas — A fun little pop of protein in small amount as they are part of the lingin family
🍗 Proteins Your Dog Can Safely Enjoy
Lean, plain, and unseasoned is the rule here:
Turkey (plain, no skin or bones!)
Chicken (plain)
Salmon (fully cooked, no bones)
Eggs (scrambled or boiled, no butter or oil)
These are great for dogs who need a protein boost or a little holiday treat.
🍠 Healthy Carbs & Extras
Gentle on tummies and perfect for mixing into meals:
Sweet potato (plain, cooked)
Pumpkin purée (100% pumpkin)
Rice (plain)
Oats (cooked, plain
These can help keep digestion smooth during all the excitement.
🍎 Dog-Safe Fruits
Sweet, festive, and fun — just feed in small amounts:
Apples (no seeds or core)
Blueberries
Banana
Cranberries (plain, unsweetened)
Think of these like dessert bites — tasty but not too much.
🎁 Festive Tips
Keep everything plain: no gravy, no seasoning, no onion/garlic.
No cooled bones at all — they splinter.
Watch portion sizes. Even healthy foods can upset tummies in big amounts.
Introduce new foods slowly if your dog has a sensitive stomach.
🎄🐶 A little holiday treat is totally fine — just keep it simple, safe, and dog-friendly. Your pup gets to join the celebrations, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re snacking safely.
