Christmas is a time of year in which homemade recipes are the protagonists. The Christmas spirit and the lights make us invite our pets to participate in this party. And while our dog follows us around, sensing that something tasty is in the oven, it's normal to think that things we could do for him too that are healthy and tasty.

At PeritoAnimal we want you to share special moments to provide a great Christmas for your dog, so we leave you a list of 3 Christmas recipes for dogs, as we already know that, like humans, their health and quality of life is closely related to food. So let's cook and share with the whole family!


Dog Christmas Recipes: What You Need to Consider

Have you thought about what to give the dog for Christmas? If you're looking for nutritious and healthy recipes for your dog, then the options we'll show you are ideal. Remember that you must be careful when it comes to changing the diet of puppies used to eating the same thing.

These incorporations of new foods are usually easier in animals used to eating (daily or occasionally) healthy homemade recipes prepared by their guardians in their home. In this other article, for example, we teach how to prepare cake recipes for dogs.

You must take into account that dogs are about omnivorous animals. In nature, they follow a high-protein diet based on meat (bones, viscera and fat) and very little cereal or carbohydrates. Your digestive tract is not adapted to digest cereals and so they accumulate, intoxicating you. In turn, we have certain foods that are prohibited for dogs when preparing recipes:


  • Avocado
  • grapes and raisins
  • Onion
  • raw garlic
  • Chocolate
  • Alcohol

Recommendation:

Beware of portions. If your dog is used to eating kibble (approximately 500g per meal), you should give the same amount of homemade food and never mix homemade recipes with feed for dogs. It is preferable to have a home-cooked and a commercial meal, rather than the two mixed together. In case of doubt, always consult your veterinarian.

Starter: liver bread
