Delicious Christmas Dog Treat Recipes

The holidays are looming over us all... They bring about many celebrations, gatherings, and that special quality family-time. The holidays are also spent eating with those you love and adore. For some of us, our best canine friends can sometimes feel a bit left out during the holiday season - especially when it comes to all the delicious treats and goodies that we spend making for one another! However, here at Lord Jameson, we've figured out a way to give your four-legged friend their own share of Christmas treats too!

We searched the internet for some of the tastiest Christmas-inspired dog treats and found a ton! Take a look at these mouthwatering, yet wholesome and healthy dog treats that are perfect to help your dog feel included in the festive cheer! This season isn’t just about human joy and happiness - it's about our pets celebrating, too! So, without any further ado, here are some delicious Christmas dog treat recipes.

Lord Jameson Organic Dog Treats

Before we get into some DIY treats, we wanted to chat about the organic dog treats that we offer at Lord Jameson! To help your dog get into the holiday spirit, we created our Holiday Collection! We've worked hard to create the best possible culinary experience for dogs - and we're proud to share that our treats are USDA Organic Certified! All of our treats are made from all-natural ingredients and come in a variety of flavors. As this blog is focused around the holidays, let's take a look at some of our Holiday Collection flavors:

Holiday Cobbler

Our Holiday Cobbler treats are perfect (or should we say pawfect) for the holidays! These treats are made with sweet and juicy apples, aromatic coconuts, and delicious holiday spice. Like the apples, these treats are so sweet and juicy and bound to make your dog's mouth water! The aroma is so incredible that we've even had dog owners try them for themselves! One customer said: "My dogs love these. I tried to save them for Christmas but once I told my husband they're human grade, he tried one & now I'll have to buy more for the dogs. He says they remind him of something his mom used to make." So, it's safe to say they're human / dog approved!

Gingerbread

Our Gingerbread treats were inspired by our grandmother's gingerbread recipe - so, to us, they're an extra special treat. The recipe was adapted to fit the dietary needs of dogs, but that incredible flavor remains. These healthy holiday dog treats are made with a tasteful combination of organic super-foods including organic ginger, gluten free certified oats, and roasted peanut butter. 

Our Gingerbread dog treats come in two types of packaging: our regular bag and our Candy Cane-inspired packaging! Our Gingerbread Cane treats help your dog get even more into that holiday spirit as they have festive colored coconut shreds on them! Each order comes with a pack of 2 canes - so whether you want to gift one to a friend or spoil your dog even more, you have the option to do so.
