By Rachel O.

This Halloween, treat your pets to some festive fun with homemade spooky snacks! Using high-quality ingredients from trusted brands like Purina, Merrick, and Zuke’s, you can craft delicious and healthy treats that your cats and dogs will love.

For Dogs: Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Pup Treats

Pumpkin is not only a fall favorite but also great for dogs’ digestion. Combine: 1 cup of canned pumpkin
1/4 cup of unsalted peanut butter
1/2 cup of Merrick dry dog food

Now ground it all into a powder. Mix into a dough, roll into small balls, and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Let them cool, and you’ve got pumpkin-flavored doggy delights!

For Cats: Tuna & Catnip Halloween Bites Cats love tuna, and adding a bit of catnip can make these treats irresistible! Mix:
1 can of Purina Pro Plan Tuna
1 teaspoon of dried catnip
1/2 cup of Zuke’s Natural Cat Treats, crushed.

Shape into small, spooky shapes like ghosts or pumpkins and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm them up.

Safety First!

When making pet treats, always avoid common human ingredients that are toxic to pets, such as chocolate, garlic, and xylitol. Stick with pet-safe ingredients like those found in Purina, Merrick, and Zuke’s products to keep your furry friends healthy and happy.

These easy recipes ensure your pets can enjoy Halloween with treats that are not only festive but nutritious, making sure everyone in the family—human and animal—has a howling good time!
