Mmmmm, Pie: Desserts For Finicky Felines

PetSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:17 -0800

While nine bucks is a lot of money to spend on a slice of pie for me to eat (read: gone in minutes), it's totally reasonable for these jumbo toy pieces filled with organic catnip.
Dish out this cute present for resident felines at Thanksgiving dinner (so they don't get jealous of their lucky dog counterparts). I plan on eating some pumpkin pie myself so I'm choosing this one, but Catzilla Crafts' Etsy store "bakes" up a bunch of goodies including cakes, donuts, eclairs, and even (my fave) banana pancakes. Cue the Jack Johnson, I'm diggin' in.

Turkey Pot Hold-the-Pie – A Delish Dish For Dogs

The look on this cav's face says it all – yum-o! Although, the pot pie is crustless (and served cooled to room temperature), I think pups will still love it even without the warm-your-tum or pie parts that I think of with this dish.

Learn how to make the veggie-filled, pet-friendly recipe from the September issue of Everyday Day With Rachael Ray when you read more.

Turkey Pot Hold-the-Pie
Every Day With Rachael Ray (September 2008)

Your K9 companion will get their fill of this crustless potpie! (It’s like comfort food for dogs!)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
¼ pound deli-sliced turkey, chopped
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions
In a small skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the turkey, veggies and parsley and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool to almost room temperature, then serve.

Mmmm! Pick Pumpkin Pie Pops

PetSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:20:39 -0800

Thanksgiving's right around the corner - have you downloaded our planner yet? Now, I remember those adoro pies for finicky felines, but let your gourd-loving pups in on a lil, three-word secret: Pumpkin Pie Pops ($5).

Made of organic ingredients good enough for humans, the pumpkin snacks are topped with all-natural, veggie-food-colored yogurt. I can see a pooch being a-OK with this treat, since he can't have sugary pie and, as long as you take off the stick, it's totally safe for pups (and corn free). Did I mention you could eat it? Mmm, yeah that's all I can think about.

Do Tell: What's on the Menu For Your Pets This Thanksgiving?

PetSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:00:49 -0800

Introducing large quantities of rich "people food" into a pet's diet on Thanksgiving is bad for their tummies! In fact, some typical holiday fare should never be fed to pets. One sure way to be certain no one slips up is to place the appropriate portion of your furry friend's normal snacks in a convenient location. Point out the healthy treats to your guests and encourage them to pamper your pals with extra petting or playtime . . . not to feed the snacks all at once.

Dog-Approved Snacks:

Small piece of white-meat turkey
A few cooked, unseasoned carrots or green beans
Spoonful of canned pumpkin (not pie filling)
Sweet Potato Dog Chips
Small apple or banana slice

What's on your pet's menu for next week?
