Fun Valentine’s Day Pet Treat Ideas

Treating your pet on Valentine’s Day is a great way to show them how much you care. However, when it comes to treats for pets, safety should always be top priority. Check out these 3 safe and delicious pet treats that are perfect for celebrating the season of love with your furry friend!

#1: Peanut butter-covered strawberries

Skip the toxicity-causing chocolate coating on juicy strawberries and slather them with xylitol-free peanut butter instead. Berries are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, plus they are a great source of fiber, which aids in digestion. To help your pet enjoy all the health benefits berries have to offer, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on various types of berries, then pop them in the freezer for a tasty frozen treat.

#2: Heart-shaped box of assorted treats

Does your furry friend have too many favorite pet treats to pick just one? Fill a heart-shaped box with delicious, pet-safe goodies. Add bite-size treats, small pieces of fresh fruits and veggies, chunks of cheese, and bites of lean meat, then present the dish to your furry pal. Good treat options include apples, bananas, melons, green beans, carrots, bell peppers, tuna, and turkey breast.

#3: Conversation heart cookies

Everyone, including your pet, appreciates home-cooked goodies. Make heart-shaped cookies using your favorite treat recipe, and then use xylitol-free peanut butter or plain greek yogurt in a piping bag to write messages to your furry pal, such as:

• I chew-s you

• Puppy luv

• Good dog

• You’re purr-fect

• Friends fur-ever

• I ruff you
