Doxies Are family And They Deserve A Plate At the Thanksgiving Table Too
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you know that Thanksgiving Dinner isn’t just for your friends and family. It’s for your Dachshund too. So, don’t forget about him when preparing for your meal on this wonderful occasion.
Preparing a meal for your Doxie does not have to be costly and complicated. In fact, there are a lot of DIY Thanksgiving meals that you can try for your doggie. In this post, let us share with you some of these great ideas so you and your Doxie would be ready for Thanksgiving!
Turkey and Sweet Potato Treats
It has been tradition to serve sweet potatoes and turkeys during Thanksgiving. So, why not have something for your Doxie as well. You can have sweet potato jerky treats and turkey loaf for your dachshund. You can even add carrots, pumpkin, and kale in the mix to further make the whole treat healthy and delicious!
Turkey Meatballs
Got a few turkey strips of meat to spare? Of course, you have, especially for your Doxie! You can instantly create turkey meatballs in just a few minutes. You can add these meatballs to your Doxie’s meal and we’re sure he’ll give you a big thanks for that!
Roasted Turkey Medallions
Combine white meat turkey with oatmeal or quinoa, and chopped carrots in the mix. Roll them into balls and you get protein-packed treats for your buddy.
The best thing about roasted turkey medallions is that they can easily be prepared and baked quickly. This means that you get more time preparing other dishes or making more treats!
Apple Meatloaf and Golden Turkey
Don’t know what to do with excess food on the table? If so, preparing apple meatloaf and golden turkey would truly be a delight! You’ll need, of course, turkey and apples. Then, get some peas, sweet potatoes, celery, and chicken stock. Mix them up and you’ll have a delicious treat you can serve on Thanksgiving and even freeze leftovers for another day of treating your Doxie.
Sweet Potato Casserole
It’s nice that you can prepare food for your Dachshund from the ingredients you already have on hand for holiday cooking. The sweet potato combined with bean puree would be a perfect KONG stuffing food, meal topper, and frozen treat base on Thanksgiving, and even a few days after.
Mini Pumpkin Pie Treats
We understand that Thanksgiving can cause great chaos in your kitchen. So, preparing a quick treat for your Dachshund is crucial. Thankfully, for the mini pumpkin pie treat, you can finish the whole process within minutes. What you need is olive oil, canned plain pumpkin, brown rice flour, oatmeal, and yogurt. Mix them all up and create your crust. Add the pumpkin. You can then add a dash of yogurt to make it look like it has whipped cream. Don’t forget to remind your guests and family that this treat is for your Doxie. Its look can be too tempting and appetizing, so they might think it’s for them.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Everyone deserves a great time during Thanksgiving and that includes your Dachshund. Remember that not all food on your table would be suitable for your Doxie. With the DIY Thanksgiving meals listed on this post, I’m sure your four-legged friend would be more than thankful.
80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
It’s the PawRamp by Alpha Paw. An adjustable ramp that allows dogs to safely get on and off couches and beds. PawRamp makes joining you in bed or on the couch effortless and fun.
