While you’re enjoying your large turkey dinner and stuffing your face with cakes, pies—and whatever else you can get your hands on—Fido is in the corner just wishing he could have a bite.
But usually he can’t. Sweets made for humans are way too sugary for dogs and can make them throw up.
You don’t need that kinda mess this holiday.
That’s why we’ve compiled a huge list of holiday-themed dog treats that your dog can enjoy alongside his human counterparts.
Since they’re all found on Amazon, almost anyone can order them to enjoy all season long.
20 Christmas Dog Treats to Give as Dog Gifts
Take into account any dietary restrictions and flavor preferences when selecting holiday treats. For big bags, you may wish to separate them into smaller bags or boxes and distribute them to other canine friends throughout the season
#1 Pumpkin Dog Ice Cream
While you enjoy your pumpkin pie and whipped cream, allow your dog to have a pumpkin-flavored treat too. Even in the dead cold of winter, we know he won’t object. Simply add water to the mix and freeze for whenever you’re ready.
Pawsative Ruffview: “The ice cream was a hit. I bought this for my dog for her birthday. She loved it. Even my cats got to taste it and they liked it. And …. don’t tell anyone, but because of the ingredients, I licked the spoon to see what it tasted like. I’m impressed. I’m not going to sit down and eat a bowl of this stuff, but it didn’t make me gag. It just tasted like salty, bacon flavored milk. I’ll buy this again for MY DOG for other special occasions.”

#2 Pumpkin or Gingerbread Dog Biscuits
Another pumpkin option, these are easy to digest with nothing artificial. The company also donates 5% of net profits to animal shelters and programs, so get into that holiday giving spirit!
Pawsative Ruffview: “I have searched all over for healthy yummy treats that are low in phosphorus. My dog love these treats. I like that they have very few ingredients and feel like they were not mass produced. The Gingerbread and Pumpkin you can even taste them for yourself. They truly seem like they were baked in your oven. Thank you. Please keep making low phosphorus treats.”

Our dogs love opening the box on Christmas and enjoy the cookies even more! Some are a nice, quarter size, others are a tiny (like the bones). Always crunchy, have never been stale.

So for Christmas I bought this and separated them into zip lock baggies and handed them out for doggie Christmas presents. Although to a human they appear to be like rice cake or styrophome consistency, they are cute, colorful doggie shapes and dogs love them. This container had the flavours of chicken, beef, and vegetable and the doggies liked each flavour.”

Pawsative Ruffview: “Just gave a cookie to the dog on Christmas, and he loved it! He’s a an 18-lb terrier, not very big, so now I give him 1/3 or 1/2 of one. They are about the size of a standard Christmas cookie, so they’re big to give him a whole one. He has grain allergies, so I’ve not been able to get him real “cookies” before. This is a great treat.”
