A Tail-Wagging Thanksgiving: How to Celebrate with Your Dog This Holiday Season

As the Thanksgiving season approaches, we’re reminded of the importance of gratitude and togetherness—and let’s not forget the wagging tails! At TheDogBFF Barkerie, we know your DogBFF is a part of your family, so why not make this holiday extra special for them too?

Here’s how you can celebrate Thanksgiving with your fur baby while keeping their health and happiness top of mind:

1. Serve a Dog-Friendly Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete without a plate for your pup! Skip the table scraps (like turkey bones and rich gravies) and treat your dog to something made just for them. Our Totally Pumpkin Pupcakes are healthy, all-natural, and paw-sitively delicious!

If you’re feeling creative, try making your own dog-friendly holiday meal with:

• Lean protein like plain, cooked turkey breast.

• Veggies like steamed green beans or carrots.

• Pumpkin puree (unsweetened) for a tasty and tummy-friendly treat.

2. Create New Traditions with Your Pup

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to create memories with your DogBFF. Why not try:

• A morning gratitude walk: Reflect on everything you’re thankful for while exploring your favorite trails.

• A photo session: Dress your pup in festive bandanas or hats and capture those Instagram-worthy moments!

• A BFF Bark Box: Create a Thanksgiving-themed treat box with goodies like dehydrated turkey necks, Totally Pumpkin cookies, and a plush toy shaped like a turkey drumstick.

3. Be Thankful for Their Health

Your dog’s health is one of the best gifts you can give them this holiday season. Did you know many Thanksgiving foods like garlic, onions, and stuffing are harmful to dogs? Stick to all-natural, preservative-free treats like the ones we bake here at TheDogBFF Barkerie.

Pro tip: Keep portions small to avoid overfeeding, and always have fresh water available.

4. Share the Love

Thanksgiving is also about giving back. This year, consider donating treats or toys to a local animal shelter or volunteering your time to help pets in need. Together, we can make the holiday brighter for all dogs.

5. Shop Small and Treat Big

We’re so thankful for our community of dog lovers who support small businesses like ours.

Thankful for You and Your Pup

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for every wagging tail, sloppy kiss, and happy customer who’s made TheDogBFF Barkerie part of their dog’s life. Thank you for trusting us to spoil your pups with the love and care they deserve.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
