12 Days of DIY Holiday Pet Treats

This eggnog is pure holiday decadence for dogs who hover like tiny latte critics every time you pick up a mug. It’s just a simple blend of baby food, eggs and plain yogurt that somehow tastes seasonal and looks unexpectedly elegant for something that comes together in under 30 seconds.

These salmon bites are pure holiday luxury for cats who behave like they invented fine dining. A quick mix of canned salmon, flour and egg, and just 20 minutes in the oven turns into warm, flaky treats worthy of the most demanding critic in the house.

These gingerbread cookies bring all the festive charm without any of the ingredients that could land your dog on the vet’s naughty list. A mix of flour, xylitol-free peanut butter, apple and warm spices bakes into crisp little cookies that look straight out of a holiday baking show.

This turkey meatloaf is comfort food for dogs who think every night should come with a holiday menu. Ground turkey, veggies, oats and an egg transform into a warm, hearty loaf that punches way above its ingredient list.

These treats are the kind of holiday cookies that make dogs believe Santa is absolutely real and clearly on their side. A mix of xylitol-free peanut butter, applesauce, oats and flour bakes into soft little treats (throw in a few carob chips and add a swipe of dog-safe icing to really make them feel they've been good all year).

These cranberry bites are bright, chewy and look far fancier than anything made from oats and almond flour should. Fresh cranberries, a hint of honey and a splash of coconut oil turn them into the holiday snack your dog will demolish before you can say, “You serious, Clark?”

Peanut butter, oats and coconut oil bake into a soft little ring that feels downright indulgent, and that’s before you even add the yogurt glaze and bacon crumble. One bite and your dog will be acting like they just got cast in "The Holiday" as the charming best friend who steals every scene.

These liver morsels are the crunchy little power snacks that convince your cat you’re finally living up to their expectations. A mix of chicken liver, flour and mashed carrot bakes into crisp bites that deliver the kind of flavor payoff that makes cats forgive at least three of your past mistakes.

These sweet potato chips crisp up into the kind of treat that makes dogs forget every rule they’ve ever learned. A little coconut oil gives them just enough holiday flair to keep things festive without any extra effort.

Turkey, salmon, veggies and mash all get a generous splash of giblet stock, which sounds questionable but instantly upgrades the whole bowl like you just won Top Chef: Pet Edition. It’s exactly the kind of meal that makes them strut off like they hosted the whole thing.

Carrot, peas, parsnip and broccoli blend with a little egg and oat flour into bite-sized rounds that look way more intentional than the five minutes they take to make. They’re cute, crunchy and guaranteed to earn you at least one slow blink of approval.
