BONUS HOLIDAY RECIPES
The countdown is on. Christmas is in just a few days! Imagine looking forward to a nice, quiet evening of enjoying the new book you received for Christmas. Cozying up by the fireplace sounds great, after all the forecast is for snow! While you’ve been busy unwrapping presents, socializing with family and friends and getting the holiday dinner together, your dog has been patiently lounging around. So, just as you are ready to sit down to relax, he bounces up, ready to play. It’s been a long day and he’s ready to go!
Throw on that jacket and bundle up. Your pup deserves to frolic in the snow, at least for a bit. After a frigid frolic, you head inside and reach for your book. But first you reach inside the freezer and grab the last present of the day…a stuffed, frozen holiday treat for your pup. You’ll enjoy the peace and quiet it brings you and your dog will be ecstatic to have a delicious treat.
Struttin Pup has a free e-book of delicious recipes to stuff a Kong or Soda Pup toy. You can grab your copy here. As our holiday present to you, here are some bonus festive recipes that your dog will dig (and some will make you drool too!). Have a wonderful holiday!
