Now your dog can have their own Christmas pudding

CWith dogs so much a part of family life today, they are included in seasonal celebrations and now even have their own Christmas pudding recipe.

It's actually surprisingly easy to create a Christmas pudding that dogs can eat, as they need lots of different foods in their diets. By using healthy ingredients such as yoghurt, xylitol-free peanut butter, and eggs, you can whip up a pud that your pooch will love.

To give things a seasonal twist, you can use a few dried cranberries for decoration. These fruits are safe for dogs to eat in small amounts, and provide fibre and nutrients. Yoghurt is another food that is safe in small amounts, as long as your dog doesn't struggle with digesting lactose. If you are unsure, you can give your dog a tiny portion to try ahead of Christmas day, to make sure that they enjoy it and can digest it comfortably. Another good idea is to double check any potential festive treats with your vet.
