Treat your favorite furry friend this Christmas season!
Christmas time means cookie time. Fact!
Your four-legged friends shouldn't miss out on the treats either. Also a fact.
Making treats yourself is easier than you think, it's fun, and you know exactly what's in them. And the best part: homemade snacks aren't just a hit with your furry friend, they also make great gifts for dog and cat lovers you know.
To help you get ready for cookie season, we've put together a few simple recipes for dogs and cats. And at the very end, Toshi's owner Tommy tries his hand at baking cookies in a video.Find out how it turned out.
Please note!
If you want to treat your furry friend, you should pay attention to the ingredients, because not every recipe is suitable for your pet. Keyword food intolerance.
Dogs, for example, have a hard time digesting grains and can't absorb the nutrients. On top of that, many dogs are intolerant to grains, which can lead to vomiting and diarrhea when fed.

Horse-pumpkin-potato dog biscuits
For our dog biscuits with delicious pumpkin, potato, and flavorful horse meat, you'll need…
200 g Sensitive Horse wet food from Pets Deli
2 medium potatoes
¼ Hokkaido pumpkin
200 g buckwheat flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp sunflower oil
a baking mat
First, peel the potatoes and cut them and the Hokkaido pumpkin into small cubes.
Now cook both until nice and soft.
Next, put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and puree into a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter. If your dough is still too firm, just add a little water. If it's too runny, simply stir in a bit more flour.
Now fill the finished mixture into your baking mat.
Place it in the oven at 160°C fan or 180°C top/bottom heat and bake the biscuits for 20-60 minutes. Why does the baking time vary so much? Depending on the size of the baking mat molds and the moisture content of the dough, your biscuits may need more or less time.
Once the biscuits are baked through, leave the baking mat in the oven for a while until it cools down. Then gently shake the biscuits out of the molds.
