Pamper your favorite furry friend this Christmas!
Christmas time means cookie time. Fact!
When it comes to snacking, the four-legged friends shouldn't miss out either. Also a fact.
Making treats yourself is easier than you think, it's fun, and you know exactly what's in them at the end. And the best part: Homemade snacks not only appeal to your furry friend, but they also make great gifts for dog and cat-loving friends.
To perfectly prepare you for cookie time, we present a few simple recipes for dogs and cats. And at the very end, Toshi's owner Tommy has tried his hand at making cookies in a video. Find out what happened.
Please note!
If you want to make your furry friend happy, you should pay attention to the ingredients, as not every recipe is suitable for your four-legged friend. Keyword food intolerance.
For example, dogs have difficulty digesting grains and thus cannot utilize the nutrients. Moreover, many dogs cannot tolerate grains, which can lead to vomiting and diarrhea when fed.

Horse-Pumpkin-Potato Dog Cookies
For our dog cookies with delicious pumpkin, potato, and aromatic horse meat, you need…
- 200 g wet food sensitive horse from Pets Deli
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- ¼ Hokkaido pumpkin
- 200 g buckwheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- a baking mat
1. First, peel the potatoes and cut them and the Hokkaido pumpkin into small cubes.
2. Now cook both until they are nice and soft.
3. Then add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and puree them into a fine mixture that resembles pancake batter. If your dough is still too firm, you can simply add a little water. If it becomes too liquid, just stir in a bit more flour.
4. Now fill the finished mixture into your baking mat.
5. Place it in the oven at 160°C (320°F) convection or 180°C (356°F) top/bottom heat and let the cookies bake for 20-60 minutes. Why does the baking time vary? Depending on the mold size of the baking mat and the moisture content in the dough, your cookies may take more or less time.
6. Once the cookies are baked, leave the baking mat in the oven for a while until it cools down. Then gently shake the cookies out of the molds.
