Latte Love for Your Pets

    Even though many of us are getting into the holiday spirit, it's still fall. Which means it's pumpkin spice season. Now you give your pets some latte love with a drink that is designed just for them!

Latte Love for Your Pets

    I don't personally like to drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but I do have many friends that do. So when I saw that The Honest Kitchen has Pumpkin Spice Latte mix for pets, I knew my girls had to have some. As a matter of fact, last Christmas I got them The Honest Kitchen's Egg Nog Mix, and they went bonkers for it, so I knew they'd love the latte mix as well. Thankfully Chewy.com carries all of this yummy stuff (and more) so within two days, their new drink mix was here. 

Paws Down, The Yummiest!

    All three girls drank it right down. That's right! Both dogs, and the cat loved it. I love that it's a treat that is designed for both canine and feline babies. It makes me happy to be able to give them all of the same thing. (Our girls are our babies, and I hate to feel like one feels left out.) Best of all, it's good for them!

Honestly Good

    This all natural treat is made from real goat's milk! Yes, you read that right. They combine that with pumpkin, honey, and other spices to create a liquid treat for your furry kids. Best of all there is no artificial colors or flavors, no fillers, grain, wheat or soy. There's also no GMO ingredients either. After all, pets are our family, and they deserve the very best too.

An Easy Treat That's Perfect for Cold Days

    Pumpkin Spice Latte from The Honest Kitchen is perfect for chilly days because you serve it warm. Just follow the directions on the back, and go by your fur baby's weight to figure how much to make. Let it cool a bit, and serve warm. The holidays are coming, so why not treat your furry family to this tasty drink to accompany their holiday meal!

Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites

Fall is right around the corner. Since I just got my girls some pumpkin Spice Greenies, it got me thinking that I needed to create some autumn treats for them as well. This fall inspired granola recipe is easy, and best of all, since it’s made with all natural ingredients, it’s not just a dog treat. This recipe can double as human treats too.

Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites

Granola is super tasty and amazing for you as well. The oats are full of fiber, so they help lower cholesterol and can even prevent diabetes. The nuts and seeds in Granola are chock full of unsaturated fats which are good for your ticker too. It’s also good for your four legged family too! Which is why you’ll notice I incorporate it into almost all of our treat recipes. If you love all things pumpkin spice, then this recipe is for you! You can whip it up in no time, and your kids, as well as fur kids are going to love it! So let’s get started.

.First, preheat your oven to 375°. You’re going to toast your regular oats, and a few ingredients before you get into actually making the granola. Here’s what you’ll need.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups Oats
• ¼ cup of Coconut Oil (Olive or Vegetable Oil will work too)
• 1 ½ tsp of Cinnamon

Mix these three ingredients together, then spread them out into a baking pan. In total you will bake these are 375° degrees for 25 minutes. However, have your phone handy to set a timer. Stir them around every ten minutes so they don’t burn. After the full twenty five minutes, remove them from the oven and turn it down to 300°.

While your oats are toasting, gather and combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl. You will need:

• 1 cup Kind Granola
• ⅓ cup Pureed Pumpkin (canned works great, but make sure it’s JUST pumpkin.)
• ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
• ¼ cup Honey

Pour your toasted oats into the mix, and stir well. Next grab your bar pan. I use my handy silicone pan that makes little square bites. Press the mixture in, and bake at 300 for 30 minutes. (You can bake these longer if you want them crunchier, but keep an eye on them as noone wants burnt granola.

If you’re using a bar pan, let them cool for about ten minutes, then cut them into bars. Don’t wait too long or you will have a huge mess of crumbs!

That’s it. How easy is that? With only 7 ingredients, you just created a yummy and healthy treat for your loved ones! These Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites taste amazing. My sister and I and my dogs love them, and I know your family will too.

Yields 3 dozen in my square treat pan

(Side Note: Since this recipe does call for sugar, only give your dog a treat or two ((depending on their size)) per day. You don’t want to give them too much, no matter how much they love them.)

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

    Yes, my dogs are basic too. They adore pumpkin spice anything, much like everyone else. (Except me.) So when I saw that Greenies has limited edition bones in that flavor, I was all over it.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

    Greenies bones really are the best way to rid your baby of horrendous dog breath. We never let our girls run out of them. These dental treats help to work off stinky plaque and tartar. They keep both at bay, while also making your dog's smile healthy, and smelling fresh too! This is huge for us, because Josie will NOT let me brush her teeth. So to say her breath gets fusty is an understatement.

    However, Bayleigh loves to have her teeth brushed. She waits by the sink every night at bedtime to get her chompers cleaned. I still give her Greenies though because they get back to the teeth I can't always reach. Besides that, I can't give her sissy a treat, and not her! 

    Since Fall is right around the corner, Greenies has released their Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Dental Dog Treats. They are made using REAL pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavoring. (You can even smell it when you open them.) My girls go bonkers for them, and we know your fur babes will too! 

Why Greenies?

    Another of the many reasons we love Greenies is because they are good for our girls. Their bones are formulated with all natural ingredients. The texture helps scrape the nasty stuff from your dogs teeth, and they just think they're eating a yummy bone! Even Vets recommend Greenies for your fur babies. They're approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council, and even made right here in the good old United States of America. (Pssst, they make cat treats too, which our little Clara loves as well!)

    So whether or not your fur child lets you brush their teeth, Greenies are the perfect treat. You will feel wonderful knowing that you're giving them something that's all natural and good for them. They will be ecstatic because they're getting a super yummy treat. It's a win win!
