We don’t do the puppy birthday parties and such around here. I’m the only dog person in the house (gasp, I know) but I’d love to hear all about yours if you have them! My secret guilty pleasure, or one of them anyway, is looking up photos of Pet parties! I love the creativity!

How do you pamper your pets?

    I don’t have any pups, but this looks like such a great treat for them. I have always loved it when people go this all natural homemade route with their pet’s food. It is so much better for them. We have a bunny who eats fresh salad daily and of course hay and pellets. I have tried to feed my cats homemade food but they won’t eat it. Thanks so much for sharing and linking up.

    I wish I could do this for my dog. She’s allergic to corn, pork and all potatoes so I can’t make it for her. Makes me sad.
