Make these nutritious treats for your pets this Thanksgiving to give them healthy options

We know it’s tempting to give our fur babies table scraps during Thanksgiving, but all of what we love to eat might not be the healthiest for our pets. Making them nutritious alternatives is a great idea to protect their health and weight management. This is actually safe for kids and the human party goers, too!

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until fully combined.

2. Form 1-½ inch balls with your hands and place them on a baking sheet.
