Every year, I look forward to Hanukkah and try to create a wonderful celebration for the entire family, pets included. (Even though they’re spoiled on a daily basis, I still think they deserve extras!) After the decorations were arranged, I focused on the edibles—lots of cooking for the humans and buying special prepared goodies for the pets.

While I want my critters to enjoy what they eat, it’s also vital that they’re only feasting on the best wholesome nutrition, which means NO by-products, corn, wheat, or soy. (Junky stuff that’s full of chemicals, preservatives, and other additives can hurt their health and vitality). Instead, I look for a high-quality food like BLUE Buffalo™ .

Full of antioxidant-rich, whole ingredients, BLUE wet and dry food is regularly enjoyed by my cats and dogs, so I was eager to surprise them with some limited edition treats.

Cyrus went crazy for the Santa Snacks. Baked with oatmeal, pumpkin, and lots of spices, they offer an irresistible crunch in adorable shapes like gingerbread men and stars. He also liked Wild Bits, a trail treat from the Wilderness line.

Charlie, Scamp, and Snowball were also curious. (Of course, I wouldn’t leave them out!) Hard snacks are very difficult for Charlie since he struggles with a lot of dental issues. A soft food that’s easy to chew works much better. Santa Stew contains a nice mix of turkey, green beans, sweet potatoes and cranberries. He devoured the entire can by himself! 

Because the kittens are grain-free, Freedom food is perfect. Made for those with special dietary needs, it’s an excellent blend of chicken, berries, carrots, sweet potatoes and peas. Both boys ate a bunch.

If you’re like me, you consider pets a part of the family, and if you love them like family, you’ve got to feed them like family this holiday season with #BestofBLUE.
