Super Bowl Treat Ideas for Dogs and Cats

The Super Bowl isn’t just a time for football fanatics to unite—it’s also an opportunity to treat your four-legged MVPs to a special snack lineup. While you enjoy your chips and dip, your pets can join the celebration with safe and delicious treats tailored just for them. Here's how to make your pets feel part of the big game day without compromising their health or diet.

Pet-Safe Game Day Snacks

Before diving into the recipes, it’s important to remember that not all human foods are safe for pets. Skip the spicy buffalo wings, chocolate desserts, and salty chips. Instead, focus on these pet-friendly options:

1. DIY Doggie Nachos

Swap the tortilla chips for thinly sliced sweet potatoes baked until crispy. Top with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt and sprinkle with shredded, pet-safe cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar). Add a small piece of cooked chicken for extra protein.

2. Catnip-Infused Cat Crackers

Whip up a batch of homemade cat treats using ingredients like tuna, oat flour, and a pinch of catnip. Roll the dough into small balls or football shapes, bake until golden, and watch your kitty go wild!

3. Protein-Packed Pup Cups

Create these easy treats with plain, unsweetened yogurt, mashed bananas, and peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free). Mix the ingredients, pour them into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, and freeze until solid.

4. Meaty Muffins

For both cats and dogs, make mini muffins using ground turkey, eggs, and finely chopped carrots. Bake them in mini muffin tins, and you’ve got a bite-sized treat that’s high in protein and flavor.

Purrfect Add-Ins for Extra Support

Don’t forget to add your pet’s favorite natural supplements to these treats for an added health boost. Try adding some Immunity Blend for an immune-boosting treat or CBD Oil to enhance their overall health.

Our Cat Probiotic Powder is also a great addition to any homemade treat! It’s packed with everything your cat needs to maintain healthy and strong immune and digestive systems. Plus, it tastes great!

Really, any Prana Pets supplements work well in these homemade treat recipes, so pick your furry friend’s fave and get cooking! Expect extra cuddles and biscuits afterwards!

Store-Bought Treats That Score Big

If you’re short on time, here are some healthy, store-bought options that your pets will love:

  • For Dogs:

    • Freeze-dried liver treats

    • Dental chews (to keep their teeth clean while you cheer on your team)

    • Grain-free biscuits

  • For Cats:

    • Dehydrated fish treats

    • Soft, lickable treats

    • Catnip-infused toys (because playtime is a treat, too!)

Hydration Station

While you’re sipping on soda or beer, don’t forget to keep your pets hydrated. Provide plenty of fresh water, and consider making a “pet mocktail” by mixing a splash of low-sodium bone broth into their water bowl for a flavorful twist.

Tips for a Safe Game Day

  • Avoid Toxic Foods: Ensure that foods like chocolate, onions, garlic, and anything spicy are out of reach.

  • Monitor Portions: Even healthy treats can lead to upset stomachs if overdone. Stick to appropriate portion sizes based on your pet’s size and dietary needs.

  • Create a Quiet Space: The excitement of a Super Bowl party can be overwhelming for pets. Provide a calm area where they can retreat if the noise gets too loud.

Get Creative with Presentation

Make your pet treats look as festive as your own snacks! Arrange their goodies in a football-shaped dish or serve them on a small platter. Bonus points if you capture an adorable photo of your pet “snacking” and share it on social media.

A Final Word on Fun

Super Bowl Sunday is a chance to bring the whole family together—furry members included. By whipping up these special treats or providing pet-safe options, you’ll ensure your dogs and cats feel like true MVPs.

So, grab your apron, toss the ball (literally or figuratively), and enjoy a tail-wagging, purr-inducing game day with your pets! Go team!
