It’s Football Season! And, we don’t like to leave our furry family members on the bench! Whether you’re tailgating at the game or watching at home, you can easily include your furry friend in the Football Foods Fun. Here is a list of Top Scoring safe Game Day snacks to share with your dog.
FRUIT
Looking to balance your not-so-healthy food choices with some good ones? Make a beautiful fruit tray with lots of colorful, juicy options! The variety of naturally sweet treats will make it appealing to you and your dog. Some dog friendly choices are:
- apples (without seeds)
- watermelon
- cantaloupe
- blueberries
- strawberries
- raspberries
- bananas
- oranges
VEGETABLES
Another way to sneak in some healthier options for yourself and your guests is to cut up some fresh veggies. You can add dip choices for humans. Your dog can enjoy these plain veggies:
- carrots
- celery
- cucumber
- zucchini
POPCORN
Popping up a batch of popcorn for Game Day? Why not make a separate bowl without salt or butter to share with your dog? It’s a great snack for pups!
BREADS
Having sandwiches on Game Day? Your pup can have a small bit of whole wheat bread. And, can have some unsalted pretzels, as well.
CHEESE
Oh, yes! A true fan favorite of humans and canines! If your dog is like mine, he’ll be hanging around the cheese board waiting for a crumb to drop!
PEANUT BUTTER
And, another top seeded pick! Pro Tip: Add to a slice of apple (see above) to make a double-treat!
