Recipe: Festive Doggy Mince Pies

Fancy giving your dog a festive treat this holiday? Try these dog-friendly Christmas mince pies from our Ambassador Dee Dee and her owner Alex.

Made with natural ingredients, you can add cranberry and parsley for a festive feel and anti-inflammatory properties or replace standard flour with coconut flour for a gluten-free, high-fibre alternative.

Safety notice: regular mince pies contain raisins, which are highly toxic to dogs and can cause acute kidney injuries, so never add these to any Christmas treats for dogs.
