When your dog is practically a member of the family, it’s a no-brainer that they’ll be included in your Easter celebration! But what’s the best way to go about this? In this article, we’ll go over some fun ways to make your dog’s Easter extra special this year. We’ll even talk about the best dog treats for Easter! Let’s get into it.
What Not to Feed Your Dog
It’s all good and well to want to include your dog in the Easter festivities. However, it’s important to remember that these furry family members can’t always enjoy human food safely. For instance, although chocolate is delicious, the chocolate bunnies you find in your Easter basket certainly do not make the best dog treats for Easter. Chocolate is extremely dangerous for dogs to consume. You should never let your pup have even a small taste of this ingredient. Keep an eye on small children to make sure they don’t try to share any other candy with the family dog as well.

Carrots: the Best Dog Treats for Easter?
We all know the Easter Bunny is a huge staple of the spring holiday. And when you think of bunnies, you’re sure to think of carrots. So the question is, are carrots a good fit for Easter dog treats? Well, yes, they definitely can be!
Carrots can be a great choice for dogs because they’re low-calorie, low-fat, and chock-full of vitamins A, C, and K. Not to mention fiber, folate, iron, potassium, and more! That’s a lot of nutritional power. You’ve probably heard that carrots support vision in humans, and this benefit holds true for dogs as well. They may also help your pooch maintain a healthy immune system, a shiny coat, and smooth digestion.
With all these benefits, there’s no question that carrots are one of the best dog treats for Easter. But very few canines are going to be licking their chops in anticipation for a bite of a plain raw carrot. Still, there are fun ways you can incorporate this healthy veggie into their diet.
How to Feed Your Dog Carrot Treats
First off, you can try slathering a chunk of carrot in peanut butter! Lots of dogs love the taste and texture of yummy peanut butter, so it might entice them to give the crunchy carrot hiding underneath a try. Don’t be too sad if they lick up all the nutty goodness and spit out the carrot, though! Some dogs are just picky eaters, and that’s ok. Your pup might prefer raw carrots or cooked carrots, so be sure to give both a try.
Another idea would be to make a dog treat recipe that includes carrots. There are lots of recipes online posted by creative dog lovers. This one looks particularly mouthwatering. Canine carrot cake? Yes, please.
If baking isn’t your thing, give our Sweet Potato & Peanut Butter dog treats a go! They’re the perfect sweet treat that’s already made (with high-quality, all-natural ingredients). That means you don’t have to lift a finger. You’re bound to be busy on the holiday, so packing these treats beforehand can be a great way to prepare your dog’s special treat.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, your dog will think you’re absolutely paw-some just for thinking of them. Happy Easter!
