Pumpkin spice season is officially here, and this year, your pup can join in on the fun! This dog-friendly PUPkin Spice Latte is a simple fall treat made without the coffee, caffeine, or spices found in the human version.
☕ What You'll Need
- 2 tablespoons plain pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup water or plain, unsweetened goat milk
- A tiny sprinkle of cinnamon, optional
🎃 Let's Make a PUPkin Latte!
Combine the pumpkin purée with the water or goat milk and stir until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into your pup's favorite bowl or a pet-safe cup.
Top it with a small spoonful of plain Greek yogurt to create the "whipped cream." If you'd like, finish it with a very light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Now it's time to serve and let your pup enjoy their very own taste of fall!
🐾 PSA for your PSL's... ☕️
Remember, your morning PSL and your pup's PUPkin Latte are two very different drinks!
Never give dogs coffee or other sources of caffeine, and leave nutmeg out of their fall treats. Be sure to use plain pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling, which can contain added sugar and spices.
Check the labels on yogurt, milk alternatives, and other ingredients to make sure they don't contain xylitol or other ingredients that aren't appropriate for your pet.
As with any treat, serve your PUPkin Latte in moderation and consider your dog's size and individual dietary needs. If your pet has dietary restrictions or health concerns, check with your veterinarian before introducing something new.
🍂
Pair your pup's latte with their favorite treat, throw on a cute fall bandana, and you've got the perfect excuse for a cozy fall photo shoot.
So grab your PSL, make your furry BFF a PUPkin Latte, and enjoy pumpkin spice season together.
