Everyone has their own unique holiday traditions. For some, it’s watching your favorite cozy Christmas movie on Christmas Eve, or opening an Advent calendar each night of December for a sugary treat. Whatever your favorite holiday tradition is, they usually all involve one thing. Family.

Goat Milk for Dogs: A Gentle, Nourishing Treat

Unlike other types of dairy products like whipped cream or cow’s milk, goat milk is gentle and functional on the digestive system. Packed with prebiotics like oligosaccharides, goat milk helps feed “good” gut bacteria, helping maintain a balanced gut microbiome and aiding digestive issues. 

Everyone experiences dehydration and dryness in the winter months, even our pets. Goat Milk is an essential source of electrolytes, particularly potassium and sodium, that can help your dog stay hydrated. Goat Milk is actually 85% water! It can help replenish fluids in your pets with digestive issues such as vomiting or diarrhea that may be more common among the holiday season when they’re sneaking table scraps from certain family members. 

Goat Milk by Brutus Broth is also a great source of calcium. And yes, calcium for dogs is essential. Just like humans, dogs and cats lose calcium as they age. By supporting pet bone and dental health, calcium helps your pets remain youthful and healthy so they can continue to play throughout their lives. 

Bone Broth Biscuits: Pork & Apple Flavor

Brutus Broth Biscuits use limited all-natural ingredients, high-quality protein from real meat, natural flavors, and low sodium. No one wants to feel crummy around the holidays, and neither does your pup. Making sure you are feeding them high-quality, safe ingredients is the key to holiday success. 

Certain dog treats can contain red-flag ingredients hidden in their ingredient lists. These unhealthy ingredients can include: 

  • Xylitol
  • BHA and BHT
  • Artificial Colors
  • Corn Syrup
  • Corn and Wheat Fillers
  • Potassium Sorbate
  • Non-Specific Protein Sources

The Holiday Duo: Why This Combo Works

Everyone likes to (and deserves) a little indulgence over the holidays. But for your pet, it's always best to stick to dog-friendly foods and treats that have nutritional benefits for your furry companions. Milk & Cookies by Brutus Broth looks like an indulgent treat and is secretly packed with hydration, clean ingredients, and nutrients your dog will thank you for. 

Milk and Cookies is the perfect pairing, combining a creamy, delicious, hydration-forward sip with a protein-packed crunch your dog is sure to enjoy. Santa gets milk and cookies by the tree each Christmas Eve, and now your pups get Brutus Broth’s Milk & Cookies under the tree this Christmas morning!

How to Serve This Holiday Treat

Here are some ways to dress up Milk & Cookies for your spoiled pups this year: 

  1. Pour Goat Milk over some biscuits in a small bowl for a “cookie dunk.”
  2. Slightly warm the Goat Milk for a cold-weather treat
  3. Crumble the biscuits into a bowl of Goat Milk for senior dogs or picky eaters
  4. Pour Goat Milk over your dog's kibble and add a sprinkling of crumbled biscuits for a Christmas dinner-time treat
  5. Make your dog their own plate of “cookies” with Goat Milk to find on Christmas morning

Other ways to include dogs in the holiday cheer

1. Let them join your favorite holiday traditions

There are lots of ways to make sure your dogs are included in the holiday festivities. If your family buys matching Christmas pajamas each year, consider buying one for your pup too! On family movie nights, make sure there's a spot on the couch, or a nearby dog bed, so your furry friend can feel like they are still part of the family. 

2. Create a pet-friendly stocking 

This is a great way to include your dog on Christmas morning. Find a cute doggy stocking and fill it with your dog's favorite treats, toys, and more! Make sure to include functional items like an enrichment toy, Brutus Bone Broth, and more! Your dog will love opening their stocking alongside the family on Christmas morning AND will be occupied playing and discovering whatever's inside while the rest of your family opens their own gifts!

3. Spread joy through acts of kindness

Your pup is thankful they have a wonderful family to spend the holidays with, but other dogs will be in shelters during the holiday season. Consider making a new family tradition and getting involved with local rescues and non-profits in your area this year. You can donate toys, treats, and food to a local dog shelter, volunteer at a local adoption event, and much more. Providing joy to other pets in need is a very special way to make sure all dogs feel loved this holiday season. 

Whatever your holiday traditions may be, one thing remains consistent: our dogs are family, and they deserve to be part of them. Milk & Cookies by Brutus Broth is the fun and festive way to include your dog in the holiday joy and give you peace of mind that you are feeding them only high-quality, functional ingredients.
