Pet-Friendly Mince Pies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sainsbury's Created Festive Mince Pies for Dogs

— November 27, 2019 — Lifestyle
For the holidays this season, Sainsbury's released a range of pet-friendly Christmas meals and snacks, including mince pies for dogs. The dog-friendly mince pies are sold in sets of two and are made with carob, a pet-friendly alternative to chocolate, and come topped with star-shaped turkey biscuits. The pet-pleasing treats take inspiration from a traditional seasonal treat and share a fun way to welcome pets into Christmas festivities.

For many pet owners, it's important to include their furry family members in their annual celebrations with special treats, toys and gifts. Young pet owners, in particular, are passionate about spoiling their pets, many of which spend more money on their animals than they do gifts for their own family members.
