Fall is the season of fun treats! And it’s not just treats for you—all our equine and canine companions can enjoy some fun fall flavors this season. While human treats often get the spotlight during this time of year, we can’t forget that horses, dogs, and other animals often love special treats just as much as we do. There are a lot of seasonal treats that are ideal for horses and dogs.
Of course, it’s good to know which treats are safe (and even beneficial) to give our animals. They’re also a great way to incorporate supplements into your animal’s diet. Some supplements can be easily added to feed, but some supplements may be given more directly. Or your animals may need a bit of encouragement. What kind of treats can you pair with herbs for horses and supplements for dogs? Here are three to consider.
Pumpkin Treats
Fall is the perfect time to enjoy some pumpkin treats! Pumpkin can be great for both horses and dogs alike—just like it’s great for you. It’s chock full of essential nutrients, including fiber, and it’s easy to turn into fun and delicious treats everyone is sure to love.
For us humans, we can enjoy everything from pumpkin pie to pumpkin bread. For horses, they can enjoy freshly prepared pumpkin. All you have to do is remove the hardest parts of the rind and cube the pumpkin into manageable pieces. Dogs can enjoy small pieces of cooked pumpkin added to their food or by themselves. You can also add pumpkin puree, without any additional ingredients, to their food. If your dog is on a deworming regimen, pumpkin can be a great way to get them to eat their natural dog dewormer!
Apple Treats
For a lot of folks, fall is prime apple season. From fresh apples right off the tree to apple pie right out of the oven, it’s hard to go wrong with apples. And who could forget apple cider? While these are a delight for us, apples can also be the ultimate treat for horses. You can give them cut-up apples or whole apples if they’re on the smaller side. Some dogs even love apples.
One of the great things about apples is their simplicity. There can be very little prep work before you give your horse an apple to enjoy. And because it’s apple season, it’s easy to find all kinds of fresh apples. Want to mix things up for your horse when you give them their horse dewormers? Add apples for a tasty experience!
Peppermint Treats
Every year, as the holidays approach, you find more treats made with peppermint. From mint candies to minty hot chocolate, peppermint can be enjoyed in all kinds of ways. Peppermint can also be great for horses. That said, it’s important to point out that peppermint is not suitable for dogs. In fact, it can be toxic!
For horses, you can give them fresh mint, supplements with peppermint, and treats with peppermint, like peppermint candies. As an herb, peppermint is known for its soothing qualities. It can be great for digestion, too. Just bear in mind, if you give them peppermint candies, stick to a rule of moderation so they don’t end up eating too much sugar.
