You know who else can’t wait to eat sweet potatoes, turkey, and pumpkin pie? That’s right—your dog. But don’t just give them scraps off the table. There are some super healthy treats you can make for your pup using classic Thanksgiving ingredients that have real health benefits. We rounded up a few of our favorite recipes that your dog will definitely be thanking you for.

It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken

Who needs yams and marshmallows when your dog can snack on these sweet potato slices instead?

Baked Pumpkin Pie Muffins

Step aside pumpkin pie—this superfood is loaded with beta carotene, and is a natural remedy for upset pup stomachs.

Cranberry Biscuits
