Holiday gifts for pets, what’s safe and fun?

Thinking of getting my dog and cat some edible holiday gifts this year. I saw stuff like pumpkin biscuits and chicken jerky, but IDK what else is safe. Also, I heard some herbs are good for pets? Anyone got suggestions? Wanna make sure I’m not giving them something bad lol.

Yeah, I got my cat some spinach last year and she actually loved it! Just put it in a glass of water—no fancy stuff needed lol.

Yup, plain! No ribbons or mint or anything—just let them munch on it.

For dogs, alfalfa and burdock are great for their immune system. Helps with arthritis too!

Yeah, you can chop it up and mix it into their food. Or just let them nibble on it fresh.

Cats actually love cantaloupe and watermelon too! Just don’t let them eat too much or they’ll be in the litter box forever lol.

Yeah, some of them go crazy for it! They like the smell of the amino acids in melons.

Fennel is a good one for dogs. Helps with digestion, especially if they sneak too many holiday treats.

That’s actually super useful, my dog always ends up getting extra snacks around the holidays lol.

Anyone know if basil is okay for dogs? I keep seeing mixed answers.
