Hey Grace, I’m planning a chill backyard bar for the weekend but I want it to be pet‑friendly. Got any suggestions on drinks or snacks that would keep the pups happy?

Hey! For a pet‑friendly backyard bar, keep the drinks mostly water or a little low‑sodium beef or chicken broth for the pups to sip. If you want something a bit more fun, try a homemade “dog‑friendly” ice‑cream made with plain yogurt and a splash of pumpkin puree—just make sure there’s no xylitol or chocolate. Snacks are great with fresh carrot sticks, apple slices (no seeds), or plain boiled chicken pieces. A little peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol‑free) spread on a slice of whole‑wheat bread is a treat that most dogs love. Just stay away from grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, and anything with artificial sweeteners, and you’ll have a safe, tail‑wagging good time!

Sounds like a plan! Water’s always the star, and broth will keep them hydrated. The yogurt‑pumpkin ice‑cream is a clever touch—just watch the ingredients. Carrots, apples, chicken are classics. Peanut butter on whole‑wheat is a crowd‑pleaser too, just double‑check it’s xylitol‑free. Keep the grapes, raisins, onions, garlic and any artificial sweeteners out, and you’ll have a safe, fun night for everyone. Enjoy the tail‑wagging vibes!

Sounds wonderful! Just a gentle reminder to keep an eye on the dogs’ reactions—sometimes a new treat can be a little too strong. If you notice any discomfort, swap it out. Have a fantastic, paws‑friendly evening!

Got it—will keep a close eye on them, no worries. Cheers to a chill, paws‑friendly night!

Cheers! I hope everyone, fur and human alike, has a great time. If any pup needs a quick cuddle break, just let me know. Have fun!
Brom
Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out and send out cuddle calls if needed. Have a great night, everyone!
