Your dog will love this Dog Char-Treat-Erie Board aka puppy party platter. Filled with all sorts of treats and a Probiotic Pumpkin Dip.
Our dog Banjo turns 15 this week.
That’s a big deal because his breed lifespan is 10-12 years old.
It’s also a big deal because he is in congestive heart failure.
Has pancreatitis.
He has bouts of IBS.
No teeth.
Deaf.
Has arthritis.
Chronic respiratory issues.
Hypothyroid.
Allergies.
Chronic eye and ear infections.
And yet, he is a happy, happy boy.
Yes, I know he is in pink but he is a boy.
He is in pink because it is his favorite.
For real.
Whenever you lay out a bunch of blankets to lay on he will always go to the pink one.
Same goes for dogs beds.
He always chooses the pink one.
So we embrace it.
The idea for this Dog Char-Treat-Erie Board came about when I kept seeing the giant board of people food.
And thought well, we aren’t having a party anytime soon.
But, we do have 6 dogs.
They could totally go for a puppy party platter.
So Banjo’s birthday seemed like a perfect excuse to give it a try.
While I would normally bake a treat or two we have been going out of our way during this time to support local businesses.
And so we got a lot of our dogs favorite treats from The Seattle Barkery.
As well as some of their favorite store bought treats.
But you can use whatever your dogs favorite treats are.
You can use any platter you want.
But I felt that a dog bone shaped one would be best.
Except they don’t make dog bone shaped platters.
So I had to look for dog mats.
This one (link is in the recipe) is a hard plastic and as you can see has a bit of a lip. It worked perfectly.
The platter also includes a Probiotic Pumpkin Dip.
Because sometimes when my dogs over do it on treats…they get tummy aches.
So in order to try and combat that I made this dip.
It’s unsweetened Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, probiotic powder, and a little ginger.

Did you use the large bone shaped dog mat or the small one?
Thanks for the great idea!
Peabody says
I used the big one because I have 6 pups. If you have less dogs go smaller.
