Any dog owner knows Christmas gift shopping for their pup means serious business. Dogs are our faithful friends through the January blues, Easter hunting, summer adventuring and autumnal-leaf-pile-jumping, so it’s not a question of will they get a gift this year — but what. What to get your dog this Christmas? Tough question. We have the answer — a Christmas dinner, with a twist.
Contrary to popular belief, feeding your dog Christmas dinner leftovers can be fairly dangerous. According to survey research by premium dog food brand Forthglade (interviewing 2,000 pet owners), although 56% of dog owners understand the dangers of feeding their pets human foods, more than two-thirds were still planning to dish up Christmas dinner leftovers to their canine companions. Of those surveyed, 15% also admitted to having previously sought veterinary advice on Boxing Day, as their dog had become so unwell. So is there a way to include your canine friend in the festive food celebrations? Yes, with Forthglade’s Christmas Dog Food range.
From turkey-flavoured treats to tasty wet dog food recipes that feature Christmas flavours like turkey, beef and lamb, Forthglade will have your dog’s stocking filled up in no time. And for that all important Christmas lunch, they won't be pining at the table for your scraps. Indeed, they'll have their own meal to eat, with the limited edition Dog Christmas dinner wet food. Let’s have a look at the collection, shall we? Bone appétit!

Forthglade reviews: does their Christmas dog food live up to the hype?
Reviews for the brand are overwhelmingly positive, which, as dog owners, makes us feel safe and secure that we are feeding our dogs the best thing possible. Jay says: "Bought this for crimbo dinner for the dog. The treats are going down really well, and have tried the first tray and he licks his bowl clean, so overall a barking success! If the dog is happy, we're happy. Recommended!"
Meanwhile, Lynette notes: "My dog is very picky with her food. There is very little she will eat and not turn her nose up after a bowl or two. She loved the Christmas range last year. Hopefully it will go down well again this year. This deal was too good to pass up." We think it’s safe to say that your pup will be mutts about Forthglade.
