Every pet parent shares a unique bond with his/her pets. While our pets shower us with a lot of unconditional love, we show our gratitude for their existence in our lives through little actions. And what better day to show love for your pet than on National Cook For Your Pet Day (1st November).

We all love our pets and want to provide the best for them. So in between all the treats bought from the supermarket, it’s always nice to offer our pets a nice and healthy home-cooked meal. Most pet parents today are concerned and conscious of the food they provide to their pets and where the ingredients of the food come from. The majority of the food we buy for our pets contain fillers or artificial preservatives. Thus, it’s advisable to offer them a natural diet to ensure that they remain in optimal health. Cooking for your pet at home gives you the option to provide only the best and healthiest food for your pet.  

Once you’ve decided to cook for your pet, the first step is to consult a vet. This is to ascertain your pet’s nutritional requirements and which ingredients to choose and which ones to avoid. The second step is to do some of your own research as well.

Cooking for your pet can be a joyful experience. Not only does it make you happy but it’s a delightful experience for your pets as well. National Cook For Your Pets Day is a great opportunity to shower some love on your furry friends and cook them a delicious meal.

1/4 cup unsweetened honey

1. Heat the sweet potato in a microwave on high mode till it becomes tender for. Around 5-6 minutes should be enough. Cut the potato into half, deskin and scoop the flesh into a bowl. After discarding the skin, mash the potato and keep about 1 cup of it for cooking. Store away the rest for future use.

1. Mix whole wheat flour, honey and eggs to the mashed potato and form a dough. Prepare a well-floured surface and turn the dough on it. Roll it to about ½-inch thickness. Cut the dough into cookie shapes with a cookie cutter or into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange the shaped dough on an ungreased baking paper. Grate some yak cheese on top.
