Costumes have long been a playful way to include pets in Halloween festivities, but GivePet created its first-ever freeze-dried, Halloween-themed cat treats so that felines can enjoy the holiday alongside their humans in a different way. The Magic Paw-tion and Halloween Purr-ty treats for cats are made from salmon and chicken, respectively, and contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
Festive pet treats designed for specific holidays are in high demand as a fun, seasonal way to spoil furry companions. A new generation of pet parents sees pets as valued family members and wants ways to include them in celebrations with everything from special holiday meals to gift-giving traditions.
For each bag of treats sold, GivePet donates enough treats for 10 shelter pets to enjoy.
