When it comes to the Drummond households, gifting is extended to every member of the family―including the dogs! Ree's daughter Alex admitted to putting five presents under the Christmas tree last year for her doggo George. "Give them something that squeaks or something they can eat, and they'll be happy," she explains.
Ree even has a gift guide for pets this year with those two ideas in mind, and at the top of the list is the Dash Dog Treat Maker. The nifty device looks an awful lot like a waffle maker (and works the same way too!), but its bone-shaped molds will quickly clue you in that it is, in fact, canine-focused. In minutes, you'll be able to whip up eight fresh treats right at home.
It's easy to use, too: Just plug in the machine, add your batter of choice, and close the lid. The treats also release easily, thanks to a nonstick surface. Of course, you can't whip up a delicious, dog-approved batter without a recipe. Not to worry, it comes with recipes for both sweet and savory treats, all of which use whole ingredients like chicken and wild rice.
And take a look at the lid—how adorable is that pawprint pattern? It'd make for an excellent gift for dog dads and dog moms alike. Or, you could take a cue from Ree and buy one for yourself: "You could make homemade dog treats and then package them up in a little cellophane bag. How cute would that be?"
If that's not enough to convince you, you should also know that a portion of all of the proceeds from these treat makers will benefit animal rescue efforts at North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, New York. It's available at several different sites including Walmart.
So here's to treating your dogs this holiday season and treating yourself to the knowledge that those treats are actually good for them! And if you want a few other fun finds for your furry friends, shop some other top picks below.
