As you celebrate love, family, and delicious food this holiday season, don’t forget about the furry pups in your life, since everyone — dogs included — should celebrate Friendsgiving with friends that feel like family and Thanksgiving with loved ones this year. We’ve put together a simple guide to help you throw the best puppy celebration with your four-legged friends.
A Friendsgiving get together, or Dogsgiving, can be a simple meet-up during Thanksgiving week that lets your dogs see their other best friends and get some much-needed excited energy out, while having a delicious treat of course. You could meet with your furry friend’s dog owners at a local park, plan a hike, have a meet up in someone’s backyard, or plan a good old-fashioned walk. Each owner could then bring a special treat for the pups so they can also have a yummy feast of their own.
A Zoomie Play Time
One of the most important aspects of any Dogsgiving is zoomie play time, you know the one with the unmistakable explosions of energy. Plan enough time that the pups can run around, play keep away, and fetch, so they not only have a fun time but get all the energy out before the feast begins!
Treats And More Treats
Time to feast! And many treats and chews are needed to enjoy all around, especially after playing and running. Natural Farm creates all-natural dog treats and chews that are farmed responsibly and crafted with care from local suppliers of premium, ethically raised livestock. With a variety of options, you’ll find the perfect chew for your breed size and your dog’s chewing tendency.
We recommend light chewers turn to the Gullet Sticks for a full beef flavor with a softer texture of 100% natural beef esophagus. Picky pups, senior dogs and dogs with dental issues will have an easier time chewing and gnawing on these highly digestible chews. Packed with natural glucosamine and chondroitin, these chews support hip, joint and dental health.
For dogs that devour treats in record time, you need to try our Collagen Sticks. Made with just four ingredients from free-range cattle in Brazil, they make a perfect treat for medium to heavy chewers and last even longer than bully sticks. They’re filled with the best nutrients that support joint flexibility, bone strength, a shiny coat, and an active mind. Not to mention they’re also grain-free, hormone-free, and chemical-free, all while being odorless — which is always a win! With both six- and twelve-inch options, they’re the perfect long-lasting chew for dogs big and small.
Large and jumbo breeds who prefer to chew for hours need to try the savory Marrow Bones. As delicious as they are beneficial, they give dogs an outlet for the medium-to-aggressive chewer with gnawing for hours, releasing beneficial endorphins and scraping plaque from your dog’s teeth. Dogs also benefit from a dense source of collagen, glucosamine, and calcium for musculoskeletal support. This single-ingredient treat is made from 100% grass-fed Brazilian beef without artificial preservatives, synthetic fillers, or artificial additives.
Another option to make your dog’s holiday season paw-sitively delightful is through our Holiday Box that helps them discover their new favorite chews and treats. Featuring a wide assortment of premium chews, your pup is bound to adore these healthy treats full of endless flavor, enrichment, and entertainment.
Say Cheese?
Did it even happen if you didn’t capture it? Make sure to take lots of photos as your pup zooms around and then gnaws on one of their new favorite treats this Dogsgiving.
Friendsgiving is a great time to get all the best pups together! While owners feast, dogs can enjoy some treats and dog-safe thanksgiving foods. Remember though, owners should still monitor their dogs as they chew to ensure they're enjoying their goodies safely.

About Natural Farm
In 2018, after years of searching for high-quality, natural dog treat products, we decided to bring them to the market ourselves. That’s how Natural Farm was born—we wanted to present the industry with what it lacked the most: natural dog chews, treats, and bones, sustainably sourced from local suppliers and produced in our own human-grade, FDA- and USDA-approved facilities, where every product is lab tested for quality and contamination.
Natural Farm is committed to pets, people, and the planet. We give back to communities and pets in need, support reforestation efforts and nonprofits, and our products are packaged using only recycled materials.
