#BLUESantaSnacks Make A Perfect Holiday Gift For Your Dog!

Santa? Is that you?

And we picked up a few cans of the BLUE Santa Stew and BLUE Santa Snacks to sample. Both items are part of Blue Buffalo's Seasonal Sensations line that also include holiday items celebrating Valentine's Day, Independence Day and Halloween. But hurry, #BLUESantaSnacks and BLUE Santa Stew will only be available for a limited time at PetSmart.

Here I am trying to beg a BLUE Santa Snack from one of the PetSmart employees—can't blame a fella for trying!

We think it's great that Blue Buffalo makes holiday themed food and treats for us dogs because we're part of the family, after all. If you cook and bake holiday specialties for your two-legged friends and family members, shouldn't your four-legged best buddies be able to join in the fun? We've long advocated that pets should be as fully integrated into as many family activities as possible. It only makes sense—we're social creatures and we love being with you, our parental units!

And Blue Buffalo makes it easy with #BLUESantaSnacks. They're baked to a lovely crunch with oatmeal and cinnamon and other natural ingredients, and they come in festive shapes like stars, Christmas trees and gingerbread men.

BLUE Santa Snacks grain-free dog treats make perfect stocking stuffers for your canine companions, if we may say so ourselves...

I'm waiting for you to tell me it's O.K. to dive in, Parental Unit!

I got to sample the BLUE Santa Stew Holiday Feast, too, and it is indeed a holiday feast that includes big chunks of turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberries. Parental Unit mixed it with my kibble and it was delicious!

Since we live in an urban neighborhood, I always join Parental Unit when she visits the local shops—year round. But it's particularly festive during the holiday season, and every shop (even the banks) have special treats for us dogs. Believe me, I make sure we make the rounds nearly every day!

At home, I always get presents and something special to eat during the holidays. How about you?

#BLUESantaSnacks Are On Every Dog's Holiday Wish List!

This post is sponsored by Blue BuffaloTM and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about BLUE Santa Snacks, but Bocci's Beefs only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Blue Buffalo is not responsible for the content of this article.

Raise your paws if your Parental Units give you wrapped gifts for the holidays, along with special food and treats whether you've been naughty or nice during the year Hey, mine does, too! (Humans are such ~~forgetful~~ forgiving creatures, aren't they?).

We also bet you join your humans on holiday shopping sprees because, you know, it's hip for pet parents to include their four-legged family members in as many of their daily activities as possible. That's why Parental Unit almost always takes me along on her shopping trips to PetSmart. Once she heard about BLUE Santa Snacks, the limited edition, holiday-inspired treats from the good folks at Blue BuffaloTM, we both rushed to our closest PetSmart to see what all the fuss was about.

What a holiday display! To the left: Parental Unit and me, bags of BLUE Santa Snacks; To the right: Cans of BLUE Santa Stew Holiday Feast. No, we are not part of the official Blue Buffalo display...

BLUE Santa Snacks are grain free dog treats baked to a delightful crisp and include dog-healthy seasonal ingredients like pumpkin, carrots and cinnamon, along with a satisfying boost of oatmeal, barley and flaxseed. And like all Blue treats, Santa Snacks have NO chicken or poultry by-product meals, wheat or soy. And they're even fashioned into holiday shapes like stars, Christmas trees and gingerbread men—guaranteed to get both you humans and us dogs in the holiday spirit.

There's no doubt that we dogs are officially part of our families, and it just so happens that at Blue Buffalo they say, "Love them like Family. Feed them like Family." And what better way to celebrate the holidays and foster that special bond with your dogs than to offer them healthy dog treats?

I bet if I give her my paw and stare into her eyes, this nice PetSmart lady will give me a treat...
