Do you incorporate your dogs into your family’s holiday celebrations? Ever since Reya was a puppy, she has been involved with everything, ranging from opening gifts to being a kitchen ‘supervisor’ as both of her grandmas make Christmas dinner. Her favorite part, however, is being able to open her special doggy stocking, filled with stocking stuffers for dogs. For her, this usually means one or two toys, and a dog treat made with natural ingredients. While us humans may splurge a bit on our treats, Reya has always gotten healthy dog treats during the holidays. This year, Ivi gets to join in on the festivities and may even get a visit from Santa Paws! Of course, one treat that both the girls will find in their stocking this year is Blue Buffalo™’s special BLUE Santa Snacks™!
Never heard of these treats? These fun treats are made with high quality, natural ingredients, like other Blue Buffalo products pet parents have grown to trust. Blue Buffalo knows that us pet parents love having healthy dog treats available during the holidays, giving our dogs a fun way to celebrate the holidays with us. We personally love that the BLUE Santa Snacks since they are oven baked to perfection using nutritious ingredients, including:
- oatmeal
- cinnamon
- barley
- pumpkin
- flaxseed
- carrot
Seeing those ingredients, it isn’t too shocking that they drive dogs like Ivi and Reya wild! Best of all, these treats don’t contain corn, soy, or nasty chicken or poultry by-products. For dogs who like canned food, you can also get BLUE Santa Stew Holiday Feast, which contains turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, and cranberries. Due to Ivi’s turkey allergy though, we weren’t able to try these canned treat, but we are certain they are just as tasty as the BLUE Santa Snacks!
In all honesty, we just might have purchased some extra bags of BLUE Santa Snacks for the girls to try early, especially while they are ‘helping’ us wrap gifts for family. Ivi really doesn’t understand the whole ‘wrapping gifts’ part, but she is happy to help shred any unused wrapping paper! So far though, she seems to understand that holiday ‘cookies’ are an important part of the holidays. We are already getting ready for ‘Santa Paws’ in our household and she is all set for the arrival of Santa Paws with a dish of BLUE Santa Snacks and a bowl of goat’s milk. We are certain Santa Paws will love this Christmas snack just as much as her (as long as Reya doesn’t accidentally eat it first).
Would you like to purchase these healthy dog treats for your dog this holiday season? You can find the Blue Buffalo Seasonal Sensations line on the Blue Buffalo site or at your local PetSmart® in a holiday themed display at the front of your local store. Don’t forget, during other seasons, that they also have special treats to celebrate Halloween, Independence Day, and of course, Valentine’s Day!

I am so glad to see your spoiling my virtual pet. LOL. He is lucky to have you.
I love Blue Buffalo brand! It’s all I feed my dogs!
great
I have 2 Huskies and 7 parrots and they all get at least one Christmas Present each year.
I had never heard of these treats before! I love that the ingredients are all natural. These would make great gifts for all the fur babies! Thank you for sharing!
These treats are so cute for the holidays!
What a great way to involve my dog more! He has a stocking and gets little presents but that’s it right now! Thanks!
i like that these snacks are healthy and tasty for dogs and make a nice christmas gift for them. cute dogs in the photos. i have a chihuahua /terrier mix dog.
This dog real cute
These look like a great treat. i love that they are made with good wholesome ingredients. I don’t currently have a dog, but hope that changes soon. I will remember this brand when I do.
LOVE BLUE ! THESE ARE SO CUTE!! ALL NATURAL MAKES IT THE BEST TREATS FOR YOUR FUR BABIES! THANKS!
these are cute. im not sure i will be santa paws lol but its an idea
We don’t have a dog these days, but when we did I always bought him Christmas treats. These look like something I would have bought for him.
We always like to leave our pets a little treat too. Cute dog.
I have to say I never left out treat for the pup, but I didn’t have kids when I had my Yorkie. He’s pretty fussy with eating though. Great idea though.
Our dog loves tearing wrapping paper after we’ve opened gifts. He gets a doggie toy but I’ll have to look into buffalo blue for healthy snacks!
I love Blue Buffalo products. They really make a difference in my cats and dog.
Fun treats. Makes me wish I still had a dog.
I had never heard of these treats before but I think our pets will love them all natural is great!~
Love incorporating pets into the holidays!! They are family members too!! I’m loving the natural ingredients in these treats and food!!! Much better for animals than that weird china stuff!
So Cute! Love this kind of treats, I’ll plan on getting some for my dog and his friends. Thanks for sharing, the photo is wonderful.
She is ready for Santa Paws. But this company just settled a big lawsuit over their products, so iffy about them just like Wagon Train treats. Not sure about them yet.
These are cute & I’ve heard really good things about Blue brand. If I still had a dog, I would definitely try these.
I didn’t know they put flaxseed in these (my fave superfood). That’s great and good to know if the kids get a hold of these, they won’t kill ’em, lol.
Is it weird that the ingredients sound yummy to me lol!?!? That’s how you know it’s great food for your pup!! When youd eat it yourself 😉
Exactly! What is worse is they smell like cinnamon cookies!!!
I love the pictures of your dog and the treats!! I just love how you did this. My dog sometimes likes treats and other times doe not!!
I think Santa Paws is the cutest thing ever! Love this. I was just telling my mom, who has 3 big dogs, about Blue Buffalo. She is really excited.
Thanks for the Fantastic Review on Preparing for a Santa Paws Visit with #BLUESantaSnacks! Our “Babies” are always included in any holiday or get together we have! They are part of our family and loved so very much! I have never tried Blue treats, however, they do sound like something they would like! The next time I’m up that way (towards Pet Smart) I think I’ll get them The Oatmeal Cinnamon ones! They really aren’t big on treats, however, they love toys! Especially if they make noise! Thanks so much for sharing your Fantastic Review, the adorable pictures, and your personal & professional opinions on Preparing for a Santa Paws Visit with #BLUESantaSnacks with all of us! I truly honestly do appreciate it! Thanks again! Michele 🙂
Fun to share the holidays with pets.
These are cute treats. It is great that they have healthy treats available to give dogs at Christmas. I don’t have dogs but if I did would give these to them.
Honestly speaking, your dog is so adorable! If I had one I would definitely get them treats though, yours look like they’re enjoying it 😉
I will have to pass this along to someone I know who just got a dog, thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
What an adorable idea. We have two new puppies. I will have to try these.
I like they use barley and carrots in this product. It seems to help the dog’s digestion.
What nice high quality ingredients in these snacks. I would feel good giving these to my dogs.
I don’t have a dog but have heard nothing but good things about Blue Buffalo; I’m sure your girls will love their goodies from Santa!
Hmm I might have to try this with my dog.
I don’t have a dog right now, but I have in the past. and they were always included in the festivies. They got a gift to unwrap and special treats, after all they are our babies.
I love these treats! What healthy and natural snacks!
What a cute idea!! Love Blue!
They sound great. I bet my dogs would have loved them. RIP Pepper & Quazi
I don’t have a pet right now, but I like the idea of including pets in the Christmas festivities. Blues snacks would go over well with them, I think.
What would you do for a cat for Christmas?
I just bought a bag or two of these, need to find them to give to my Dog. Thanks for the Post, and the review.
These treats look very nice. Thanks for sharing!
We feed our pups nothing but Buffalo Blue food & treats! Rumor has it that Santa Paws is bringing them LOTS of treats because they are each on the NICE list this year! Plus he is bringing them lots of other goodies! We love Buffalo Blue because it is all natural & we wouldn’t feed our dogs anything we ourselves wouldn’t eat!
What a great stocking stuffer for my girl. I always love to add a little something for her on Christmas morning. I am going to look for the Santa Stew. I know she will absolutely love it.
I really want to try htese. With all of the recalls and issues with so many popular dog treat brands, I have been looking for some new suggestions. I hope my girl likes these!
This is such a great idea to include your pets as the family members that they are! It is the perfect way to let them in on the celebration too! I will definitely be adding this to our Christmas traditions for our best furry friends!
I love this idea, we normally leave bird seed I put into a reindeer feed bag I made, so my son thinks it’s reindeer food. Love this idea
my dogs would love these thanks for posting this
It is fun to share Christmas with our pets. I love the name Santa Paws that you use. My son and daughter in law hung up stockings for their 2 cats.
i love this. i like the ideas here. i think you can use these creativity more than christmas. thanks so much for the information.
