As pumpkins guard the porch and black cats steal the spotlight, your kitchen becomes the coziest corner of the week. Think warm bowls, crunchy bites, and treats that make tails wag. A simmering pot of pumpkin soup for you, a dollop of mashed sweet potato (no sugar, please!) for your pup — it’s the kind of meal that turns an ordinary Monday into a mini harvest celebration.
When you cook fall favorites, set aside a pet-safe portion before seasoning. Dogs love pure pumpkin, and cats might sneak a taste of roasted squash. Keep it simple, natural, and shared — that’s the heart of mindful mealtime.
🥣🐾 Here’s to a week of treats, not tricks — starting in the kitchen.
