How do You Feel about Making Your Pets Celebrate Passover?

It is easy to say that everyone love springtime. The sun is usually shining, and the holidays just keep coming! This week in the Jewish religion is Passover, or also known as “Pesach.” To numerous people, this holiday includes not eating leavened bread for one week. But what does this mean for your pets?

During Passover, people do not eat leavened bread for one week. Matzah is the substitute for humans. Matzah is only made up of flour and water. The other thing about Matzah is, it does not rise like bread, that’s why it is called “unleavened bread.” Matzah is safe for your pets to eat, as well. However, what else can your pets eat that is Kosher for Passover?

Observant pet owners should always check the ingredients of their pet’s food. They should be looking for ingredients such as wheat, rye, oats, and barley. There are some approved dog and cat foods that are Kosher for Passover. Nutro, Evanger’s, Hill’s Science and Prescription Diet, and Friskies are all great companies who have Kosher choices for your pets.

Pet owners could try and make Kosher pet food for their pets with ingredients like vegetables, chicken, Kosher beef, tuna fish, and even rice. Just be sure that there is a lot of protein in the food that you make! Some pets very much enjoy homemade food. Pets also usually like eating some of the scraps from the Passover Sedar, but not too much!
We hope that you and your pets have a lovely Passover week!
