Does anyone give their pets a Christmas dinner (or Sunday roast?)

We always have, to both. So they will get some roast chicken etc. The dogs (when they were alive) used to love a roast potato.

Then first year I was with DH he was travelling abroad over Christmas so I made the dogs and I a full dinner. Found out that one of our dogs was a little crazy for prawns in a plain mayonnaise sauce. But they all loved a plate of meat, potatos and meat juices.

We only have cats right now but they get a portion of meat to themselves as well.

A babybel! What an epic hamster treat - I want to see him trying to carry it. My hamster has had yoghurt, pear and banana for breakfast today - she'd be beside herself with a babybel (but is a big fan of cor ish crackler too!). I love the fact that your hamster is always up for breakfast too - ours eats porridge from a teaspoon in the winter, woth a little piece of fruit to wash it down.

So cute! Ours likes porridge too. I'll have to cut the babybel up, he's not having the whole thing or he won't eat anything else for days. He likes a bit of scrambled egg and a corner of toast on a Sunday morning as well. Always up for breakfast and dinner with us. His cage is in the dining room so he literally eats his meals with us, he's a sociable little thing.

My girls get absolutely spoiled, they have a Sunday roast every week, I make them a cooked breakfast 2 or 3 times a week, and I go all out for them at Christmas too, presents and dinner and their own special pudding as well.

Love this . We had a St Bernard as kids but you don’t see many now .
