National Black Pudding Day 2025

Now, if you’re anything like me, your initial thought was probably, “That’s great, but how does this involve my dog?” Because let’s be honest—no celebration is truly complete without our four-legged food critics getting in on the action. And given that my Cavapoo, Dolly, has the nose of a Michelin-starred chef and the appetite of a small horse, this day is basically Christmas, Easter, and her birthday rolled into one.

So, fellow dog owners, leash up your pups, grab your black puddings (yes, plural), and let’s explore how to make National Black Pudding Day 2025 an event for the whole family — dogs included!

What Is National Black Pudding Day?

For those unacquainted with this culinary marvel, black pudding is a type of blood sausage, beloved across the UK and beyond. Made from pig’s blood, oatmeal, and spices, it’s a hearty, iron-rich delight that has graced our breakfasts, pies, and posh restaurant menus for generations.

It’s a divisive delicacy—some love it, others (usually before they try it) turn their noses up. But do you know who doesn’t discriminate when it comes to food? Dogs.

Can Dogs Eat Black Pudding?

Before you start tossing chunks of the good stuff to your pooch, let’s get one thing straight: traditional black pudding, especially store-bought varieties, can be high in salt and fat—both of which aren’t ideal for dogs in large quantities.

But don’t despair! Enter our Black Pudding Dog Treat—a canine-friendly, tail-waggingly delicious snack designed specifically for your pup. These treats capture the rich, meaty taste of black pudding without the risky ingredients. That means your dog gets all the joy with none of the vet visits. Win-win!

How to Celebrate National Black Pudding Day with Your Dog

If you’re thinking, “Surely this is just an excuse for me to eat an entire fry-up while my dog watches,” you’re only half right. There are so many ways to make the day special for you and your doggo. Let’s dive in:

1. Cook a Dog-Friendly Black Pudding Breakfast

Start the day right with a homemade, dog-approved breakfast. While your plate might feature black pudding alongside bacon, eggs, and beans, your pup’s version can be a little different.

Here’s a simple Dog-Friendly Black Pudding Scramble:

  • 1 dog-friendly black pudding treat, crumbled

  • 1 scrambled egg (no butter or salt!)

  • A small handful of cooked sweet potato chunks

Mix it up and serve it in your dog’s favourite bowl. Expect lots of appreciative tail-wagging and possibly some dramatic “I’m starving” looks even after the meal is gone.

2. Take a Black Pudding Walk

A great feast calls for a great walk. Whether you opt for a countryside hike, a beach run, or just a trip to your local park, let your dog work up an appetite for round two of the festivities.

Bonus points if you pack some of our Black Pudding Dog Treats for a mid-walk snack. Extra bonus points if you wear a “Team Black Pudding” T-shirt just to spread the gospel of good taste.

3. Host a Black Pudding Paw-ty

Who says dogs can’t have dinner parties? Invite a few dog-owning friends over and throw a Black Pudding Paw-ty! Set up a tasting station with our dog-friendly black pudding treats, alongside other pup-safe goodies like:

For the human guests, you can go full Great British Breakfast mode and serve classic black pudding dishes, or for the more adventurous, black pudding Scotch eggs or tapas-style black pudding bites.

Expect chaos. Expect drool. Expect at least one dog attempting to make off with the entire snack table.

4. Bake Your Own Black Pudding Dog Biscuits

If you love a bit of kitchen time, why not try homemade black pudding dog biscuits? It’s surprisingly easy!

You’ll need:

  • 250g gram flour

  • 125g crumbled or chopped dog-friendly black pudding treats

  • 1 egg

  • 65g cooked and mashed sweet potato

  • A little water if needed

Mix, roll, cut into fun shapes, and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes. Your kitchen will smell incredible, and your dog will be parked at your feet waiting for the oven timer to beep.

Why Black Pudding Dog Treats Are a Must-Have

If your pup loves rich, meaty flavors, our Black Pudding Dog Treats are a game-changer. Specially formulated for dogs, they offer all the irresistible taste with none of the nasties. They’re perfect for training, special occasions, or simply bribing your dog to stop staring at you while you eat your own meal.

The Grand Finale: A Black Pudding Nap

After all the eating, running, playing, and possibly stealing unattended snacks, there’s only one way to end National Black Pudding Day: the legendary post-feast nap.

Expect your dog to curl up in their favourite spot, belly full, snoring gently, possibly dreaming of the next black pudding bonanza. You, too, may find yourself succumbing to the same fate (especially if you’ve overindulged in the full English).

Final Thoughts: Make It a Tradition!

National Black Pudding Day 2025 isn’t just about celebrating a delicious British classic—it’s about sharing it with our best furry friends. Whether it’s a special breakfast, a long walk, or a treat-fueled party, this is the perfect excuse to make some pawsome memories.
