The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost upon us, and as with all holidays, we want to show you how you can celebrate it with your pets! Also known as the Moon Festival, this is a time for family, reunions, and giving thanks .

It’s a celebration of the rice harvest and many fruits, derived from the Chinese custom of worshipping the moon in autumn to thank it for the harvest. Like Thanksgiving in the US, it’s a time for families to reunite in thanks and unity.

Here are some fun ways you can commemorate it with your pet.

Enjoy a reunion dinner

As mentioned, this festival is all about gathering as a family, giving thanks, and praying for good health and happiness. If a big family dinner is on the cards why not include your pets, too?

Appreciate the full moon this Mid-Autumn Festival

The Moon Festival is, of course, very much about the moon! The full moon is a symbol of family reunions in Chinese culture and some say the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the brightest and the most beautiful.

If the weather allows, set a table outside and dine under the stars with moon cakes, snacks, fruits, and a pair of candles.  According to Chinese tradition, a fairy maiden named Chang’e lives on the moon with a cute rabbit. Some believe that by worshiping the moon, Chang’e may fulfill their wishes.

Make pet-friendly mooncakes

Of course, no Mid-Autumn Festival is complete without indulging in the traditional moon cake. Moon cakes are typically made using butter or vegetable oil, red bean or lotus seed paste, and because of their high fat and sugar content aren’t good for your pets.But don’t despair! There are some awesome pet-friendly versions you can make. Try sweet potato-based moon cake recipe for dogs. The recipe can be enjoyed by both dogs and cats.
