There is a certain softness to the final weeks of the year, the quiet shift in light, the familiar scents returning to the kitchen, the instinctive desire to slow down. This is the season when even the simplest gestures take on meaning. Merry Mix was created precisely for these moments: when a warm kitchen, a calm evening, and the presence of your dog come together to form a small ritual that feels both comforting and special.

A Seasonal Creation Rooted in Thoughtfulness

Every LOONAWELL product begins with a simple question: What does this bring to a dog’s wellbeing?
Merry Mix extends that philosophy into the holiday season, blending nourishment with a sense of ritual.

At the heart of Merry Mix are two elements:

  • Merry Magic Treats, hand-crafted and baked for your dog in small batches

  • Merry Pumpkin Compote, a soft, warming blend for your dog, made for dipping, drizzling, or offering gently by the spoon

They were designed not just to taste wonderful, but to create a shared moment, the kind of interaction that makes dogs feel included in the rhythms and pleasures of the season.

The treats are built around ingredients that belong to this time of year. Their composition reads almost like a seasonal recipe passed down through a family kitchen:

  • Organic pumpkin and apples give natural sweetness, fibre, and familiar comfort 
  • Buckwheat flour, nutrient-dense and gluten-free, supports dogs with sensitivities
  • Coconut milk adds moisture and richness without heaviness
  • Pumpkin seeds introduce minerals and a gentle earthy crunch
  • Cinnamon, anise, cumin, and Moroccan mint form an aromatic blend that is both festive and digestive-friendly

Each treat is rolled, cut, and baked slowly to protect flavour and texture. The result is lightly crisp, subtly spiced, and fragrant enough to make dogs pause, sniff, and savour. It is a treat that feels special, yet remains grounded in clean, honest ingredients.

Merry Pumpkin Compote: A Spoonful of Seasonal Warmth

If the treat is the celebration, the compote is the moment of comfort.

Inspired by winter kitchens, soft fruit, warm spices, calming herbs, the compote brings together:

  • Apple and pumpkin for natural sweetness
  • Lemon for brightness
  • Chamomile for calm
  • Ginger for digestive support
  • Cinnamon for warmth and seasonal character

The texture is smooth and spoonable: thick enough to cling elegantly to a treat, soft enough to drizzle or blend into a small dessert moment. It is designed to complement the cookie’s crispness and elevate it into a shared tasting experience.

Dogs are attentive to rituals. They understand slowness, tone, intention. Offering a hand-crafted treat dipped into a gently spiced compote creates a moment that feels personal, almost ceremonial, a small act that expresses affection more clearly than words.

A Nutritional Profile With Holiday Comfort in Mind

As with all LOONAWELL creations, flavour never stands alone. Every ingredient plays a role in supporting your dog’s wellbeing:

  • Pumpkin promotes healthy digestion
  • Apples provide natural antioxidants
  • Buckwheat flour contributes minerals and amino acids
  • Chamomile and ginger help soothe the stomach
  • Pumpkin seeds offer healthy fats and essential micronutrients

There are no added sugars, no preservatives, no artificial colourings or aromas. Only whole, thoughtful ingredients prepared in our facility in Zurich, where we maintain full control over sourcing, processing, and quality.

The result is a treat that feels indulgent but remains anchored in nutrition, a way of celebrating your dog without compromising on their health.

The Pleasure of a Shared Moment

Many dog owners instinctively share small rituals with their dogs: a piece of fruit while cutting breakfast, a spoonful of yogurt, a quiet moment at the table during the holidays. These gestures, though tiny, hold emotional weight.

Merry Mix was created precisely for these moments. It is less about the treat itself and more about the atmosphere around it, the anticipation in your dog’s eyes, the soft clink of a spoon against the compote jar, the slow dipping of the cookie, the gentle offering of your hand.

In a month when everything moves quickly, the year ending, preparations piling up, days passing faster than we expect, this small ritual encourages us to pause.

It reminds us that dogs do not measure the season by gifts or decorations, but by attention, presence, and the kindness of shared experiences.

A Gift That Feels Personal

The holidays bring many gestures, but the ones that stay with us are those that carry intention. Merry Mix is crafted to be one of those gestures: a thoughtful box designed not for extravagance, but for connection.

It is:

  • A treat that fits into a cosy evening
  • A spoonful that warms the season
  • A moment that belongs only to you and your dog

Its aesthetic is understated, seasonal, and elegant — the kind of gift you might place next to a cup of tea, open slowly, and enjoy in the unhurried rhythm of December days.

A Holiday Invitation to Slow Down

In the end, Merry Mix is more than the sum of its ingredients. It is a small reminder that the most meaningful moments with our dogs rarely come from new toys or grand gestures, but from the quiet rituals that weave themselves into our daily lives.

A hand-baked treat.
 A spoonful of gently spiced compote.
 A dog who knows that this moment was made just for them.

This is the heart of Merry Mix, a simple, tender celebration of companionship during the most comforting season of the year.

Merry Mix is available only as a seasonal limited edition, crafted once a year, for the holiday weeks when small moments matter most.

If you wish to bring Merry Mix into your home, you can discover it here and enjoy the ritual at your own table.
