Easy Recipe For Homemade Dog Treats

| Comments (3)

fresh-homemade-dog-treats.jpg My dogs love these homemade dog treats...

After that dog food scare awhile back where some dogs were sickened or even died, Hubby & I made a decision that our dogs would no longer be fed commercial dog food, including their beloved dog biscuit treats.  This way, we’d know exactly what went into the food, and we’d also be able to easily steer clear of cornmeal, which is hard to avoid and seems to aggravate our dog’s allergies.

First stop: the Internet.  We looked at several sites that had dog treat recipes, and we gravitated towards these two:

We began with the Peanut Butter Puppy Poppers (very easy, only 4 ingredients) and Bacon Bits for Dogs (I never met a dog that didn’t like bacon) and Canine Carrot Cookies (my dogs adore carrots).

Then we set out to create our own homemade dog treats. We call our recipe: Peanut Butter Puppers.

 

Like Smoothies? Make 'Em For Your Dog, Too!

Frambozenbavarois-public-domain.jpg I don't watch the Rachel Ray Show much but I'm glad I channel surfed to her show today, because I learned how to make Pooch Smoothies!

They are ice cube sized popsicle treats for your dog (minus the stick). You might also call them Yogurt Cups for Pups... or Puppy Popsicles.

The best part: They're made with all the same ingredients you would use to make a Fruit Smoothie for yourself!

 

DogPause Food Bowls Help Dogs Eat More Slowly

dog-pause-dog-food-bowl.jpg You know it’s not healthy for people to eat too fast, and that’s also true for dogs. The same uncomfortable things can happen -- like gas, bloating, choking, even vomiting (nothing fun about that!). 

If your pooch is a gulper, the partitioned dog food bowl by DogPause might be the solution you’re looking for.

It's a fun way to get your dog to eat more slowly!

rachel-ray-and-her-dog-isaboo.jpgMany of you know that I've been honing my skills in the kitchen lately, and experimenting with a lot of new recipes -- including Rachel Ray's.

Well, it turns out she has quite a collection of dog-friendly recipes, too!

I haven't tried any of them myself yet, but I have to say... I think my dog would be quite pudgy if I served up all of the delicious treats that Rachel Ray lists in her Pet Archives.

  • Tenor hasn't really eaten moist dog foods much. He usually only gets dry dog food, so this was a special treat!
  • Our dog is doing fine 8 days after TPLO surgery. The bruising is mostly gone. Now his skin is just getting dry and itchy. He's wanting to lick his leg more than ever.
  • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
  • Dog peeing a couple days after TPLO surgery. He's always squatted like a girl to pee, rather than lifting his leg, so that's not unusual.
  • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
  • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
  • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
  • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
  • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
  • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
  • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
  • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
