Home-made treats

Store bought doggie biscuits are OK, but nothing beats home treats made with love and true care.

Dog bites

You can prepare healthy dog bites yourself and reward your dog for doing something correctly.

Prepare cheesy bites using a cup of flour, some cheese, butter and half a cup of milk. Mix the ingredients together to make the dough, than roll it our and cut it into shapes. Bake them for 15 minutes and you are ready.

Vegetable bones

Another easy and healthy recipe for tasty dog treats is the vegetable bones recipe. Unlike cats, dogs love vegetables.

Get some parsley, chopped carrots, cheese and olive oil, mix them with flour and baking powder and add some water. Roll the dough and cut shapes than bake for half and hour. This will give you hard biscuits that your dog will love. The recipe is very useful if you have a growing puppy as he can use the biscuits to massage his aching growing teethes.

Finally, a dog treat recipe that will benefit you as well!

As a dog owner you know that your dog’s breath is not one of his strong sides. Usually dogs have bad breath. Now you can fight it with a tasty dog treat.

All you need is some rice flour, one tablespoon of deactivated charcoal (you can buy it from any drugstore), three tablespoons canola oil, an egg, half a cup chopped fresh mint, and the same quantity chopped fresh parsley and a cup of milk. Mix these ingredients, get a teaspoon and make drops over an oily baking sheet. Then bake for 15 minutes. Give your dog some of these treats and you will soon feel the great advantage for his breath.
