The Best Homemade Dog Treats And Food Recipes

By Casandra Newton


Everyone loves their pet, this is true. As pet parents, we are constantly trying to find ways to show are fur babies exactly how much we love them. By making them homemade dog treats and food, you are doing just that. The following article will provide you with a few of the most popular recipes available. These recipes are sure to show your dog just how much you appreciate their devotion.

While there are tons of recipes available on the internet, there are a few that are most popular and have been tried and tested. When you choose a recipe, it is important to remember that you can alter the recipe to best suit your fur baby. Just be certain that all the ingredients you use are healthy for dogs, and that all meat is thoroughly cooked.

One simple recipe your pup is sure to love is Banana Treats. This recipe is quick and simple, too. All you have to do is mix 1 cup of dry oats, 1 egg, 1 banana, 1/3 cup of milk, and 1 cup of rice together in a bowl. When that is done, just spread the mixture onto a plate.

After the mixture is spread evenly, it will need to be cooked in the microwave for approximately 3 minutes. The exact time it will take to cook can very well vary depending on your microwave. When it is done, let it cool off, and then cut it into strips. It is now ready to give to your dog.

A popular homemade food recipe among pet owners is called Muttloaf. Mix together a pound of ground turkey with about a cup of chicken broth, about a half a cup of cottage cheese, and an egg. You may also choose to add finely chopped vegetables that your pup enjoys.

If you are altering the recipe, it is important to make sure you do not use garlic or onions. Both of these foods can be toxic to your pet. After everything is mixed well, bake it for about an hour at 350 degrees F. Once it is cooled, it can be fed to your pet.

If it is simplicity you are after, and do not want to have to use the stove, this next homemade dog treat recipe could be the perfect one for you. Making Peanut Butter Balls for your dog will take you no time at all, and they do not require being cooked. Mix a cup of peanut butter and a cup of oats with a half a cup of milk and you are set. All you have to do is roll it out into balls and you have your snacks. They remain good if refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.

There are many different reasons that more and more pet parents are choosing to feed their beloved animals homemade dog treats and food. Not only can it be cheaper, it often tastes better. It can also be much healthier than traditional dog food from the store.
