Top Organic Dog Treat Recipes

By Edna Booker


Sometimes it's nice to make your own dog snacks. There are an abundance of organic dog treat recipes for you to choose from. The most important thing to keep in mind when you cook for a dog is that you never use foods that can harm them. There foods that are commonly eaten by humans can be toxic and fatal for dogs. If you're unsure of an ingredient, check before you use it in a recipe. Chocolate, raisins, and onions are just a few of the foods that dogs cannot eat. Also be sure to choose all natural, organic ingredients when you shop.

Dogs don't need a lot of grains in their diet. Choose a whole grain flour instead of white flour. Add an egg, some applesauce, and a little peanut butter to a bowl. Mix it well. You then drop scoops onto a cookie tray and bake them for around 15 minutes. You're also able make these into no bake cookies by leaving them on waxed paper to set up. Just leave out the egg if you're going to do this.

If you find organic baby food on sale, pick some up for your pooch. Baby food is super healthy, it doesn't have the salt, or fat that adult food has. Add some chicken to these jars of baby food and you'll have a happy canine on your hands.

Holiday cookies baked in fun shapes are a hit with humans. You can make your pooch happy as well by using a cutter in the shape of a bone, or maybe even a cat. Roll out some pooch cookie dough made up of oats, peanut butter, and an egg, cut out shapes and bake them. These also make nice gifts for doggy friends.

Boil chicken and save the broth for treats. Cut up some cooked chicken, and add some broth and a small amount of flour to the bowl. Mix everything together and roll it into balls. These will last for a couple of days and can be given as treats, or added to the animal's regular food.

Here is another treat that can be made with boiled chicken. Shred chicken, put it in a bowl with some of the broth. Add flour, a tablespoon of cinnamon, and a small amount of oil. Mix everything well and drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake these for 15-20 minutes.

Make some doggy ice cream for those hot days of summer. After all, they want a refreshing treat just like people do. All you need for this is yogurt and some peanut butter. To aid in mixing, melt the peanut butter in the microwave first. Drop balls of this mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper until they are frozen. You can then put them into a bag inside your freezer.

Save money and ensure that you know exactly what your pet is eating, by making your own treats. You'll feel good knowing that you're giving your canine nutritious snacks, and your pooch will be happy to get every delicious thing that you make.
