Organic Home Made Dog Food Treats
It's no secret that home made dog food and dog treats from your kitchen are much better for your canine pal than the junk found in most commercial brands.
The thing that keeps a lot of people from making their own organic dog treats is a perceived lack of time.
In today's fast paced world, it's hard enough to feed ourselves right.
The thought of taking time to create our own healthy dog food just doesn't seem practical.
Much of my research lately has been devoted to holistic dog food recipes that contain no preservatives, fillers and dyes.
These recipes are good for your dog and surprisingly easy to make.
If you have a big dog family, double or triple the following fresh ingredients, pull out a few more pans...
and in an hour, you've got enough healthy, home made dog food meals and treats to feed your canine pals for a while.
Freeze them and they'll last for a month or more, depending on how many dogs you have.
Here's one of our favorites.
My dog Zac and I flip a coin over who gets the first treat.
He always loses.
This is a closely guarded, secret dog treat recipe that has been handed down through generations of Zac's doggie family.
Legend and lore has it that Zac's great, great, great grandma would have won a blue ribbon at the county fair for these home made dog food cookies...
IF these freshly baked treats had made it to the fair.
Unfortunately, we'll never know.
Zac's great, great grand daddy, just a sneaky little pup atthe time, was asked to carry them out to the truck.
You can imagine the rest of the story.
Not even a crumb left.
Organic Dog Treats: Peanut Butter Surprise Secret Ingredients: * One and 1/2 cups brown rice flour * Two cups rolled oats (not the instant kind) * One extra large egg * One cup of unsalted peanut butter * Three heaping tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce * One quarter cup of honey * One eighth cup of water Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly for at least two minutes, using a hand dough blender or large, long handled mixing spoon.
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 3/4 inch in diameter) and put them on an non-greased cookie sheet.
It doesn't matter if they're fairly close together, as home made dog food treats don't spread out while they're baking.
Press each dough ball down with your thumb to flatten it.
Put them in the oven and bake about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Keep some of these great organic dog treats in an airtight container and freeze the rest.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You and your dog can take turns licking the spoon or dough blender, as well as the bowl.
This is a bonding and togetherness thing.
It will give you and your pal many happy memories of making cookies together.
