Homemade Dog Treats

Your pooches are your best friends. They cuddle you, dote on you, protect you and they’ll never let you down. I mean, if these guys don’t deserve some tasty homemade treats, I don’t know who does! Not only does making your own pet treats at home help spoil your pooch, it also allows you to accurately cater to their dietary requirements. Is your dog gluten-intolerant? Maybe they can’t eat wheat? Or need to lose a few pounds? Homemade treats are the best way to get healthy, nutritious snacks for your dogs, so here are a few great recipes to try out this week:(dog walking services nyc)

1. Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Peanut Butter is a great snack for most dogs and making delicious dog biscuits out of them is even better. Peanuts are rich in protein and their healthy fats and vitamins E and H will keep your dog’s coat healthy and looking great. The best type of peanut butter for dogs is smooth, unsalted and organic, especially if it’s a regular snack. Make sure your dog is not allergic to peanut butter because that may cause skin irritation, gastric problems and even hair loss. Now back to the recipe – these crunchy cookies look delicious and are honestly really quick, really easy and really healthy. Click here for the super easy recipe.

2. Vegan Protein Snacks

Sweet Potato is another great ingredient for dogs. They’re a great source of dietary fiber and are packed with vitamins. You can even cut them up and dehydrate them for great dog chews.
