Peanut Butter Dog Treats

My Dogs Love Peanut Butter Dog Treats

I have to believe that you love your dog or you wouldn’t be taking the time to read this short article about homemade dog treats. As the title implies, I think the best type of treats are the ones we make at home. These homemade treats are quick, easy and can be made by all the members of your family. 

As you consider what type of treats to make for your dog, remember that just because you like something, that doesn’t mean that it is good for your dog. Chocolate and corn are items that also fall into this category. As I was writing this, I learned that dogs, just like people, have food allergies. The most common food allergies in dogs are, in order; beef, dairy, chicken,
lamb, fish, eggs, corn and wheat. I know I just went off track a bit, but I was surprised to learn about allergies in dogs.

Now many of us create “special” dog treats from the foods we normally eat. I know my dogs like it when I cook on the grill much more than the rest of my family. Just keep in mind that your pet trusts you to think about what your feeding. So, as we share our treats with our dogs just use some common sense. 

If you have questions about any of the foods you use to create your homemade dog treats, contact your vet. 

Just wondering. Dog doesnt like anything store bought and would like to try making something myself to see if he likes it.

i dont have whole wheat flour and i was wondering if it is ok to use regular flower for a dogs biscuit recipe.

Yes you can use regular flour however if you are making biscuits for your pet’s health needs, always use wheat and nothing with gluten in it. No additives or preservatives either.
