Our pets depend on us to incorporate their proper nutritional needs into their diet. You don't have to be anywhere near an experienced dietician - or even an experienced cook to put together some healthy and tasty treats your pets will drool over. These recipes will have you saving money on store-bought treats, and they take almost no time at all!
Quick Tips to Get Started:
It's Actually Pretty Easy: Many recipes involve few ingredients, minimal baking expertise, and are completed in a short amount of time!
Ingredients: You have complete say in what goes into (and stays out of) your pets' treats - customize ingredients in your treats for their preferences and needs. As it is nice to know what exactly is going into our meals, it feels equally as good to know the ingredients of our pets diet.
Pet Differences: Our pets are all different breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it is as simple as wanting to bake a smaller treat since your pup has less demanding tummy, or focusing in on adding Vitamin A to support your cats' age - these decisions are up to you when choosing recipes and/or ingredients!
Special Needs: Of course we know that all of our furry friends are special, but some of their qualities require more special attention than others. Whether it be keeping an eye on their weight, alleviating joint pain, or improving their dental health, you can bake the biscuits with special additions to satisfy their specific needs.
There are some foods that we are used to that we should keep our pets away from. Luckily, most recipes pride themselves on simplicity. Sticking to the basics of flour, peanut butter, bananas, eggs, or other items you are aware that your pet has already been consuming. Make sure to stay away from any bad ingredients as well. Check out this list, breaking down what a dog should & should not have. It's always good to consult with your vet and tailor for your pet's specific dietary needs since not all are created equal!
