HOMEMADE DOG TREATS (TANGO'S TREATS)



Homemade Dog Treats (Tango's Treats) image

My dogs--especially my puppy, Tango Foxtrot--loved carrots, apples, and peanut butter. So, for his first birthday, I combined Tango's favorite flavors into a special treat just for him. Make sure to use a natural peanut butter that does not contain added salt, sugar, or other ingredients. Keep extra treats stored in the fridge.

  • Keep it simple: Dog biscuits should be simple and easy to digest. Avoid complex recipes with a lot of ingredients or added sugars.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and nutritional value.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it hold its shape and prevents spreading.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Follow the recipe's baking instructions carefully to ensure the biscuits are cooked through but not overbaked.
  • Store properly: Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade dog biscuits are a delicious, healthy, and affordable way to show your furry friend how much you care. With a little time and effort, you can create customized treats that cater to your dog's unique tastes and dietary needs. So, grab your apron, gather your ingredients, and start baking! Remember, a balanced diet is essential for your dog's overall health. While homemade treats can be a special part of their diet, they should not replace a complete and balanced commercial dog food. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate amount of treats to give your dog based on their size, activity level, and dietary needs. Happy baking and happy tails!
