How many of you are worried about your overweight pup? When training your dog, they tend to gain weight as a result of all the treats. Also, your dog can get a fever if he/she eats too many treats. This is a result of the excessive amount of dyes that the treats contain. My dog Rosie has recently suffered a fever from this exact cause!
The secret to fixing this problem is simple, homemade treats! They are fun to make, and nutritious for your companion! Also, there are several varieties of treats you can conduct so your dog won't get bored!
Massive Mastiff Munchy Muffins (for larger breeds)
2 carrots
2 3/4 cups water
1 egg 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 banana (can be substituted for an apple for a new flavor!)
4 cups whole wheat flour 1 tbs. baking powder
1 tbs. cinnamon
1 tbs. nutmeg
Preparation
Shred the carrot in a blender. Mix all wet ingredients together in a bowl, then add the pureed banana. Mix together thoroughly. Set aside. Combine the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together. Coat a 12 muffin pan with nonstick spray. Fill each muffin hole 3/4 full. Bake about 1 hr. at 350 degrees.
Peanut Butter Presents (for all breeds)
1/2 cup water (add more later if required)
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 tbs. peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup oats
Instructions
Blend wet ingredients together. Whisk dry ingredients together and mix into wet mixture to form a ball of dough. Roll out and shape (you can use cookie cutters). Put onto a non-stick cookie sheet. Cook for 20 min. at 400 F. Turn off oven but leave biscuits in to cool until crisp and hard. Store in airtight container.
Enjoy :-)
