recipe: peanut butter dog bone brunch bites

Recipe: Peanut Butter Dog Bone Brunch Bites

My dog’s best buddy is visiting, so doggie brunch is on the menu. We’ve already done waffles (yes, for dogs … check it out), so high tea canape-style dog bones it is. Peanut Butter Dog Bone Brunch Bites were easy to make and cut into bone shapes … but for the special day, I took […]

Recipe: Turtle Dog Treats with Coconut Milk

Recipe: ‘Turtle’ Dog Treats with Coconut Milk Coconut milk is fine for dogs to drink (or in this case, eat) and is a good substitute for dairy milk, which most dogs shouldn’t consume. Some sources suggest coconut milk helps a dog’s immune system and GI tract, but that’s still not conclusive. What is true is […]

Happy Valentines Day Dog Treat Recipe: Sweet Hearts for Your (Furry) Sweet Heart

Sweet Hearts for Your (Furry) Sweet Heart Quick easy little hearts and a way to use an over-ripe banana to boot, here’s one of the easiest dog treat recipes I’ve discovered yet – or maybe I’m getting better at baking for barkers.

Recipe: Cheesy Bread Dog Treat Squares

Cheese please. What pup doesn’t like taste of cheddar once in a while? Yes, I understand dairy isn’t the best thing for canine intestines so moderation is the key. And these are treats, right. The original version of this recipe suggested cutting the dough into strips, but admittedly that didn’t work for me. So I […]

Turmeric contains curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties and an anti-oxidant. It can help with pain, arthritis, and joint stiffness. However, the curcumin content in turmeric is not that high and people have to take higher concentration curcumin supplements to see any affect.

Happy Wolfenoot! November 23 is the first annual celebration (hopefully) of Wolfenoot embraced by dog lovers around the world. That’s right. Around the world. If you are kind to dogs, Wolfenoot is for you. Wolfenoot was created by a 7-year-old boy in New Zealand and shared by his mother, writer Jax Goss, on social media. […]

Recipe: Bananas Gone Bad Dog Treats

Ok, so the banana hasn’t gone bad exactly, but I’ve got one left that’s over ripe and I don’t feel like making banana muffins. Apparently, though, experimental dog treats aren’t out of the question. This recipe comes from my favourite inspiration: what’s about to go bad in the fridge? That’s usually how I determine dinner […]

Recipe: Apple Honey Pup Cakes

Always searching for new dog treat recipes to try? Me too. Baking for the pups is particularly satisfying because they’re the least critical critics. I’m also always looking for new dog treat recipe books. If you’ve written one, let me know. I’d like to be inspired because, well, I’d like to do the same. Here’s […]

Recipe: Apple Paws Dog Treats

Apple Paws Dog Treats These are currently one of my favourite dog treat recipes I’ve made yet, primarily because the paw-shape came out looking kind of cute. Are they my dog’s favourite? Not really. But he is a little picky. We ended up sharing them with some pooch pals. What you’ll need: 2 cups whole […]

Recipe: Cheesy Potluck Doggie Cookies

My dog Victor loves cheese. Most dogs do. It’s one of his favourite ‘people’ foods especially in a house of no meat (expect pet food). However, fat is an issue, and not because he’s over-weight. Victor’s getting older and has already had a pancreatitis scare – too much fat can set it off. So, that’s […]
