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. Thanks to the lazypitbull.com for the basis of this recipe, I added the […]
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.

Also, apparently, black pepper helps people absorb curcumin. However, coconut oil is […]

Today, we continue our improving aging dog mobility series and this one’s easy: treats. But not just any treats…. Ok, these are not exactly treats – they are chews that look and sometimes taste like dog treats. However, there are specific dosages to give. For example, ActivPetz advices only one treat a day for dogs […]
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 […]
Oh Canada … PIJAC National Pet Industry Trade Show. Woof.
No question – the pet industry rocks. And it’s time to roll with the red and white but no blue … almost. Like SuperZoo in Vegas, the annual National Pet Industry Trade Show in Toronto is only open to those in the pet biz (and a few media members like dogtrotting.net). Unlike SuperZoo, it’s focused […]
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 […]
