Chillin’ at Home: Special Social Isolation Dog Treat Recipe Roundup

Spring 2020 will go down in history as the year of social isolation, and we’ll likely remember our collective reactions differently (or maybe nostalgically, if this all works out). But for now, I’m relishing the time spent at home with my dog, Victor, and two cats, Sally and Daisy. Why not take this time to […]

Recipe: Dog Tracks Tuna Melts … with Spinach

Dog Tracks Tuna Melts Tuna isn’t just for kitties. My dog comes running when the can opener zips around a fishy can. I’ve been baking so many pet treats recently, I was inspired to create my own recipe – from scratch. From tuna juice, actually – that liquid that goes down the sink (or occasionally […]

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 […]

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: Extra Sweet Sweet Potato Dog Treats

Extra Sweet Sweet Potato Treats My little terrier/cocker cross Victor isn’t always impressed with my efforts to bake. He’s picky, and despite telling him tales about hungry dogs in far away countries (like those my mother told me about hungry kids), he’s unwavering. Until another dog wants his treat, or the cats come sniffing around. […]

Recipe: Spring Time (post-Easter) Doggie Donuts

Spring Time post-Easter Doggie Donuts Finally, I broke in my new donut baking mold. Now that I’m fulling obsessed with baking dog treat everything, I can’t stop buying baking supplies and cookie cutters. (Watch for the shoe-shaped dog biscuits coming up soon). But first, here’s some dog donuts I modified a dog cake recipe from […]

oat and banana bone-shaped dog biscuits

Pup Treat Recipe Day 5: Dog Bone-shaped Banana ‘n Oat Babysittin’ Biscuits

I’m a fortunate ‘pet mom.’ Not only because I share my life with one feisty cocker-cross named Victor and two beautiful felines Sally and Daisy, but because I have a flexible job that doesn’t keep me away from home for hours and hours at a time. Usually…. Some days I can’t avoid leaving Victor for […]

Pup Treat Recipe Day 4: Big Apple Dog Oat Pretzels

I love the idea of these dog treats – pup pretzels – but they’re challenging to execute. I found rolling the dough a struggle but I’m no baker. Make whatever shapes you’re able though I love these in a bag with a bow as a gift. Reminds me of visiting NYC during the Westminster Dog […]

dog eating pumpkin waffle

Spoiling the Dog with Pumpkin Waffles: Day 4

Yes, this is a recipe for dog waffles full of healthy pumpkin, rice flour (instead of wheat, so no gluten) and a squirt of that special waffle ingredient: salmon oil, because who doesn’t like a hint of fish with their waffle?
