Delicious Homemade Dog Treats

We have included some of our favorite dog treat recipes as well as popular dog biscuit recipes. Feel free to experiment with these by adding or subtracting ingredients to the taste of your pet. Contrary to popular belief, most pets have likes and dislikes when it comes to food, the same as a human.

It's important to know that there are some foods toxic to dogs . You should never include these foods in your recipes. Never use grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, mushrooms, raw potatoes, chocolate, nutmeg, sugar substitutes, onion or garlic(including flakes and powders.)

In addition, you should always discuss any major dietary changes with your veterinarian.

That having been said, these homemade dog treats are 100 times better for your dog than most store bought pet treats, if you consider most of them contain roadkill, preservatives and fillers--the same as the majority of dog foods.

In case you didn't know, we are highly vocal and supportive of holistic and organic dog foods. Our dog recipes shown below are no different. Whenever possible, obtain the highest quality ingredients and preferably organic. This will insure that your dog will be eating the healthiest and safest foods available.

Achieving a healthy dog diet and giving your dog healthy homemade dog treats doesn't have to be hard.

In fact, if you make your dog's treats, you know exactly what is in them.

Now, let's get to the good stuff, at least for your pet that is although some of these homemade dog treats are delicious for people as well. Just take a look at the ingredients and if it sounds appetizing then it probably is. Taste it for yourself first and then let your dog try it.

You know he'll be right there at your feet looking up at you with those sad puppy dog eyes until you do.
