Chickpeas for Pooches I'm not that crazy about the flavor or texture of chickpeas, but my pooch sure loves them mixed in with her dog food. I also make her homemade chickpea dog chow and treats that she truly enjoys and begs for. Today, I will be going over why chickpeas are healthy to cook for your pooch and how to cook them simply for your loyal companion. When dried chickpeas are cooked plain, with no additives, such as salt, chickpeas are highly nutritious for dogs to eat.  Chickpeas are quite often used in several natural brands of commercial pet food, such as Taste of the Wild, Boss Dog, Paw Tree, Nulo Freestyle, Nutro Limited Ingredient, Nutro Max, Halo Holistic, Rachel Ray, Dogswell, Zignature, Grandma Lucy's, Canidae Grain Free Pure, Tiki, and so many more. One cup of chickpeas has 14.5 grams of protein, 12.5 grams of fiber, and 45 grams of carbohydrates. They also contain calcium, magnesium, folate, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Feeding your dog chic...

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Dog Treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you. After-all, your furry companions deserve healthy food, so that they can be their best selves. These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes. So, I use three different cookie cutters when I make these dog treats. Plus, using different cookie cutter sizes also allows me to make good use of the leftover dough pieces. The three shapes that I am using for this recipe are a gingerbread man, a star, and a flower-shaped cookie cutter. (I use regular cookie cutters to make mine.) If you don't have any cookie cutters, that's okay too. After rolling out the dough, cut it into squared-shaped pieces, or use a...

Sweet Potato Dog Treats Posted: 15 Oct 2021 06:50 AM PDT Sweet Potato dog treats I originally came up with this sweet potato dog treats recipe when I had rescued a female Boxer dog and her litter of 5 puppies. This bunch of Boxer pups truly loved to eat. So I always needed nutritious dog treats on hand to feed the motley crew. The original sweet potato dog treat recipe worked out well, but I wanted to add additional flavors and protein to them. So I began adding a jar of all-natural peanut butter to my recipe. The puppies loved them. Today, I still find the time to bake a batch of treats for Princess (the Boxer puppy I kept). Ingredients: 4 large sweet potatoes Water, enough to boil the potatoes in 1 large egg 3 cups of flour 1 ½ cups of all-natural peanut butter Instructions: In a large pot add the sweet potatoes and water. Cook the potatoes, until they're fork-tender. Drain the remaining water off of the potatoes in a collider when they're cooked. Next, add the sw...
