Dog Biscuit Recipes

By Geraldine Dimarco


For most of us, our pets are seldom just animals-they are family. I mean, they stick by you no matter how you look or smell like; they are loyal and loving all the time. It's only natural that we feel so close to them and want to be good to them. If this is you, being good to them just got easier. Here are appetizing dog biscuit recipes that say "I love you" louder and clearer to your beloved pet.

Now, you may be asking, why would I want to make these homemade dog treats when I could just as easily run down to the grocery store and get a bag of processed pet food I can give to my pet? There are several of these products that are reasonably priced; but more than that-it's easy to open a bag and pour dry kibble into the dog's food dish.

While serving the store-bought feed is quite convenient for us, the homemade biscuits are indisputably better for the canine. Think about it, you can optimally manage his diet because you can choose the food that he eats; thereby making sure the right vitamins and nutrients are included in his diet. Aside from the health benefits of these homemade dog treats-- the dog's palate will also enjoy snacking on these better than the pre-packed, commercial pet food.

Making a batch of tasty dog biscuits isn't at all difficult to begin with. A lot of these recipes can actually be made together with the dishes and treats you prepare for your family. Take for instance, the humble cookie. There's nothing humble in how a good cookie melts in one's mouth. When you bake some, save a few pieces for the canine. Take care that your treats do not have ingredients toxic to dogs like chocolates, caffeine or raisins.

Why not include fruits like mangoes and banana in some of the sweeter biscuits you are planning to make? Add some texture to these creations with peanut butter and a few tablespoons of oatmeal. Don't limit yourself to what you can do, have fun! Bring in the kids to help you decorate it with funny shapes and pictures that they think the dog will enjoy.

You can also make treats that are more savory-and it's really easy to make. All you need is to bake some pieces of meat (chicken, turkey, beef, etc.) with a sprinkling of cheese on top until they're hard. Let them cool down before you serve it. Organ meat is also a good snack the doggie can munch on. Boil and cut up pieces of liver and heart for delicious and hassle-free nibblers.

Before you decide on any dog biscuit recipes, research the food that will be included. There are several ingredients that are hazardous to dogs. Also don't forget to consult with the vet when you create your pet's food plan. There might be some health concerns that an adjustment in his diet can correct. Now that everything is in order, go and enjoy this time with your furry friend-after all, there are few things more worth the effort than family.
