Homemade Yogurt Cheese Recipe
Let's start with the simplest treats first, ones that consist of only ingredient.
Meat-based treats
- Hot dogs or salami sausages that are cut into small pieces make very easy homemade dog treats. If you are condition conscious, then look for the organic kind with low sodium. They are especially good for putting in a plastic baggie and doling out while training.
- Frozen raw chicken wings can serve as singular treats for larger dogs. They are also good for helping keep a dog's teeth clean. (Raw chicken bones appear to be okay for dogs to eat; it's the cooked kind that can splinter and cause problems).
- Raw beef marrow or oxtail bones are also a good treat that help keep plaque off teeth. Bones range in size from about two to four inches in diameter so they can be fed to any size dog.
- Leftover cooked meats can be cut up and fed as well and can also be good for training purposes.
- Our German Shepherd mix, Comet, often gets pieces of jerky when we go hiking. It's tough retention his nose out of our backpacks when we sit down!
Fruit or vegetable-based
You can pretty much call these Free homemade dog treats since your dog is likely to only eat a small portion.
- Slices of fruit and singular berries are items you might like to try with your dog. Comet enjoys apple slices on most days and will sometimes eat pieces of banana, mango, melon, orange, peach or lap up strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. Be meticulous with grapes and raisins as too many at once can lead to kidney failure.
- Spoonfuls of cooked yam, green beans, peas, lentils, spinach, carrot, potato or squash are often appreciated. Reconsider salvage some of these vegetables after a meal so that they can offer your dog a healthy treat the next day. Be sure to mash them up first.
Dairy or egg based
- Dollops of yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese or sour cream often go over well, as do slices of all separate types of cheeses.
- Pieces of cooked eggs or a very occasional raw egg can also be used to let your dog think he or she is getting something special. A plus is that eggs help a dog's skin and coat.
Simple combinations
An easy homemade dog treats recipe is to couple any item that forms a spread with some of the above.
- For example, you can put peanut butter or cream cheese on any of the fruit items.
- Also Reconsider adding liverwurst or salad dressing (just enough to contribute flavor) to fruit, sliced cheese, hardboiled eggs, or pieces of meat. I would propose sugar-free and sodium-free peanut butter if possible.
Although you can feed dogs things such as bread, crackers, whole kernel corn, rice and pasta, it is best only to feed these in very small amounts since their digestive ideas is not designed to deal with carbohydrates. Also, if your dog eats a kibble-based diet, she/he will most likely be receiving more than enough from that food group already. an additional one qoute with some of these foodstuffs is that they tend to stick to teeth and conduce to dental problems if you do not brush your dog's teeth afterwards.
Well, those are some of my ideas for easy homemade dog treats. If your dog is not used to eating a singular type of food, try him/her with a very small estimate first to make sure there are no allergies.
