Homemade Dog Treats for Vegas
10/19/09 Filed in: Pet Treats
Has anyone noticed how expensive dog treats are these days? If you are an ingredient reader and are buying the treats with better ingredients, the price is outrageous. Vegas loves a particular brand of bones which are made out of all vegetables. She devoures them. Unfortunately, she doesn't get them very often because they are $16 for a bag of 6. That makes them more expensive than my protein bars!
So, I figured that I could make Vegas some healthy treats for a lot less. I read a lot of recipes that used a lot of things I didn't think Vegas needed, like sugar. So I experimented with some of her favorite flavors, like peanut butter and sweet potato. You can use any type of milk, I just happen to stock soy and almond and chose the soy. You can also use other flours, but I would stick with whole grain flours.
The picture is my Sweet Potato Oatmeal Dog Treats. I taste tested these treats by placing them down next to some store bought treats and the home made treats won! We could eat them as well, but we would find them bland without salt and spices.
Ingredients List:
1 cup oat flour
1 cup spelt flour
2/3 cup rolled oats
1 can sweet potato pulp
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup soy milk
Measure and mix your dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the wet ingredients. Mix all together. Drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool. Store in the refridgerator. You can also freeze some of the treats for later.
