Dog Treats and Cookies and Natural Dog Soft Treats
Dogs love treats and cookies. You
can get your dog to do practically anything in exchange for
a treat. To people, it is hard to imagine how dog treats
could possibly taste good, but give your dog anything from
a biscuit to a liver treat, and he'll be jumping through hoops
for you (maybe even literally!)
Natural DogTreats
Many treats, especially biscuits,
have fillers like wheat, soy and corn, which may cause allergies.
When looking for nutritious dog treats, look for natural dog
treats that are made from real meat and freeze-dried, such
as liver, beef or chicken treats. Freeze-drying removes moisture
and concentrates flavor.
Natural dog soft treats are preferred
by some dogs, especially older ones that may have difficulty
with their teeth. Natural soft dog treats are moist, easy
to chew and digest. They are also easier to break into smaller
pieces. You can find a variety of natural dog soft treats
on line. Brands include Wholesome Pets and Zukes Mini Naturals.

Dog Treats - Greenies
Greenies are a very popular dog treat, both
with dogs as well as their owners. Greenies are toothbrush
shaped dog treats with a semi-hard texture that eliminates
plaque and makes doggy breath go away. They are high protein,
low fat, contain no animal byproducts, preservatives or colors.
Greenies are naturally green from the chlorophyll they contain,
which is a natural deodorizer, and they are 100% edible. Dogs
LOVE them!
Baked Dog Treats and Cookies

a popular choice. Dog cookies, that is. There are specialty
bakeries that bake gormet dog treats and cookies to order.

made in different flavors, from peanut butter to cheese or
chicken, and formed into fun shapes, colors.
Making Dog Treats at Home
When
you make your own holiday treats, what about making holiday
dog treats while you're at it? There are several websites
that provide information on how to make dog treats. Making
dog treats at home is no more complicated than making people
cookies, you just need the right ingredients to appeal to

Here is a simple but tasty recipe for
peanut butter dog treats:
4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1/2 peanut butter
1 cup water
Combine all ingredients and kneed into a
ball. The dough should be stiff, not soft and sticky. Adust
the amount of water you add as necessary. Roll out and either
cut into squares with a knife or into shapes using a cookie
cutter. Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees. Turn off oven and leave
treats in oven until they are nice and hard.
