Carob Chips as Dog Treat Ingredients

Carob chips make a great chocolate substitute in homemade dog treats. Chocolate and dogs simply do not mix! Consider zipping up your homemade pet treats with these chocolate-substitute chips or carob powder.

As good as they taste, you'll also be adding healthy roughage and nutrition to your homemade dog treat recipes.

What's more--it takes a chocolaholic to tell the difference!

These chocolate-like chips are made from carob powder, barley malt, corn malt and lecithin. And they are shaped just like chocolate chips. They come in two versions—one with sugar and the other without sugar.

The chips with carob that I use in my recipes contain no sugar and they are actually quite good for your pet! They are rich in nutrients and roughage and they have the same benefits that are discussed on the page about carob powder.

Since dogs and chocolate definitely do not mix well, and chocolate can be a food toxic to dogs , it's nice to know that there is a good substitute for chocolate.

The chips are a wonderful healthy dog treats ingredient that you can add to pet cookies and other dog treats!

Here's an easy healthy dog treat recipe for cookies with chips.

Kind of like chocolate chip cookies!

These healthy chips are just one of many ingredients that you can use to boost the flavor and nutrients in your homemade dog treats recipes. You can read more about healthy dog treat ingredients , or you can see more at dog nutrition.

Experiment a bit with your homemade dog treat recipes. These healthy chips go very nicely with some of my easy dog treats recipes like those for drop cookies such as Peanut Oat Drop Cookies or the Doggie Energy Bars.

Carob also is a nice complement to oats and oat flour. Use your imagination. I know you'll come up with the perfect dog treat for your dog!
