Healthy Dog Treat Recipes Ingredients



Healthy Ingredients Healthy dog treat recipes need healthy ingredients! More and more people are making home made dog treats to supplement a healthy dog diet. Use these ingredients for our all natural dog treat recipes.

It just makes sense! Healthy ingredients are very important if you want to make healthy treats! And healthy dog treats are an important supplement to a healthy dog diet.

Back in the 1970's you had to do some shopping around to find natural, healthy ingredients for all natural dog treats. You never found them in the neighborhood food store. They were only found in health food stores and specialty shops.

But--the good news is that it’s not hard to do find natural ingredients for healthy dog treat recipes anymore. If you walk into the baking section of almost any grocery store, you will find a lot of the wholesome ingredients that I’ve listed below.

Some of the fancier groceries even have a better selection of organic and healthy ingredients. There are whole sections of nutritious and organic products that you can use to make your own homemade dog treats.

But you don't need to include exotic foods in your healthy dog treat recipes--if you just stick to wholesome items like whole wheat flour or rye flour, you will be able to make good, nutritious natural dog treats (from our healthy dog treat recipes) that are SAFE for your pet!

One advantage of making home made dog treats is that you don’t use chemical additives or preservatives. And if you buy your food locally it is easy to make sure that it is grown in the U.S.—not imported from China or some other country whose standards of quality may not be as high as ours.

Organic Dog Treats

I just read the other day that, in some countries, it is now possible to “purchase” a certificate that states that a product is “organic”--for about $10,000.

So, for a large company with unlimited resources, it is possible to falsely state that the item that you are purchasing is “organic”. That’s why it is best to buy healthy ingredients that are grown and processed in the United States.

This way you can be sure that the natural foods that you are purchasing are exactly what the label states. A certification of "organic" means just what it says!

Mystery Ingredients

Oh, yes. The other ingredients that you want to leave out of your homemade doggie treats are “body parts” and other unidentifiable parts from the slaughter house. I'm not sure that anyone could stretch the truth far enough to call those ingredients "healthy". We’ll leave it at that!

Healthy Ingredients for Healthy Dog Treats Recipes

So…Here is a list of all natural ingredients that are good for your dog. I’ve put them in alphabetical order so that you can find them easily.

    This is not every single natural treat ingredient that you can use in your homemade healthy dog treat recipes...but it should get you off to a good start.

    Experiment with new ingredients for your healthy dog treat recipes. You may need to add a little flour or liquid to make your dough "just right". But it won't be long before you feel like a real professional pet baker!
