Why Make Home Made Dog Treats?
Why make home made dog treats? In addition to being easy and fun, homemade dog treat recipes can help you improve your dog’s nutrition by supplementing his diet with healthy dog treats!
The beauty of baking for your dog is that you control completely, the ingredients that go into her dog biscuits and cookies.
You can add healthy ingredients, use ingredients that are hypoallergenic and you can control the size and calories in each dog snack.
There are as many different ways to make healthy dog treats as there are different ways to make cookies.
You can make "drop cookies", "bar cookies", "biscuits", "cookie cutter cookies" and even treats in the shape of special baking pans for your dog.
Your dog will tell you if she like her new treats!
New Treats for Your Dog
Dogs experience their food differently from us. Taste is not the main event for them. Smell is!
Watch how your dog reacts when you give him a new kind of treat or food. He will spend time sniffing it. He’s getting a good idea of what it is.
He might also "play" with it for awhile—just to see how it acts when he moves it around. He might lick it or lick the coating or icing off the treat.
Dogs explore the world with their tongues and teeth. How soft is this new thing? What is it like when I lick or bite it?
The last thing your dog will do is eat the new treat. At this point he may gulp it down, or he may bite it into small pieces and then eat it quickly.
He will guard his new treat against “invaders” and will probably eat every last crumb. If your dog doesn’t eat the whole treat, he is telling you that this wasn’t one of his favorites.
By observing your dog when she eats the treats that you make for her, you can tell which ones she likes the best.
Home Made Dog Treats Flavors
Think of trying dog treat recipes, as an adventure with your dog.
Try different flavors. If you make a single batch of treats each time, you can try a different flavor every time you bake for your pet.
Watch your dog’s reaction carefully. Does she seem to like this one? Does she get excited when she sees you near the "treat jar" or "treat cupboard"? Does she eat this flavor treat quickly or just let it sit?
The experiment will be fun for both of you. Eventually, you will learn which dog recipes and flavors are her favorites!
