4 Recipes For Homemade Treats

Do you want your puppy to be part of the Christmas activities? Do you like to cook and want your dog to taste your delicacies? A good way to use food with dogs is as a reward when it comes to educating them. Homemade food is a good healthier alternative to cookies or pre-made bagged treats. Edible treats help the dog to internalize some behavioral guidelines such as not barking for attention, biting, pulling on the leash or climbing on top and bothering strangers. In this blog post we will recommend you four homemade doggie treat recipes that you can cook at home in a very easy and simple way.

  • CEREAL COOKIES

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of whole wheat flour (or white flour in case of intolerance)
  • 100 gr of oat flakes
  • 50 gr of butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest

*With these quantities you will be able to cook 40 pasta.

Elaboration of the recipe

The first thing you have to do is to mix all the ingredients until you get a homogeneous dough. With your hands, shape the small pieces of dough into cookies. Preheat the oven to 200 ºC, and without greasing, place the dough on a baking sheet on parchment paper. Bake them for 10-20 minutes until you see that the cookies are golden brown.
