She used Pinterest to find a recipe to base hers off of. She added whole wheat flour and an egg. I believe she also added a little peanut butter and some banana. Then she shaped the dough into dog bones, popped them in the oven and not long after had fresh dog treats to give her puppy. And let me just say, the dog had no complaints!
There are a lot of dog treat recipes out there. Ingredients such as; carrots, apples, pumpkin, sweet potato, and oatmeal are great! Whatever you decide to use, make sure it will not go bad and make sure the ingredients are safe for dogs!!!
One advantage to making your own dog treats is you know exactly what you are putting in it, which SHOULD mean it is very healthy. It may take more time and effort, but for me, it is worth it! You will have a happy, healthy dog. My daughter is into making things herself and I found a recipe off Pinterest by Homemade Dog Treats I thought she should try to make for her dog and well maybe for her too? It sounds so good!
Strawberry dog treats!
Ingredients
1⁄2 cup diced strawberries
1 banana
1 cup whole wheat flour
1⁄4 cup oatmeal
1/4cup plain Greek Yogurt
Directions
Mash the banana and strawberries. Then you add the flour, oatmeal and yogurt and stir until mixed thoroughly. Flatten dough to about 1⁄4 inch and then make the shapes however you please and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes (until golden and slightly soft). This recipe also says to store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. I must say, this sounds pretty good and I would probably give it a taste myself! I just talked with my daughter about this and I think she is going to make it here soon, when her other treats run out!
I am going to add one more recipe that sounds good

Scoop out small spoonfuls of dough and roll into balls on your hands (wet hands work best)
