Kirby is on a low fat diet of sorts so I decided turkey bacon would be a better choice since the calorie count using real bacon and brown sugar would be 35 calories each with 20 calories from fat. Remember these are treats so feed sparingly.
Read MoreThese were a huge hit! Of course I knew they would be considering they have bacon AND maple syrup. Kirby loves them but what tickled me the most was watching Jilly Bean, our current foster, run around the house carrying a treat in her mouth. She was so excited I'm not sure she knew what to do with it.
Read MorePumpkin is considered one of the top foods for both humans and dogs for good reason. It’s packed with vitamin A, potassium, and iron. It works as a remedy for both loose stools and constipation. Pumpkin is usually hard to find outside the fall months so I stock up cans of this power food while it's available.
Read MoreKirby "the carnivore" loves his meaty jerky whether it be chicken, beef, venison, or fish! I'm always testing new flavor combinations trying to utilize ingredients that are not only tasty but provide healthy benefits for his body. Once I clean the chicken breasts removing all the fat and silvery membrane I like to slice them horizontally so I have long thin slices. They will shrink a lot as they dehydrate.
Read MoreThese delicious no bake dog treats are packed with quinoa, the super food, and peanut butter made especially for those dogs needing to gain some weight or as a once in a while treat.
Read MoreI just made a Maple Banana Bread which was so delish! The aroma, the texture, the flavor, I thought why not turn it into a dog treat. Trying to decide what flour to use I finally decided to just leave it out to see what would happen. Bananas work well as a replacement for eggs to bind together but to really make the mixture stay together I used ground flax seed in place of the vegetable oil. It worked out quite well for a crispy, chewy treat which, by the way, Kirby has been forced to share with the human members of his pack.
Read MoreButternut squash provides about one-third of the Daily Value of vitamin C in every cup and contains vitamins B1, B3, B6, pantothenic acid, and folate. It's a great fall side dish and a perfect ingredient to be used in casseroles. The sweetness of butternut squash also makes it an excellent ingredient for treats.
