Homemade Treats for your Pup!!

Homemade Doggie Treats

Instead of buying a pet chain's or grocery store brand treats for your pets, why not make them yourself! You know exactly what your pooch is eating, no preservatives, and they are delish! (well, i imagine anyway...)

Ingredients:

• Two 15 oz. cans of organic mashed pure pumpkin 
• 3/4 cup cream of wheat (or rice cereal if wheat-sensitive)
• 3/4 cup Oatmeal 
• 1/3 cup applesauce 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Mix ingredients together in a bowl and spread onto cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm. When slightly cooled, cut with a bone or any fun cookie cutters! You can also use a pour into mini cupcake pan, or just use a teaspoon to pour little drops onto the sheet.

Your pets with love them!! Make a whole bunch for Homemade Holiday gifts for your family pets too!

Love your pets!

In a survery according to  APPA National Pet Owners Survey, we in the U.S. spend over 4.5 Billion on our pets in 2009 and it rose to 4.7 billion in 2010. Complaining about the economy, bicycling instead of driving to work, buying store brands instead of organic,  but when it comes to that wet nose on our cheek and the little guy playing with our shoelaces, only the best! As the biggest animal lover on the planet, this makes me more than happy! Check out these adorable paper products from Polka Dot design for more ways to induldge.
