RECIPES FOR HOMEMADE DOG TREATS

The days when dogs only ate what was left from the table are thankfully gone. Now it's the exact opposite - how many times do we prepare a royal feast for our pets, mainly for the furry ones to enjoy, and we pamper ourselves with bread and butter. These are our (and especially our dogs') most popular recipes, which you can use to prepare tasty homemade treats.

Since the dog's digestive system is sensitive and not all ingredients can sit well with the dog, make sure first that he is not allergic to any of them.

BISCUITS WITH TUNA

Fish oil is healthy for both humans and dogs, and tuna represents it in a delicious form. What is it good for? It contains protein and omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, which help in building muscles and are also beneficial for the eyes and heart. But don't overdo it with fish oil. If it does not come from a truly guaranteed source, it may contain a large amount of mercury, so give it to your dog only once a week.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal

• 1 cup of finely ground oatmeal

• ¼ teaspoon baking powder or soda

• 1 small tuna in its own juice (can also be in oil)

• 1/3 to ½ cup water

In a bowl, grind the tuna with water, then add the remaining ingredients. From the resulting solid mixture, roll out a cake about 1 cm high and cut different shapes out of it, which you place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Let the cookies rest on it for 2-3 minutes. Then bake them at 200 °C for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden to brown.

BIRTHDAY HAFFINS

Are you also celebrating your pet's birthday? Not to! After all, he is a legitimate member of the family and deserves a proper party. Make him these birthday muffins/haffins and invite all the furries around. They will lick each other behind the ears!

Ingredients:

For cupcakes

• 2 medium carrots

• 1 banana

• 130 g of wholemeal flour

• 40 g of oatmeal

• 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda

• 5 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no added sugar)

• 1 egg

• 60 ml vegetable oil

• 1 spoon of honey

For the frosting

• 1 x 250 spread butter/meadow

• 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no added sugar)

• small treats for decoration

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line the muffin tin with paper cups.

Grate the carrots and mash the banana. Place both in a bowl and mix. Add remaining cupcake ingredients and mix. Fill the prepared cupcakes with the resulting mixture and place in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Bake until golden. Then remove from the oven and let cool completely.

While your muffins are cooling, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter/peanut butter spread. Whisk until the consistency is nice and creamy. Then fill a pastry bag with the mixture and decorate the cooled muffins. Finally, add a treat to the cream.

And be careful, when serving the dog, make sure he doesn't eat the paper cup.

ICE CREAM FROM THREE INGREDIENTS

Treat your dog to a proper summer refreshment. He definitely looks at you sadly when you eat the ice cream that you can't give him. Prepare him his own! You will have this done in one or two times. But be careful: the dog's digestive system is not used to eating iced treats. Allow the treat to settle before serving and be careful that the dog does not swallow it all at once.

Ingredients:

• 1 banana

• 1 white yogurt

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter

Mix all the ingredients together. When the consistency is creamy, put the mixture in molds (you can use ice makers) and put it in the freezer.

MEAT BALLS

Thanks to this treat, your pet will feel like in the movie Lady and the Tramp. But those meatballs certainly didn't have a secret ingredient – ​​nettles, which clean the blood and soothe skin irritation.

Our tip: You can freeze the meatballs and have goodies in stock.

Ingredients:

• 400 g ground turkey or beef

• 100 g of turkey liver

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon of salmon oil

• 50 g breadcrumbs

• 1 handful of nettle leaves

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a tray with baking paper.

Cut the liver and nettle leaves into smaller pieces. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Then form walnut-sized balls from the meat mixture, place them on the prepared baking sheet and then bake for 7-10 minutes until brown. Store in the refrigerator.

We wish your furry friends a good taste!
