Four Easy Homemade Dog Treat Recipes

Have some spare time on your hands? Want to make some yummy treats for your canine companion? Look no further! These dog recipes are incredibly simple and are human friendly too (although maybe not quite to our taste)…

 

Pupcakes

Great for garden picnics with your pooch

For the cake:

– 1 cup of grated carrot
– 1 egg
– 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
– 3 tablespoons of peanut butter
– 1 cup of self-raising flour
– 2 tablespoons of oats or oatmeal

1. Mix the whole lot together, adjusting the consistency to what you’d expect when making a sponge cake.
2. Simply add a little more oil if too dry or flour if too loose.
3. Bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
4. Cool when done, ready for the icing!

For the icing:

– Peanut butter
– Greek yoghurt

1. Mix equal quantities of peanut butter and Greek yoghurt and smear over the cakes.
2. Decorate with a few little doggie biscuits for an extra treat!

After our co-founder Karen finished baking the pupcakes, she sampled one herself with a lovely cup of tea – minus the doggie biscuit topping!
