Frozen Apple Dog Treats
This dog treat recipe is so simple it doesn’t even
involve any cooking. If you’ve got two apples, a
cup of non-fat plain yogurt, and some ice cube
trays you’ve got yourself a yummy treat your dog
will love. My dog Laika absolutely loves these
treats.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Slice 2 apples into small pieces but remove
the seeds and the core.
2. Mix the apple slices, yogurt, and a splash of
water in your NutriBullet or blender and blend
until you get a liquid consistency.
3. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray and
freeze for a few hours or until hard.

Easy DIY Dog Treats
This homemade dog treat recipe is extremely
simple. If your dog does fine with wheat and milk,
I’d recommend trying this out if it’s your first-
time baking dog treats. For this simple recipe,
you’ll need two cups of whole wheat flour, one
cup of peanut butter, one cup of skimmed milk,
and a tablespoon of baking powder.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the
peanut butter and milk. Drizzling the milk
in slowly will allow you to combine it more
efficiently.
3. In another large mixing bowl, combine the
baking powder and whole-wheat flour.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the peanut
butter-milk mixture. Combine all of the
ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
5. On a sheet of parchment paper, sprinkle a
tiny bit of wheat flour on the surface and
roll out the dough to reach your desired dog
treat thickness. Using your dog bone cookie
cutters, cut out dog treats and place them
onto a greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
