Can they have it in powder form or are these people just not educated as to it's toxicity to dogs? I decided yesterday to make him some cookies as he doesn't especially like commercial ones. He is pretty picky about that kind of thing. Oh and peanut butter, my dogs before all loved peanut butter, is it ok too? Sorry I have so many questions...  |
Garlic is included in some recipes...even in the book by Dr. Pitcairn too...I think it's ok in very small quantities, but with as small as yorkies are, I would rather not worry about it, so I just omit it from the recipe. My two don't know the difference
They eat everything anyway!
If he likes the cookies, check out the Homecooked recipe thread in the health/diet section, and make "Leo's Cookies" for him-these have been a HIT around here, and with many of our canine friends too!
Peanut butter is great-but make sure you're giving him an all-natural one-usually the refrigerated kind is best, but Skippy and Jif have both come out with all-natural non-refrigerated versions, and they both taste great to me, and my dogs like it too!
