Leo's cookies sound easy to make. I am going to try that for Bailey. Thank you for posting. |
Can anyone recommend a veterinarian approved dog food and treats cookbook? I'd like to try some simple recipes for my Studley. I've read certain things are toxic for our little ones and don't want to add anything that is harmful. I'd appreciate any help. |
This is not a recipe but just my two cents about many of the meals I'm reading here. A big part of these end up as wet/soft food and if you don't give your dog raw bones frequently to chew on, the teeth will get full or tartar and if you forget to brush that off it can led to very ugly mouth. I met an elderly woman who had this cute maltese but when he barked I was terrified by how rotten his teeth were. Black gums and fangs with a hideous smell. She said she only fed him cooked chicken. I know this is common sense but some people can be oblivious about certain things. Dogs, no matter the size, are little wolves and I would advice more for a raw diet with occasional cooked treats. :) My yorkies love raw bones with a little meat on them, they spend hours licking and nibbling on them and their teeth is very clean. It is cooked bones which are not healthy for your dog. If you don't want them to actually break and eat the bone, use beef or pork ones instead of chicken. They might only get a chalky white stool which is pretty normal and with nearly no smell. |
teeth Ever since I lost my 1 year old yorkie to Liver shunt disease I am very careful what I give his baby brother. After a lot of research I formulated this recipe and I can't tell you how shiney my boy's hair is and I use a wet wash rag then wrap a small part around your finger put organic toothpaste on the tip and just rub all aount his teeth. My vet says he has the whitest teeth he has ever seen. At the same time he thinks I am playing with him. A word to the wise Garlic & Onion are very toxic to our little furry ones...The one recipe I read had garlic in it and that is a no no...actually all spices are bad... Charlie's Organic Recipe ( he is 7 lbs and gets this twice a day) One batch lasts around 5-6 days. 1 sm jar organic carrots baby food 1 lrg jar of organic sweet potatoes baby food 1 sm jar of of organic Pumpkin/Apple baby food (can use 1/4 cup of pure pumpkin) boil 1/2 cup brown rice with 13/4 water 1 organic chicken breast (boil in seperate pot) Mix all jar food with pumpkin & cooked rice Chop up chicken in place in serperate container Breakfast 1/4 mixture with a small amount of chicken reheat in Microwave for 15 seconds then add over the top 1/4 tsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of cottage cheese (must have dairy) Dinner same as breakfast without cottage cheese Treats Beefaatersv LilBitz Pure sweet potatoes raw carrots I leave out a small dish of Halo chicken dry food for in between but he really doesn't eat much. If you really think you must give them bones then a boiled beef shank is best but I still don't recommend it. ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT WE LOVE ISN'T ALWAYS GOOD FOR US! |
White teeth and heathly food Ever since I lost my 1 year old yorkie to Liver shunt disease I am very careful what I give his baby brother (not biological). After a lot of research I formulated this recipe and I can't tell you how shiney my boy's hair is and how great he looks. For his teeth I use a wet wash rag that I wrap a small part around your finger put organic toothpaste on the tip and just rub all around his teeth. At the same time he thinks I am playing with him. My vet says he has the whitest teeth he has ever seen and that he eats better then he does. A word to the wise Garlic & Onion are very toxic to our little furry ones...The one recipe I read had garlic in it and that is a no no...actually all spices are bad...with my recipe there is plenty of flavor. If you are concerned about liver shunt a small drop of organic Milk Thistle can be added to his food after warming every other day. Also a drop of liquid Gluscosamine & Chondroitin is great for their joints. PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR VET BEFORE USING ANYONE SUGGESTIONS Charlie's Organic Recipe (he is 7 lbs and gets this mixture twice a day) One batch lasts around 5-6 days. Always smell your dogs food to be sure it is fresh. 1 small jar organic carrots baby food 1 large jar of organic sweet potatoes baby food 1 sm jar of of organic Pumpkin/Apple baby food (can use 1/4 cup of pure pumpkin not pie mixture) boil 1/2 cup dry brown rice with 1 3/4 water 1 organic skinless/boneless chicken breast (boil in seperate pot) Mix all jar food with pumpkin & cooked rice (store in Refridgerator) Chop up chicken in place in serperate container Breakfast 1/4 cup mixture with a small amount of chicken reheat in Microwave for 15 seconds then add over the top 1/4 tsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of cottage cheese (must have dairy) Always let food sit for a minute to be sure it is cool enough. I use the reheat mode Dinner same as breakfast without cottage cheese Treats Beefaatersv LilBitz Pure sweet potatoes raw carrots small amount of apple Chick peas (may give them gas) I leave out a small dish of Halo chicken dry food for in between meal and fresh water but he really doesn't eat much. If you really think you must give them bones then a boiled beef shank is best but I still don't recommend it. ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT WE LOVE ISN'T ALWAYS GOOD FOR US! |
[Breakfast 1/4 cup mixture with a small amount of chicken reheat in Microwave for 15 seconds then add over the top 1/4 tsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of cottage cheese (must have dairy) Always let food sit for a minute to be sure it is cool enough. I use the reheat mode] Is there some other way to cook this? Microwaving kills water and if I'm going to feed my dog healthy I don't want to use the microwave. Thanks, Sylvia :smile: |
warming absolutely just put a small dish on top of boiling water (makeshift double boiler) the same as you would warm a jar of baby food...you can even save the jars and put the mixture right into them. I usually do it this way but I know how people are always in a hurry so I wanted to warn them about using a microwave, many don't know that the food keeps cooking even one you bringit out. |

Heating Yes just make sure there is enough water under the dish and be careful not to burn yourelf taking it out of the pot. I always put a drop on my wrist to make sure the food isn't too hot... |

Pebbles Hello everyone, I just rescued my little angle Pebbles from the local pound yesterday and I am concerned with her weight. I don't know much about her previous owner, I can tell she was very well trained but I have bought 4 different types of dry dog food already and she turns her nose up to all, but seems to LOVE veggies when I am cooking. So my question is can my baby survive off veggies alone? :confused::confused::confused: |

You might want to post your same question on a new thread, so more members will read and hopefully give you some suggestions. Good luck and again, welcome. |
My wonderful breeder Collier Ranch Yorkies sent me this amazing recipe for peanutbutter Dog Cookies and Biscuits Love to share~ Tami Before getting started, it’s vital that pet chefs verify that no one in the household has a problem with peanut allergies. Even the smell of peanut butter can send a seriously sensitive individual into anaphylactic shock, so it’s important to ensure that your delicious treats will not pose a danger to anyone inside the home. Also be cautious and aware of problems concerning peanut allergies when sharing your treats and giving them as gifts. Notably, peanut butter and other nut allergies are extremely rare in dogs. The Necessary Equipment One extra large mixing bowl One medium mixing bowl Measuring spoons Measuring cups An electric or battery-powered mixer A rolling pin At least two large cookie sheets Cookie cutters or rolling pizza cutter A fork or whisk An oven The Dry Ingredients 3 cups of whole wheat flour 1/2 cup of cornmeal 1/2 cup of rolled oats All-purpose flour for kneading The Wet Ingredients 1 1/2 cups of water 1/2 cup of vegetable oil 3 medium or large eggs 3 teaspoons of vanilla 5 tablespoons of peanut butter 2 cube of chicken or beef bullion Directions for Creating Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, measure out and combine all of the wet ingredients into a medium mixing bowl, with the exception of the bullion cubes. Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix all of the wet ingredients Crumble two cubes of beef or chicken bullion into the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a fork or whisk to stir the contents of the bowl until the bullion has completely dissolved. Measure out and combine all of the dry ingredients in an extra large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the extra large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a mixer or your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly into a wet dough. Remove about one-third of the dough at a time and place it on a well-floured surface. Knead the dough, adding 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour at a time. Continue to add flour and knead until the dough is moderately firm and of a consistency that will retain its shape when cut into individual treats. Once the dough is of the desired consistency, use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough to a uniform thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Use a cookie cutter or rolling pizza cutter to divide the dough into treat-sized pieces. Larger treats are more suitable for a large breed dog, while smaller treats are ideal for a small breed dog or for when the treats are going to be used as healthy rewards during the dog training process. Place the treats on a large un-greased cookie sheet, spaced about 1/2 inch apart. Place the cookie sheets in the oven, preheated to 375 degrees. Bake the dog treats for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the treats take on a golden brown appearance. Allow the treats to cool and then serve! Since these treats are preservative-free, they do have a limited shelf life. To extend the life of your treats and to avoid spoiling, place a small quantity of the homemade dog biscuits (about a dozen at a time) in a Tupperware container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. The remaining treats can be placed in freezer bags and stored in the freezer for an indefinite period of time. A dozen treats at a time can be removed, thawed and then stored in the refrigerator |
