Birthday Cake Suggestions
 

These recipes are amazing!
Since the night I got my baby, I have cooked for her.
I avoid animal fats, whole wheat or all purpose flour though and am finding it difficult to find a good doggies birthday cake recipe for my girls birthday next month.
There is a dog food bakery that uses carob and yogurts and was thinking of ordering but really would like to make my baby her own birthday cake since it is going to be her third birthday.
From puppy years into adult years.
She will always be my baby none the less.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
She loves peanut butter and yogurt. Not too fond of fruit unless dehydrated and crunchy.

Thanks in advance!

This is great!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I have went through all these post and copied and pasted all these recipes. Now I have a cookbook of my own for my little Isabella.... I'm sooo happy about this...

Thanks to everyone who gave recipes...When I come across new one that izzy like, i will post them :):animal36

Healthy Recipes?
 

I just read on the dangerous foods for dogs list that onions/garlic are toxic and although garlic is the lesser of two evils, I would like to know why the first 2 recipes contain garlic??? What's up with that? Doesn't make you guys seem conscious of content by supposing even the slightest risk to someone's dog... My yorkie is extremely selective with food and I enjoy and depend on these recipes but I don't want to accidentally harm my dog by overseeing such thing as garlic in the recipe. Just thought I mention it...:confused:

Garlic/onions? Just don't use them! It won't make a taste difference to our fur babies and why take the chance of feeding something harmful? I know that some dog foods contain garlic---- only tiny amounts BUT Dooggie vet/nutritionist will advise and have actually advised me that adding garlic/ buying a product with garlic is just NOT a good idea.

I made this tonight leaving out the broccoli and garlic. I mixed two tablespoons with equal parts dry food. There wasn't anything at all left in his bowl. I've never seen this dog eat a whole serving of food. He picks and nibbles, but not tonight. It did make alot even halving the recipe. Probably enough for 14 days. I kept out enough for tomorrow and put the rest in the freezer. This is fairly inexpensive to make as well. :)

Garlic
 

:confused: Why would you add garlic? Garlic is toxic to dogs! I don't know one vet who would say it is OK to feed a dog garlic.

Make sure any homemade diet is given with vet supervision to make sure all nutrients, vitamins, etc. are included. Speak to a veterenarian nutritionist to be sure the diet you are feeding is correct. Problems can emerge later in a dogs life w/o the proper food. You can contact a veterinarian university/college to seek out a specialist on proper nutitional feeding. :aimeeyork

Not sure if your responding to my post, but I said I left out the garlic. :confused:

Broccoli in large quantities is toxic for dogs.

what is cusus?

Kreepy
 

what is cusus?

Copied from wikipedia:

Couscous (pronounced /ˈkʊskʊs/ or /ˈkuːskuːs/) is a grain dish of spherical granules made by rolling and shaping moistened semolina wheat and then coating them with finely ground wheat flour. The finished granules are about one millimetre in diameter before cooking. Different cereals may be used. Some variants popular in Israel use granules of hard wheat which are twice the usual diameter. Traditional couscous requires considerable preparation time and is usually steamed. In many places, a more-processed, quick-cook couscous is available and is particularly valued for its short preparation time. Couscous is traditionally served under a meat or vegetable stew. It can also be eaten alone, flavored or plain, warm or cold (e.g., mixed with tabouli), or as a side dish.

The dish is a traditional staple throughout the Maghreb, where it is thought to have originated. It is also popular in the West African Sahel, in France, Spain, the Canary Islands, Portugal, Madeira, Italy (particularly in western Sicily's Province of Trapani), as well as in Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Malta, Cyprus and parts of the Middle East. It is particularly popular among Jews of North African descent such as the Algerian Jews, Tunisian Jews and Moroccan Jews,[2] and is eaten in many other parts of the world as well.

Thanks for posting this thread! I recently made treats for Zeke's 1st birthday and although he loved them I think he is allergic to them. He was itching a lot so he can't eat them. They were peanut butter treats but contained flour so I'll have to try one of these recipes! :)

:eek:Thought that Turkey and garlic isn't good for a dog

That's what I always heard

I make my pups homemade food every so often...tried a couple from here not too long ago. Went to the fridge and the tupperware was gone! Called Hubby @ work and asked him what he planned for lunch and he said oh I took tupperware you left me. I said oh that's our furkids food, he said OH guess I'm not eating lunch today! Had I not noticed before his lunch hour I don't think I would have the heart to tell him! LOL
