Doggy Valentines

This year for Valentine's Day I decided to make the dogs a special treat. I came across this recipe from Tails Magazine and thought this would be a great way to break into the world of homemade dog treats.

What I liked about this recipe is that it used only six ingredients and was easy to make. The one thing I didn't like about it was the cook time (45 minutes) which is a little timely when you are using more than one cookie sheet.

Still, I found the smallest heart-shaped cookie cutters I had. It was a pretty easy

recipe to make. At times, I felt like I was making bread since you knead the dough. The true test were the dogs. All of them, including Gigi, absolutely loved it. One of the best things about making your own dog treats is that there are no preservatives added. Also, this was the one time I could snap a picture of all three dogs together without them fidgeting.

  3. Hi Gretchen. Welcome. I really loved how easy the recipe was to create. Thank you the heart shapes were from a cookie cutter. These are one of the simpler recipes in which to use them

    Trixie, Lily & Sammy-Joe, it's great to meet you. Welcome. You are lucky dogs that your mom is making you something special for Valentine's Day. Glad to hear she likes the recipe. :)

  9. Some dogs have a particular palette. I was worried about Gigi not liking these but she surprised me. I think some dogs appreciate the freshness. The shelter pups will definitely love it. Thanks for stopping in Vicky and I hope you have a great holiday. :)
