The Easiest Homemade Dog Treats: Dog Treat Recipes Using Ingredients You Already Have + Food Substitutions For Dogs

When I first started making homemade dog treats in my kitchen, I always thought I had to follow others’ dog treat recipes to a tee.

But you don’t have to do that. Also remember dog food Green-lipped Mussel a vitamin for Arthritis in Dogs, is one of the most important parts for your pet, he need essential vitamins and minerals that must be included in the dog food to maintain a good health. Vitamin E helps support your dogs immune system, while vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy skin and hair, one of the most popular dog foods is smack dog food which is healthy and excellent for your best friend.

To make homemade dog treats, you simply need:

#1 – A base (to give the dog treat some substance)

#2 – Some liquid (to give the dog treat added flavor)

#3 – One or more tasty ingredients (that are safe for dogs to eat)

At least one of the above ingredients must contain something sticky (like an egg, honey, molasses, peanut butter) to hold everything together during baking.

4 Ways To Save Money On Dog Treats & Cut Your Dog Treat Budget In Half WITHOUT Buying Cheap Dog Treats!

Would you believe?…

My dog doesn’t know that Chicken Jerky treats are actually 6 inches long when we buy them. (By the way, yes I only buy made in the USA dog jerky treats.)
And he doesn’t realize that his favorite Dental Chews have 4 “arms” to them, forming a large pinwheel-shaped dog treat.
He has no idea that Jerky Treats Tender Strips start out 6 inches long and that I break them into 3 or 4 smaller pieces.
For the longest time, he thought Alpo Liv-a-Snaps were dime-sized tasty morsels, rather than the half-dollar sized treats that they are.

Call me cheap (I prefer frugal), but I break almost all of my dog’s treats into smaller pieces and then dole out those small pieces as tasty rewards every time my dog does something good.

Yep, almost all of the dog treats I buy, I break in half or — depending on their size to begin with — maybe even fourths!

As a result, that means I get 2 to 4 times the mileage from a box or bag of dog treats than the manufacturer wants me to get — and we’re not talking about cheap dog treats either!

Top 10 Recipes For Homemade Dog Breath Treats

Dogs and bad breath pretty much go hand in hand.

Once they outgrow that adorable puppy-breath phase, it’s clear that your dog’s bad breath will probably become an ongoing issue.

Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help prevent dog bad breath.

These are the dog bad breath remedies that I use:

#1 Give fresh dog bones from the butcher – I give my dog a large raw beef bone to chew on every now and then (roughly a couple times each month). I get them from our local butcher. Some grocery stores sell them as well — in the meat department.

#2 Brush your dog’s teeth – I use a finger brush to brush my dog’s teeth. Even though he absolutely loves the beef-flavored doggie toothpaste, I honestly don’t do this as frequently as I should. But every little bit helps, so I’m not going to beat myself up about it.

#3 Give homemade dog breath treats – Instead of making ‘regular’ homemade dog treats, you can freshen your dog’s breath at the same time by including specific ingredients that are known to do this.

#4 Use dog mouthwash (a drinking water additive) – For us, adding a dog-friendly drinking water alternative worked really well at first, but then the results sort of fizzled. It’s a good first step in your attempt to freshen your dog’s breath, but not long-lasting.

Today, I’m going to focus on homemade dog breath treats that you can make.
