Our pets are like family and we want to ensure they are happy and healthy. We often reward our cats and dogs with treats for obeying commands, good behavior, or just because. We cook for ourselves almost daily, so why not treat our pets, too? Check out the recipes below for some delicious homemade treats your pets will love. 

Cat Treats

1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour 

1/2 Cup Powdered Milk

1 Can of Tuna, Chicken, Or Beef With Oil 

1/4 Cup of Water 

First, mix the flour and milk powder until combined. In a separate bowl mix the canned meat mixture and egg together. Next, combine the meat and egg into the flour and milk powder mixture. Once fully combined, slowly add in the water until the dough is a sticky texture. Next, make small balls of dough about the size of a quarter, place them on a greased cookie sheet, and bake on 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Wait for the treats to cool before giving them to your cat. You can store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for optimal shelf life. 

Dog Treats

1 Whole Sweet Potato Cooked

1 Ripe Banana

1 Cup of Carrots Minced or Shredded 

2 Cups of Flour 

1 Cup of Oats 

1/3 Cup of Water 

First, take the skin off of the sweet potato and mash in a bowl with the banana. Once thoroughly mixed together, add the carrots, flour, and oats, and combine. Next, slowly add the water to create a dough. Roll out the dough on a floured board or countertop to your desired thickness and cut into strips. Place the strips on lined baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Store the treats in a bag or container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
