Merlin, that is a great site, it has yummy treats. Tell your Mom that my Mom made the
Oatmeal Dog Bisquits and we loved them and they were easy to make. Thanks for the tip on that great site, Mom will be looking over the receipes.

OK I have a confession
I whipped up the peanut butter/oatmeal drops(that was all that was in it, I added a little honey) and I thought they were very good. It says for humans too!! I would have never mixed them on there own

I just bought some treats..not so good about making them myself. Check out: www.c3treats.bigstep.com

Honey and Lilly love them, and they are delivered and saved cold. They just came on Wednesday.

I have to share the latest episode with you. When the "goodies" arrived yesterday, I gave one of the "PokeyDoodles" to each dog and put the bag in the freezer. I left the "Crunchkins" in the refrigerator. I didn't even think about them until this evening and decided to work on a few "tricks" with the girls. They performed beautifully, I rewarded them, and then said my big "OK", to let them know we were through. I went back to the couch, and I heard Lilly bark, just once, in the kitchen. I ignored her, but she did it again. I walked in the kitchen, and there she was, staring at the refrigerator! She wanted MORE!!! It was hilarious. We did one more round of tricks and outside they went. Hope I don't get awakened in the night with more hopes of treats! What better advertisement could that lady have than for the Golden Retriever to beg at the refrigerator door?

If anyone finds low fat homemade treats could you please pass them on to Hannah and I. Hannah has a little weight problem and low fat dog treats can get a little expensive. Anything with apple in them would be great for her (fave treat)

Thanks,
Hannah and Angie

I went thru and cut the snausages in half for training aids. Some of the biscuits I give her are puppy biscuits from Iams and they are very small anyway.

Treats

Treats can be a very valuable training aid. Your dog
will,
of course, want as many as she can coerce you into
giving
her. But, she doesn't really have a concept of size,
so
don't give her a whole, big dog biscuit, when a half
of a
small biscuit would still be a treat and work just
as well.
She also will be just as happy with an undyed, low
calorie
treat instead of one that has been saturated with
additives
and coloring to make it attractive to the owner.

I just baked Shai some treats, we are waiting for them to cool, I found the mix at Meijer's.
The website is www.bakeyourdogabone.com

This is so funny.... all the time and energy we put into our animals is great but would we ever be sitting here writing all of these posts about our husbands/wives or kids? I'm certainly not surfing websites for cool treats or dinners to make for my hubby but I will definitely attempt to bake some treats for my 3 dogs! And, I CAN'T COOK! My husband would love for me to put this much time and energy into him.

As a matter of fact, I should make a "husband of the day website" or "wife of the day". My hubby sure deserves it. I guess while I am looking for good dog treat recipies I will try to find something good to cook for him.

Anyway, I have read a lot of posts about treats that dogs get from some of you. I noticed that they get human food a lot of times...like veggies and fruits. How do I know which ones are good to give my girls? I know they absolutely love "Cheetos" but I just don't think that is the best snack for them. They pretty much only get the Iams treats in the green box but I know they would love "real" food once in a while. Any suggestions?

Go to www.petcottage.com, and then look on the left-hand-side, and click on, "Bones you Bake". Hope this helps!

Doggiemom, try things like baby carrots, fresh brocolli, celery, apples, lettuce, and almost any fruit or vegetable they will eat. The trick is not to overdo. Some dogs will get diarrhea.

My dogs tell me when it's time for a carrot! And I can't make a salad without whining and begging.

Since one of my dogs is diabetic, he can't have too many carrots because the are higher in carbs than the other veggies. Some of the diabetic dogs are given low fat cottage cheese. See what yours like.
