~home made dog treat recipe~

Did you know that store bought dog treats

are full of preservatives and artificial additives?

Yuck!

So, the kids and I decided to make a really simple dog treat recipe here at home.

Here is the recipe if you'd like to try it:

~Peanut Butter Goodness Dog Treats~
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 1/2 cups white flour 1/2 cup peanut butter (all-natural or organic) 1 cup water 2 tablespoons oil
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine oil, peanut butter and water. Add flour, one cup at a time, forming a dough. Knead dough into firm ball and roll to 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut into 3 to 4 inch pieces. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Once you have it all rolled out and your kitchen is covered in flour,

cut out cute shapes.

Any shapes will do but we decided to use a dog bone shaped cookie cutter.

Once they have baked you need to let them

cool completely before feeding them to your dog.
I guess that's a given but the short people

in our house didn't quite understand this concept.

At any rate, the doggie loved them and I think

they look pretty cute in this jar with the chalkboard label.
Bone appetit!
