Do you make your own bulldog treats?

 

[fastmatt613]

I had to vote Sometimes because normally I just give him carrots or natural dog biscuits. But once in a while, especially for teething purposes, my girlfriend will stick bits of carrots in a glob of peanut butter and freeze it. Rocco goes crazy for this simple concoction!

Does putting yogurt in a kong and then freezing it count? I give him frozen sliced peaches too...I'm guessing opening the bad and handing one to him is not quite what you were going for either!! :D

I chop and freeze chicken livers or gizzards or feet and give it to the dogs for training treats.

 

[RiiSi]

yes, always. I'm really strict with their diet and they don't get anything that's bad for them or I don't know what's in it. So I cook tongue or gizzards and if I don't use them in a day or two I will dry them as well.

We make all of Harlea's frozen treats from various yogurts and fruits. her new favorite is apple carrot cubes.

I voted sometimes as apart from giving them home cooked meat and veg as a treats i also sometimes do a batch of dog cookies

 

[Samantha Orts]

I put no because I don't really make anything. I put yogurt and fruit in her kong and freeze it. She also likes the Fromm grain free treats, cheese, and bell peppers.

I love baking them their cookies. I usually go to my go-to of whole wheat flour, canned pumpkin, peanut butter, cinnamon, baking powder, and a little bit of water. They're so easy to make and they absolutely love them! I do still buy treats for them but I always get organic treats

Sometimes we will make them some frozen summer time treats.

yes...and Stinky loves them...I must say they are pretty good.
Makes 36 large dog biscuits

• 2 1/2 cups brown rice flour
• 2 tablespoons flax seed
• 2 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup cold water or enough to make dough stick

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine brown rice flour and flax meal in a large bowl. Mix eggs and pumpkin together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add pumpkin mixture to brown rice mixture in two parts, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add water slowly. Use your hands to pull the dough together.
Roll dough out between two pieces of waxed or parchment paper to desired thickness. (about 1/4" thick.) Remove top piece of waxed/parchment paper, flip dough onto brown rice floured counter, remove top piece, and then cut biscuits using desired cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps until you’ve used every possible bit of dough.
Place biscuits on parchment lined baking sheets (or lightly greased with oil). If using a dog bone shaped cutter, gently press down, wiggle a little, then lift out.
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until the top of the biscuit has dried out completely. Let biscuits cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container. I will also add dry cranberries or blueberries.
