Everybody Loves Cookies!

Thanks to the vast internet we can search for homemade dog treats VERY easily. A simple search will uncover a wealth of recipes. I found cookies galore and even some cake recipes. Yay! Now Spot can have a real birthday party!

You have to be careful though, not all ingredients are safe for dogs. Common ingredients like chocolate and onions should never be used in your canine recipes. They can both be extremely dangerous to dogs. Macadamia nuts and walnuts can also be harmful, they contain unknown toxins that can cause muscle tremors, weakness and even paralysis! Not all varieties of nuts are harmful, but many contain high quantities of salt and fat so use with caution. Other foods that you should be leery of are cheese, milk, liver, potatoes, raisins and grapes.

I can across this great site, Dog Treat Kitchen, filled with recipes as well as cautions. You should go check it out and send us a photo of you smoochy poochy with the treats you create. :-)
