Two-Ingredient Baby Food Treats
By Capree Kimball

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups 100% organic whole wheat flour (or wheat germ, spelt, rolled oats — or a mixture of these)
• 2 (4oz) jars of pureed baby food (beef, blueberry, sweet potato, chicken, etc.)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix ingredients together to form a stiff dough. If necessary, add extra flour or water as needed.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out evenly until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shape or a pizza cutter to make cubes.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place treats about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
5. Allow to cool completely before storing in a paper bag (storing in an air-tight container will make them soft, but they’re still edible).

It doesn’t get any easier than that! Consider getting creative and including tasty surprises like grated carrots or sweet potatoes, blueberries, etc. — whatever non-toxic fruits or veggies your dog likes.

Frozen Apple Treats
By Irresistible Pets

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Apples

1. Slice 2 apples into small pieces but remove the seeds and the core.
2. Mix the apple slices, yogurt, and a splash of water in your food processor or blender and blend until you get a liquid consistency.
