Doggy Treats - Dachshund safe ing.

I recently noticed the sheer amount of plastic that is consumed by simply being a pet owner, from their toys – the bottles of shampoo they use, to treat packaging and so much more. It is rather bizarre when you think about it!

So, I thought well, let's start small at changing the dynamic of this, and start with dog treats, since this is mainly more purchased than the other listed items. I will say, however, in the title line of this blog you will read I mention dachshunds as a specific breed. The reason for this is that the ingredients used in this recipe are safe for this breed.

*Disclaimer please check with your vet what ingredients are safe for your fur baby to consume before making your dog treats. As some foods are not to be consumed by dogs or any pet.

That being said here, is the recipe that our lovely little Willow loves:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1 cup mashed banana

• 2 cup flour

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 °C.

2. In a large bowl mix together the banana and peanut butter.

3. Sift the flour, add the banana and peanut butter, and mix until a dough starts to form.

4. Then flour your surface and roll out the dough.

5. Use the desired cookie cutter you wish and cut out your ‘treat’.

6. Place the treats onto a lined baking sheet (don't crease this use baking paper or silicone sheets)

7. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.

Voila! Once baked allow to cool and store for 10 days in a dry sealed container. I recommend storing some in the freezer as depending on the size of your cookie cutter this recipe can make 2 dozen treats.

P.S. Ensure your peanut butter is 100% just peanut butter and not filled with other ingredients.

Hope you and your furry friend enjoy this recipe as much as we do, until next time!
