Making Treats Experience

Jade's mom here!

I always thought there was a huge process to make dog treats. When I started looking up recipes, I was like wow, I can do this with what I have in my kitchen. Really? Buying dog treats can get expensive and you don't really know what's in the store bought stuff that your feeding your dog. I would like my little Jade to live for as long as she can. I want to give her the best types of food possible, that is also within my budget.

This past month, I've been experimenting on dog treat recipes with ingredients that I have at home. I use my kids applesauce, fresh fruit, flour, oatmeal, peanut butter and even coconut oil. Things that I eat as a human that I can feed to my fur baby. Also, I can spare 30 minutes over the weekend preparing treats for her, which can last for like 2-3 weeks. It's simple and save

I noticed that, when I started feeding Jade these treats, her fur and skin has gotten a lot better. In addition, her breath has also been less smelly. I have researched that coconut oil can help reduce some of  the bad breath. I used to give it to Jade right from the bottle but she wasn't much of a fan of coconut oil. So I ended up putting it as one of the ingredients for her treats, not much, maybe 2 tablespoons for the full batch.

I love cooking and baking, so being able to bake for my Jade has been fun for me! I hope you enjoyed this talk about my dog making treats experience.

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

Neutering Stitch

Stitch had his pre-operative consultation on Thursday September 6th, 2018. They took his blood and the results turned out normal. Although during his checkup they found out that he has a hot spot on this neck. So that meant a couple of days without his collar and some spray antibiotics to help the hot spot heal. He was scheduled today for his operation. Drop off was between 8:00 - 9:00am, no food the night before starting at 8:00pm on Wednesday. Only thing he was allowed to have was water. Stitch was so happy going to the vet and thinking it was another day for a checkup. Ohh was he in for a surprise that morning... I got a call in the early afternoon, telling me his procedure went well and that he was going to be observed for the next couple of hours and that we needed to pick him up between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Hubby went to pick him up after work. He wasn't the happy little boy he was that morning, still a little groggy and has to take some pills for his recovery. Also, he had to...
