Homemade dog treats
We all like to bake around Christmas, so why not include your dog by making them a homemade festive dog cookie.
Use a food processor to combine 1 banana, 160g of pureed pumpkin, (or cooked mashed sweet potato), 70 g of peanut butter (ensure it does NOT contain xylitol) and 2 eggs. Once mixed, add approximately 350g of flour a little at a time until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead the dough until it comes together and then roll it out before using festive cookie cutters to cut it into shape! Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remember to leave the cookies to cool before feeding your dog. These are tasty treats, so should not be given routinely and if they have one you should reduce the amount of their normal food to stop them piling on the Christmas pounds!
