Fall Favorites Dog Treat Recipes

Fall is to baking, as treats are to dogs ... made for each other. :)

As the weather cools, you may begin to ponder the busy months ahead. Take time now to bake a few dozen homemade dog treats and stock your freezer full of these fall favorites.

Everywhere you look, pumpkin reigns as the requested flavor in everything from coffee, to chips and beer! Share the sweet and savory flavors of pumpkin with your dog with our pumpkin recipes.

You can also use pumpkin shaped cookie cutters or pumpkin pans to make any flavored dog treat recipe a little more festive.

Pumpkin Biscotti Dog Treats

Pumpkin & Carob Dog Cookies

Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Cut Out Treats

Another sweet treat especially enjoyed during the fall months are apple dog treats. We have several recipes to choose from, why not start with one of these:

Triple Apple Dog Treats with Cheese

Or try these quick and easy dried apple slices. These treats can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.

Soft Dried Apple Slices

National Pet Obesity Awareness Day

Pet obesity is a growing concern for pet parents around the globe. According to some studies, over half of all dogs are overweight. We love our dogs so much, that we can sometimes unknowingly be hurting their health and well being by overfeeding them.

Do you know how to tell if your dog is overweight? First, look at your dog from above while they are standing. Can you see a clearly defined waist? If not, your dog may be overweight.

Second, can you feel his ribs when you pet his side? You should be able to feel the ribs, not see them, but feel them when you pet and touch their side.

October 8th is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. Check out this website for more information:

http://www.petobesityprevention.org/

You can download several helpful PDF's from the above site. For example, they have a chart of how many calories are in common dry and wet dog foods so you can properly monitor how much you are giving your dog.

The first full week in October is also National Walk Your Dog Week. Extra walks that are brisk and approximately 20 minutes or more can help your dog (and you) lose a couple unwanted pounds. Read more about the health benefits of walking on their website:

Remember, food is not love. We show our dogs how much we love them by caring for them physically, mentally and emotionally. Please love your dog with extra hugs, special toys and long walks ... and an occasional healthy homemade dog treat. :)
