Homemade Doggie Treats

So I've been on this binge lately about ways to eat healthier and I didn't stop with just us humans in the family - I included my dog Jack. Honestly if you have a dog or a cat, do your research and you'll discover how disgusting the food is that we buy from the store for our little critters. Not only did I want to change his main diet but wanted to start feeding him healthy treats too!

First I made these Fruity Frozen Yogurt Treats which he LOVES and they're the perfect treat to cool Jack down from the awful summer heat outside.



The other treats I made are these Cheesy Dog Cookies - not only does Jack love these but they smell AMAZING when baking in the oven!



So not only are both of these recipes very healthy for dogs but they're both SUPER cheap! You can't beat that! Enjoy!


Recipe for the Fruity Frozen Yogurt Treats

Ingredients:

• 2 Small jars of fruit baby food (I used bananas and apples)
• 8 - 10 ounces of yogurt (I used strawberry)

Directions:

• Just mix the baby food and yogurt together and freeze in an ice cube tray!
• I recommend using a knife to pop them out and storing them in a freezer safe container because after a day or two they become a little difficult to take out!
