To begin, you will need to gather your ingredients from the store. You want to choose which protein source you feel is going to have the most benefit for your pooch. When choosing this, take in to consideration if your dog has any allergies or what is going to be the most digestible and decide from there. The most common protein sources are chicken, turkey, beef and lamb — or you could try a combination of flavors. You will also need 1 teaspoon yeast, 1 cup of wheat germ, 3 eggs, 2 cups of powdered milk, 4 cups of flour and 2 cups of your protein source — many people also opt for adding fruits or veggies to their dogs food and the simplest way to do this is by using a 4 ounce jar of stage 2 [organic] baby foods in flavors such as carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, peas, rice, or oatmeal.br /

Initially in your preparation for making dry home made dog food, you will need to dissolve a teaspoon of yeast in warm water then mix all the ingredients for your dog food together. Make sure the meat has been cooked and any excess fat has been drained, then set the mixture aside for approximately 30 minutes to allow the yeast to do its job. After your 30 minutes is over, roll the mixture out on a floured surface, cut in to small squares and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The end result is healthy meal for your pooch and big lick on the face for you.br /

One of the simplest recipes for making frozen home made dog food treats contains ingredients you probably already have in your pantry: the frozen peanut butter banana treat. Basically, mash a banana and add it to a few tablespoons of peanut butter, mix in a small amount of honey and some water (to aid in freezing) then shape in to small balls, toss in the freezer and, well, freeze. [You will have to be careful, this is also a goodie for the kids, too and you dont want to come home to discover all the dogs treats have been eaten by the wee ones].br /

Other recipes to try when making frozen home made dog food treats involve mixing and matching different items of fruit with juices or plain yogurt. For instance, using an ice cube tray, you might fill it with apple juice then in each slot add a piece of an apple, pear, or perhaps a peach. The possibilities are endless with creating just the perfect frozen treat for your pooch. Too, you can add variety by mixing it up and making the frozen cubes with beef or chicken broth, or unsalted beef gravy, and adding a cube of cheese or a chunk of meat (baby food works best) to the cube before freezing. You are sure to be a hit with your pooch this summer if you try one of the ideas on listed here.
