There is an old proverb which says, “If a dog’s prayers were answered, bones would rain down from the sky.” You may not be able to make it rain bones, and let’s face it, if you could, would you really want to? But you can make some of your dog’s dreams come true by providing him with some yummy, healthy treats to munch on for the holidays. These are perfect for your own pooch as well as any dog owner on your Christmas list.
A lot of the dog treats on the market are full of additives and processed until anything resembling natural products is forced out of them. Your dog deserves some healthy treats, and that’s what Coco Therapy Coconut Chips offer. You might be thinking to yourself, “Do dogs like coconut?” You can be assured that when your pup sniffs these, it will be love at first bite. Raw, dehydrated coconut chips have a great taste and texture, plus they are still packed with all the nutrients that coconut contains. It may be a surprise but coconut oil works wonders for dogs and is a great source of fiber. Your dog will like the nutty flavor, and remember, treats are excellent ways to train puppies.
You can also make your own dog treats, which can be a fun holiday project. There are endless recipes online. For one of our favorites (and a recipe you can find online in several places), you’ll need:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup peanut butter (all-natural or organic)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons oil
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Mix the oil, peanut butter, and water. To this mixture, add flour, one cup at a time, to form the dough. Knead this into a firm ball that measures about ¼ inch thickness. Cut this into three or four pieces and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes.
These make great stocking stuffers for your pet to enjoy on Christmas morning with the family.
