Recipes: Homemade dog treats

Per Liz Palika for petside.com:  “These are treats and should not be used in place of your pet’s normal diet. Instead, offer small treats a few times a day as your family enjoys the holidays.”

Thanksgiving Turkey & Sweet Potato

This recipe can be made with the same ingredients you’re using to make your own Thanksgiving dinner. Just set aside a little food and make a special treat to be added to your dog’s daily diet.

  • 1 cup turkey, cooked, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sweet potato, cooked, chopped
  • 2 eggs, large, hardboiled, shelled

Place all three ingredients in a food processor and liquefy until a thick paste. If the food is too thick, add just enough water for processing.

Give a small dog just a teaspoon or two mixed in with the normal food or as a treat during the day. Larger dogs can have a heaping tablespoon.  Refrigerate extra until the next meal.
