HOMEMADE DOG TREATS (TANGO'S TREATS)
My dogs--especially my puppy, Tango Foxtrot--loved carrots, apples, and peanut butter. So, for his first birthday, I combined Tango's favorite flavors into a special treat just for him. Make sure to use a natural peanut butter that does not contain added salt, sugar, or other ingredients. Keep extra treats stored in the fridge.

FLEA TERMINATOR DOG TREATS RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by Lynnw-2
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dissolve the beef bouillon in the water. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the flour, cornmeal, brewers' yeast and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir in the cooled bouillon mixture and egg yolks. Mix until well blended. Pour mixture into the lined baking sheets. Spread it thin with a spatula until the thickness is fairly even. The parchment paper lining will make it easy to get the treats out of the pan when they are done. Bake for about 10 minutes and pull out of the oven and 'score' the treats with a pizza cutter so they will be easy to break up when done. Bake for another 10 minutes (for a total of 20 minutes). Turn the oven off and leave to cool in the oven for at least 3 hours, or overnight. When cooled, lift the parchment off the sheet and break the treats into pieces. Note: Use only sodium free bouillon, as salt is not good for dogs. Do not use fresh garlic, as it is not good for dogs.

You could even dip them into the yogurt mixture. If you put this fresh baked treats, make sure they're thoroughly cooled.
- 3. Frosted treats should be kept in fridge
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste and nutritional value of your dog treats. Use fresh, human-grade ingredients whenever possible.
- Keep treats small: Dog treats should be small enough for your dog to eat in one or two bites. This will help prevent choking and overeating.
- Bake treats at a low temperature: This will help preserve the nutrients in the treats and prevent them from burning.
- Store treats properly: Store dog treats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help keep them fresh and prevent them from spoiling.
- Monitor your dog's treat intake: Dog treats should be given in moderation. Too many treats can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
