Making dog treats

The "Homemade Dog Treats Facebook Group" was started in August, 2012, as a networking and gathering place for those who share the passion or the interest of baking for dogs. As of this post we have over 200 members from around the world, and more join every day. 

The group is moderated by Frosting Fran from K9Cakery.com, and an expert crafter, Theresa The Scrapbooking Queen. But don't let the group name dissuade you. You do not have to make dog treats at home to join! We also share craft making ideas and how to make cat treats too! 

We share dog treat recipes, information about dog nutrition, craft ideas, dog treat business tips for beginners and those already in the business, strategy for marketing dog treats, pricing, selling and more. The group is comprised of those starting out in business, veteran business people, expert cake decorators, people who have never decorated before, and others who are just curious. 

If you need motivation, you will definitely find it here. If you need interesting recipe ideas, you will definitely find them here. If you want to "meet" like-minded people who do not think that baking dog treats and cakes for dogs is strange behavior, this is the right place to be.

All you have to do is request an invite by clicking the red link above. We hope you will join us!

If you would prefer to stay in touch but not be in a group, simply sign up to follow this blog. I regularly post easy dog treat recipes, photos, and other interesting information that comes from the group with due credit given. 

Banana Dog Treats

Banana dog treats? Can dogs have bananas?

If your dog enjoys eating this fruit, let him! But in moderation, please. There are some dogs who insist on sharing their owners' breakfast banana, and others who wouldn't dare touch it.

Originally dogs were meat eaters. Over time and with evolution, they have become consumers of fruits and vegetables. However, their digestive tract does not function the same as a human being's and too many bananas can cause GI upset. 

If he loves bananas, turn them into dog treats, like these "Banana Flops" made by Tammie's Homemade Pet Treats:

If you would like to try your hand at a similar treat, the following dog treat recipe is offered by Henry and Baron's Dog Treats. These make great dog training treats for dogs who enjoy bananas.

What you need:

• 1.5 cups oat flour (if you can’t find oat flour, blend rolled oats to texture of flour)
• 1.5 cups brown rice flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup oat bran
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup mashed banana 
• 1/2 cup water 

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 250˚
• Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well to form a dough. If the mix is too dry, add in a little more water. 
• Roll mixture into small balls and place on a non-stick baking tray.
• Score each with a knife so they can be broken into smaller pieces when done. 
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn the oven off but leave the dog biscuits in to dry out - this increases the crunchiness.
• Let cool.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container to hold freshness.

Dog training treats are small in size because you will be giving a lot of them! You do not want your dog to fill up. The treats need to be small enough so that he wants more, and small enough not to load him with extra calories.
