I rolled the stick shape with my hands, but you could use any shape you want

Tasty Tuesday: Apple and Honey Dog Biscuits

These biscuits are sure to go down a treat with the pups!

 For this recipe you will need:

Cookie cutters

1 cup of rice flour

1 teaspoon of honey

1/3 cup of apple sauce (just apples nothing added)

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

1 egg

1 or more hungry dogs

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Line some baking trays

Mix all ingredients together

Roll into a dough

Cut shapes

Yum!

There was enough left over dough to make training treats, I just cut these pieces with a knife, make sure to cut them to the size needed before cooking them because they can be fiddly to break up while training

Yep, these earned the whippet seal of approval!

Snood DIY

DIY whippet snood!

One of the simplest things you can make for your dog. 

Made of soft polar fleece, it can be worn covering the ears or not.

Over ears

 

 Snoods are used to keep the ears warm and some people even use them to keep the ears of long eared/haired breeds tidy before shows.

 For this DIY you will need:

Some polar fleece fabric

Sewing machine

Thread

Scissors

Measuring tape

and

A DOG

First measure around your dog's head and take that measurement to form the longest side of your rectangle adding a few cm or an inch or so for seam allowance. Then use the length you want your snood to be to form the length of the shortest side you your rectangle. Make sure the stretch of the fabric goes with the longest side.

 Turn fabric over, fold over both long sides, pin and sew down like shown.

 Zig- Zag stitch adds strength to the seams

Fold over as shown

 Sew down remaining side

Fold inside out

These cookies do turn out a little crumbly so not ideal for training, but do stay tuned for some training treat recipes.

Tasty Tuesday: Swimmingly Good Sardine and Carrot Treats

These treats are at the height of deliciousness for dogs. Rory seems to thing sardines are the best thing since dog cookies. 

To make this recipe you will need:

1 tin of sardines

1 cup of grated carrot

1 cup of rice flour

1 egg

Willing taste tester (this time I think only a dog would want to be the taste tester ...) 

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Mix ingredients together

 

 Roll mix into balls

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown

This is like dog torture!
