Homemade Dog Treats for the Holidays

Pupolicious Dog Cookies Homemade

Last night was a Christmas Cookie Extravaganza! But this wasnt a typical Christmas cookie event, this time it was for the dogs! Thats right, instead of the normal Cathedral Windows Cookies, Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles we were baking up some Pupolicious Original Cookies.

We had all of our gifts ready and set for our friends and family, but we had forgotten one family members friends! Our dog Daisy was getting a few things in her stocking but what about her little dog friends too? Why not give them a little something this Christmas! While dog toys and store bought treats are great, we decided to do something extra special and made some dog treats at home!

It was a family affair in the kitchen Daisy helping with all the scraps that we dropped of course! What a fun night we had of mixing, blending, rolling, baking and decorating! After everything was dry we bagged them up and put little Christmas gift tags on them for her pup friends! Here is our dog treat making night:

The ingredients include moisture, protein, fat, and fiber. (Whole wheat flour, brewers yeast, non-fat dry milk, corn starch and guar gum.) There is no added sugar, no preservatives just safe, wholesome ingredients.

Mix the treat ingredients together with a little vegetable oil and lukewarm water. it gets pretty tough kind of like any dough (pizza, bread). Then roll it out and cut it into treat shapes with your favorite cookie cutter. This Holiday Package from Pupolicious came with a cute tree cookie cutter so I used that one!cookie-cutter-christmas-tre

The cookie cutter tree was a perfect size for dog treats during Christmas time. After cutting them all out, I placed them on a baking sheet to toast in the oven for 30-35 minutes. They turned out crispy just like a dog treat from the store!

After the dog treats had cooled, I decorated them with the provided icing mix. All I needed was to add water. The icing dried to the dog treats overnight and then we packaged them up in baggies with gift tags, to give out to all of our dogs doggie friends. (I know cheesy, but cute, right?)

Pupolicious Dog Treats

Pupolicious dog treats are a fun activity that is rewarding too! The treats are safe for dogs and humans alike! We actually did taste them, and they just taste like a wheat-y cracker. Still, I think my pup enjoys them more than we do. :)
While this recipe does have wheat in it, they are also coming up with a wheat-free version for the pups who are allergic or sensitive to wheat! Be on the lookout for that!

Pupolicious dog treat mixes for make at home dog treats can be bought online at the Pupolicious.com store or at Amazon.com what a fun gift for the dog lover!
