My kids absolutely adore their dog and we love making dog treats for our K9 companion. I enjoy making treats for him because it’s something the kids and I can do together in the kitchen and I know exactly what ingredients are going into the treats I make for my dog. I know, I know, he’s only a dog, but he’s also a family member and I care about him and his health!
Sweet potatoes and apples are some of my favorite foods so it makes sense my dog loves them, too! When the kids and I make these dog treats, I roll them into balls and they “squish” them and place them onto the baking sheet. This causes lots of laughs and giggles and funny sounds of squishing the dough. We always have fun making these.
If you don’t want to roll your treats into balls and squish them, you can always flatten them into a pan (use your fingers) and cut them with a pizza cutter or sharp knife before baking them. And depending on the thickness of your dough, you may have to put them in for a shorter or longer baking time. Check after 20 minutes to make sure they aren’t burning.
I’m certain your pooch will love these homemade dog treats as much as I do!
