This dough is far more forgiving and easy to work with. Anita’s recipe is healthier and includes pumpkin, which is good for pups. I had made dog treats in the past, but the dough was a pain to handle and I didn’t really like the recipe. As any self-respecting Labrador Retriever would, Kaweah gobbled them down with gusto. When I saw her last fall, she gave me a little bag of homemade dog treats to give to Kaweah. Whole wheat flour, eggs, pumpkin purée, peanut butter The better news is that she loves loves loves these treats. The good news is that they are way cheaper than store-bought treats and really easy to make. Store-bought dog treats are not inexpensive, so I started making treats for Kaweah at home. Ready for a treat after an icy, cold swim She’s not smart enough to realize that five little treats are less than five giant treats. So we try to maximize the joy by giving her little treats. The act of eating a treat (or anything for that matter) is probably Kaweah’s favorite activity. Of course, given her druthers, Kaweah would eat 24/7.
It helps that she’s got great muscle tone and isn’t overweight. She’s been a healthy dog for her 13+ years. Kaweah comes from good stock and we see that more and more as she ages. However, her dog food doesn’t make her coat shiny.
We used to feed her regular Iams, but now she’s on Iams for “mature” dogs. People often ask what we feed Kaweah, because she has a shiny, healthy coat. Rejoicing in the snow (just like her people) I swear she makes every day that much better with her wagging tail, sweet disposition, and general goofiness. We have one of those happy, hopeful pups. Maybe not ALL dogs, but most dogs – especially the ones I meet on the trail or at the beach or basically anyplace outside. They’re always happy, always hopeful, always up for anything.
