Easy Dog Treat Recipes

Some Simple and Natural Treats for Dogs:

Our dogs are as different as night and day, and have totally different food favorites. Do you have trouble getting your dog to eat healthy dog treats?

If your dog turns her nose up at most fruits and vegetables, just add a dab of all natural peanut butter to make the treat irresistible. Always remember to wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly and remove seeds and pits before treating your dog. Many seeds and pits are toxic, if eaten.

If you are looking for baked dog treat recipes, be sure to check out our other dog treat recipe pages for easy recipes that are proven favorites.

Our English Springer Spaniel, Sofie, goes for carbs and meats, while our Cavalier King Charles/Cocker mix, Guinevere, is our little vegetarian girl! Otis, our pug, eats pretty much anything.

Here are some of our favorite super-simple natural treats for our dogs:

• apple slices

• strawberry tops

• peach slices

• red or green bell peppers

• romaine lettuce (believe it or not!)

• watermelon

**From Lori: I don't promote something here on the Dog Paw Print site unless I really think it is special. I just purchased this set of books filled with fabulous recipes of all sorts of things that you can cook-up for your dog, and I liked it so much I want to let all of you know about it! There are hundreds of dog treat and dog food recipes and a whole section of homemade treatments that you can make to help with all sorts of dog issues from bad breath to flea problems and skin ailments. I highly recommend this book set!
