DOGGY DELIGHTS

Healthy, Homemade Cookie Treats

by Amy Coyle

One morning, Randy Roach awoke to a delicious aroma waft ing from the kitchen of his Philadelphia home. Mouth watering, he peeked in the oven to fi nd a dozen bone-shaped cookies—meant not for him, but for Woods, the family dog. “Such is life when you live with a dog lover,” laughs Randy’s wife Kate, who had peanut butter, oat and fl ax seed cookies baking for their rescued Labrador mix, a picky eater. Cooking treats for canine family members is a smart move, as they are eco-friendly, cost less and are healthier than company-made ones, say veterinarians.

A Smaller Pawprint

With the focus on decreasing personal carbon footprints, an Earth-conscious dog owner may want to make dog biscuits at home purely for the lower environmental impact. Research from UCLA shows that industrial production of dog and cat food creates the equivalent in greenhouse gases of 13 million cars annually. Storebought dog treats require oil, energy and water to produce and transport. Th e packaging oft en contains plastic or other non-biodegradable materials, which cause pollution, block drains and harm wildlife. Making treats at home is simple and less tricky nutritionally than making a dog’s regular meals. “When it comes to regular dog food, I’m not a proponent of home-cooked food. It is far too diffi cult to balance nutrients. For treats, I am not so concerned,” says Lawrence Gallagher, VMD, at Villanova Vet, in Villanova, Pennsylvania. “But you need to watch calories.

Treats should be ‘high-reward’ and low-calorie, not necessarily big in size. Th ey are used as a reward, not to fi ll the stomach.” Homemade dog treats cost less over time. Many popular traditional dog treats are $5 to $10 per bag, with organic costing more. Kate fi gures she saves as much as $20 a month making Woods’ treats.

A Healthy Choice

Th e labels on many commercial dog treats list dubious ingredients such as meat by-products, sugar, sodium metabisulfi te (a bleaching agent), propylene glycol and artifi cial colors. “My general rule of thumb is if you cannot pronounce or don’t recognize an ingredient, it is probably not healthy for your pet,” says Alison Streit Birken,

DVM, owner of Victoria Park Animal Hospital, in Fort Lauderdale.

In addition, some packaged treats are produced in countries where ingredient and manufacturing regulations are less rigorous, which has led to illness and even death in dogs.

Getting Started

No special equipment is required. Mixing bowls, measuring spoons, a wooden spoon, baking sheets and a cooling rack will

suffi ce. More ambitious treat-makers might want a muffi n pan for custom shapes. Common ingredients include pumpkin, bananas, yogurt and peanut butter. When choosing a recipe, aim for no or little sugar. (Honey and molasses are simple sugars.) Also, because homemade treats have no preservatives, be sure to follow storage requirements such as refrigeration or freezing.

Jen Jovinelly, a DVM candidate at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, promotes simple treats. “Treats are not food. Keep the caloric intake from treats under 10 percent of your dog’s daily caloric requirement.” She also cautions to avoid foods that could be dangerous, such as chocolate, grapes, raisins, avocados, certain nuts, onions, garlic or artifi cial sweeteners. If unsure about the safety of an ingredient, check the online list at Th e Humane Society of the United States (HumaneSociety.org) or consult with a veterinarian or animal nutritionist.

For those that aren’t inclined to bake, toys fi lled with organic peanut butter, then frozen, keep dogs happy, while others love the crunch of raw carrots or broccoli. As Birken says, “You can always go to your own refrigerator and pick out some great, healthy dog treats!”

More Healthful Treat Recipes

Th e internet has countless dog biscuit and treat recipes, along with collections of recipes for special occasions and holidays. For a simple start, look for recipes that only have a few ingredients that are already in the kitchen, such as those at PuppyLeaks.com/ simple-dog-treat-recipes. Great books include Th e Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook, by Liz Palika, and Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook, by Th e Bubba Rose Biscuit Company.
