I make homemade doggie treats for my babies, and I bet your asking yourself "Why would she do that?"

Well here’s why - Have you ever read the ingredients on a bag of doggie treats? Enriched and bleached wheat flour, soy flour, high fructose corn syrup, propylene glycol, chicken by-product meal, calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, and salt - the list goes on and on! The worst of all was the yellow 5, yellow 6, and red 40 used as food coloring that is being linked to so many different aliments, but because its not for human consumption, its OK to use. Also there's three different preservatives in the treats. BHA, sorbic acid, citric acid..

The last thing I would ever want is for my puppy eating really bad chemicals. I have had my Buddy for 10 years. Over that time he has had many health problems; skin conditions, scratching, hotspots, flee allergies, chewing and trouble with his back. I have had him on many different medications and found that none of them worked. Then I heard about the wheat gluten from China in the dog food that was killing the puppies. At that point, I realized I needed to do something to help my Buddy.

So I went on the search for good quality dog food and doggie treats. Could not find much in stores or even at the vet's office, and the recipes that I did find were not any better then the store bought stuff. I was shocked to find that mostly of them also had 2nd class ingredients and cheap fillers. At this point I realized that I had to be proactive and take responsibility for the health of my Buddy. No wheat gluten's, hydrogenated oils, or heavy dense sweeteners.

Oh MY! I am on my own here, so here we go ..

I call this 'My Bright Eyed Happy Puppy Treat'

2 cups of raw carrot's

2 organic eggs

2 tbs of garlic

1 cup of rolled oats

2 cups of a gluten & wheat free flour

½ cup parsley

2 tbs of olive oil

Combine eggs, carrots,garlic,olive oil together . then combine dry ingredients. Roll out on floured surface. Cut in shapes or squares. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached. Brush with egg whites to make shiny. Store in an air tight container.

My babies really like my cooking. They can’t wait till it’s treat time.

By the way ... Its also a really great way to get them to go pee pee potties.
