We love making healthy dog treats for our pets. We also love that we can incorporate our products into them! This recipe can be used with all of our products, except for our topical care products! That just wouldn’t taste very good.
For this recipe, we decided to use our Multi Minerals to give these treats an added boost of nutrients. Another great way to incorporate our products into treats is once the dough is made, cut them out with cookie cutters or roll into balls without the product in them. Once out of the oven, add the dosing amount (as per your dogs weight) to each biscuit. This way, it’s easy to tell how much is in each biscuit without accidentally giving to much or too little. The dry biscuits will soak up the NaturPet product. Once they are dry, place them in an air tight container to help keep them fresh.
