Trot with Spot: Easy dog treats to make at home!

It's almost Christmas and if you haven't checked out our online store for great gifts, then perhaps you're interested in some healthy dog treats to make as gifts for dog-owners. All told they took me about 35 minutes to make the dog treats and 25-30 of those minutes were while the treats were baking in the oven.

I made two different types of treats and I have a suspicion that the dogs will favor the peanut butter enhanced one... but I guess I'll have to test it first :) These are also great kid-friendly recipes to make and bake. Doesn't matter if you get a little messy! Click here to get to our recipe page.

1. Peanut butter and banana treats from Whole Foods which I've also listed on our recipe page. You mash up banana, peanut butter, oats, 1 egg and bake them on a sheet in the oven.
2. Apple and carrot treats from My Baking Addiction which is also listed on our recipe page. Here you grate a carrot, add apple sauce, oats, an egg and baking powder. Same deal, mash and put on a baking sheet in cookie or treat form and bake until golden brown.

I recommend grabbing some jars and filling them with the cookies and adding a simple ribbon for decoration. I calculated that per jar of cookies you're only spending around $3. That's a great deal and not a lot of effort! Not to mention, these are all natural ingredients and healthy for your pup.

Here's some pictures of my baking adventures and the final product. Enjoy!
