ATTENTION Dog Lovers - How to Make Dog Treats is here!

Here's how to make dog treats that your furry friends will love. Spoil them with healthy, homemade treats they'll absolutely drool over! Fresh, flavorful dog treats are just a dehydrator cycle away!

Happy dog, eating treats

My unique "Chicken Chow" recipe is packed with goodness. Tender cooked chicken, butternut squash and carrots, plus the protein-rich power of quinoa and millet, and a secret blend of essential vitamins - all dehydrated into bite-sized delicious doggie treats! No artificial flavors, preservatives, or fillers here!

All I do is form the mixture into bite sized nugget shapes. Put on your dehydrator and in just a few hours you have tempting chicken-esque blobs that have an irresistible crunch and savory flavor.

Keep a sealed bag of these rewards handy anytime your dog craves their human-equivalent of chicken nuggets!

Discover the joy of creating healthy, personalized treats your dog will adore - from my website buddies - for your tail-wagging best friend!

A Message from Robert

Hi, I'm Robert (but you can call me "Bob"!) and on behalf of "How to Make Dog Treats," I want to tell you that my aunt Susan, who types all this good stuff on Easy Food Dehydrating, said she has a doggie too at their home.

She told me she was a stray who wandered onto her garden one day. My Aunt Susan is really nice, and she and her hubby adopted the little doggie.

She said she didn't want to feed her stray doggie 'any old dog food,' so she made a special nutritious recipe...

Look, I certainly can't complain at all about the fantastic food I get... but I know Aunt Susan needs your help.

You see, there are lots of dogs out there that need your help and are not as lucky as I am.

If you've got any fancy recipes for biscuits or bones, write to me at the bottom of the page!

And just keep on readin' to see who's helped us out so far ~ Woof Woof!

Canned Dog Food Recall!

When we adopted our Miniature Pinscher, it was around the time that major canned dog food manufacturers were having a rough time. Meaning? Some of their food was tainted and had to be recalled.

I thought our little adopted doggie had been through enough, already. Someone had just dumped her at the end of our road. She wandered onto our property and we saved her! Her full story is in the book, above.

That very first week after adopting her, I promised I'd make dog food that was delicious, nutritious, and affordable. Dogs and humans alike can eat the Chicken Chow and Bow Wow Beefy Chow. Why? Because they contain real meat, and ingredients we can all pronounce (even the dogs!)

I LOVE this site: Dog Spoiling Made Easy. One webpage in particular stood out for me: brushing your dog's teeth. We realized our doggie was in distress. Her teeth were all just about falling out. Our bad, totally. Peanut butter was the culprit. So, after a hefty $1k bill to fix her up, we heeded Val's advice to brush your dogs' teeth!

Wiggleworthy to the rescue!

If you're looking to feed your best friend healthy treats, then please visit me! These dog treat recipes are totally wiggle-worthy. All the best ones are!

Dog owners know the wiggle, right? If your pup is anything like mine, it's not just his tail that wags when he's happy... his whole rear end wiggles like crazy!

The same thing will happen to your pooch when you make delicious homemade dog treats just for them. And that will make you (almost) as happy as he is. It's a win-win situation.

She shares how to make dehydrated dog treats like "Sweet Potatoes" and "Apples or Bananas."
