Dog Hiking Adventures

Dog Hiking Adventures

My close friend and old employee Adrienna McKnee has bought and is running my old dog hiking business. This is a wonderful service that she provides..
Dogs are picked up, taken for a 5-12 km hike with up to 8 dogs, then dropped off.
Dogs will come back exhausted....happy and content.

For more information, please call Adrienna at 250-540-5566

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk.
Add wet mixture to dry, and mix well.
Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll out to 1/4-inch thick and cut out shapes.
Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a rack and then store in an airtight container.
Makes 30 large dog treats.
These last about a week with my pack. If you are feeding (treating) one dog or small dogs and need them to stay fresh longer than a week they can be dehydrated. Place the cookies on a baking sheet back in a cool oven. Leave the door closed over night for the moisture to be removed. I use my food dehydrator instead of the oven method. They can also be stored in the fridge."
