WHATS REALLY IN DOG FOOD!!!

This is a real reality check for those of us who think we might be feeding our loving furry family memebers "good food". The reality of whats really in grocery store pet food (exception being Costco's Kirkland Dog Food). YES!!! That includes Walmart too! Please buy a good quality pet food from one of your local pet stores. You will spend the same amount of money, as foods that have corn in them you feed double of one that does not! Not to mention less vet bills.



WARNING! This video is a little graphic.

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."
