I love cooking and the pups love when I cook too!
While I was working on my epic pancake lunch I had some helpers. Something I haven’t talked about much is that I used to make homemade dog food all the time. While I love doing this my health took a downturn and I didn’t have the capability to do it anymore. We found a good limited ingredient food that they love and now instead of making their full meals I make toppers or mix ins a few times a month.
There are a lot of things that we might consider waste that can be blended into pet food toppers like the stems of mushrooms or carrot peelings. The dogs know if I pull out the mini blender while I am cooking, something good is coming.
The whole time I was peeling apples to make cinnamon apples I had an audience. I gave all three pups a small bite of apples while I was slicing them and man were those tails wagging!
I blended all the peels with some water and cinnamon and we added that to their dinner, so they got a taste of our meal themselves.
Do you make special treats for your pets? I would love to hear about them!
