Dog Friendly Stew and Baked Carob Dog Treat | Homemade Dog Treat Recipes

How did you spend your Mother’s Day? This year’s celebration included the newest addition to my family..my little one..a 3 month old rescue pup named Sweetie Bear..It was definitely love at first sight/ first cuddle..

Cooking up a special meal at our house included not only cooking for my Mom..but we had fun creating a special meal for Sweetie Bear! Rescue pups are really special..so if you can.. provide a loving home to one or become a foster pet parent!
And you can have fun creating  fresh, wholesome meals and  snacks for your dog..here is  Sweetie Bear’s Sunday menu (these are recipes that I created especially for dogs, but use human grade ingredients)
 
Sweetie Bear’s Puppy Dog Stew
1 cup of brown rice
1 lb of chicken
2 fresh zucchini
Boil rice ,chicken and zucchini till soft (dogs don’t digest starches easily ,so boil rice till very soft). Drain and  when cool drizzle the olive oil and place in a food processor to chop, but do not puree, food can be in small chunks.
 
 Carob Puppy Dog Treats
1 1/2 cups rice flour
1 1/2 cups oat flour
3/4 cup carob
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup water
1 egg
Mix all ingredients together till well blended.Roll out dough to 1 inch thickness. Cut into shapes. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in oven preheated to 375 for 20 minutes.
