Chocolate chips cookies are everyone's favorite classic cookie (to the warm, soft cookies to the super crunchy, crispy chocolate chip cookie). The only problem is that dogs CAN'T share or enjoy these cookies with us. So, we have a chocolate chip cookie substitute. We're going to show you how to make Homemade Cranberry Cookie Dog Treats!
We care about our pets so we're extra careful when deciding what will go into their bodies. When using ingredients to make your pet treats, make sure they have no added sugar. Added sugars could be harmful and toxic for your pet's health.
If you do want something sweeter for your pets, definitely use organic honey. Honey is rich in vitamins B and C. It contains nutrients including enzymes, minerals, iron and many more! Raw honey can help dogs who suffer from environmental allergies like pollen. It can also be soothing for pets with digestive issues or an upset stomach.
We love using oats when we make dog treats because oats are a great alternative carbohydrate for dogs that may be sensitive to wheat or grains. Oats contain vitamin B, which helps maintain a healthy coat and keeps your dog's skin strong and healthy. It's also a great source of fiber, making it great for dogs with bowel irregularity issues. Make sure the oats are cooked before serving to your pets.
Coconut is great for your dog's skin and overall health. Cranberries can improve your dog's bladder health, reduce tartar and plaque build up in teeth, fight bacteria and help prevent cancer among other benefits.
