Hey…great site!
Who knew it was so simple to feed your dog such nutritious home cooked meals and treats. My concern was…an instructor of mine mentioned that baby food is not good to give to dogs because it contains onion powder…and we all know dogs aren’t supposed to eat onions. Any comments/corrections/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
Hi Lauren, thanks for complimenting my site! I appreciate it.
You are right to be concerned about adding onions and onion powder to your dog’s food.
Dogs (and cats, too) lack an enzyme that’s needed to properly digest onions. Large amounts of both onions and garlic can lead to gas, diarrhea and gastrointestinal distress.
However, the “seasoning amounts” typically used in baby food are not likely to cause any kind of problems.
It’s important to not feed your dog any treat in excess, though. Obesity is a serious problem for dogs and just like us, overdoing any special “treat” will have consequences.
The above recipe makes 24 servings. My baby, Sam, loves them, but he knows it’s not going to be “all you can eat”. I suggest making a batch and not giving your dog more than a few. Next time he/she relieves himself, you’ll know if he’s having any problems with digestion.
Please let me know how it turns out!
How long and how do you store these treats
Hi
Great site!! I was just wondering how long these treats are good for? expiry dates on them? thank you
Maybe you have ever heard concerning the Epa and flea preventive drops? Why can’t everybody respect cats nearly as much as we do? It’ pretty unsettling just what exactly many of these products are causing to our cats.
i have cats.. large, furry and arrogant as only cats can be and recently we ( cats and me) adopted a small furry dog, who thinks she is a cat!! they get along very well and like each others food and treats.. the vet says there is no problem with this? great recipes and for such a low price!
I used leftover roasted chicken in the recipe instead of the baby food and pureed in a cuisinart with a little homemade chicken stock, this is so much better than the
baby food, because I know there are no chemical or onions in it. They came out fantastic.
I’m an Invisible Fence Brand dealer and I’ve been looking for a healthy treat that I can make and hand out to all my dog loving friends and customers! These look great!
I just wanted to chime in on the baby food issue for future readers. I’m a tech at an emergency veterinary hospital. Baby food is fine for dogs…of course in limited amounts, as with any treats. We actually use baby food at the hospital I work at sometimes to tempt anorexic animals back to eating if they’ve been very ill and aren’t interested in normal foods.
