Peanut Butter Dog Treats

History

Even though I was already feeding my two little dogs super premium grain-free dog food, many of the commercially prepared food ingredients made me rethink their diet. In my quest to switch my dogs to a better diet, I started studying canine nutrition and making homemade "mutt loaf" for my geriatric Italian Greyhound, Charlie, and my newly adopted mini Sheltie mix, Piper.

After many months of experimenting with ingredients for optimal nutrition, I fine-tuned my own proprietary recipes for six flavors of treats. Many dogs were willing and eager to taste test! The six flavors I am offering for sale are lab tested for their guaranteed analysis and are licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. More flavors are in development, and I’m having fun adapting from baking for humans to baking for pets.

My treats are made thin so my tiny dogs can enjoy them. Finding treats that my aging Italian Greyhound, who is missing many teeth, could eat was a challenge. After much experimenting with size and thickness, my little guy can enjoy both the one-inch size and the 1.5 inch biscuits. Anything smaller than 1 inch, he swallowed whole. He was a most willing test subject!
