That Time of Year!




As I close out this year, I want to say Thank you to all who have stopped in to read my blog. As I have stated in the past, I am a non-writing dog trainer, so I hope you found my blog interesting, funny at times and helpful.

I am starting to learn more about dog nutrition and how important what goes into our dogs affects them behaviorally. With the Holiday quickly approaching, we don't want to load our dogs up with Grains, Sugar and Starch and I am sure you will want to give your dog a Special treat. So here is a Holiday recipe you can whip up for your favorite pup!



Ginger Snap Dog Cookies
  • 1 cup Sunflower seed meal (use food processor)
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (not the spiced kind used for pies)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped carrots optional (use food processor) 
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine Sunflower Seed meal, flax meal, ginger and carrots (optional) in a large bowl. Mix egg and pumpkin together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add half of the pumpkin mixture to the Sunflower seed mixture, stir, then add the rest and stir again with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Drop dough onto parchment paper and spread to desired thickness (about 1/8" - 1/4" thick).
Bake for 20 minutes until the top of the cookie has dried out completely. Let cookies cool on wire racks, then store in an airtight container.
(Makes 12 dog cookies.)

Signing off until January 2015!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
My Best,
Dru Therrian and Daisy
