PET TREATS (continued)
KEALY'S FAVORITE FOR DOGS
Kealy is a tiny Pomeranian with a fluffy, golden coat. Kealy really likes this recipe and
when I have some in my training treats bag, she follows me around, sitting pretty in
front of me, in hopes that I will give her more!
Makes about three dozen treats, depending upon the size of the treats you make
2 cups chicken, cooked, chopped into small pieces or finely shredded
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened, no cinnamon
1/2 cup spinach, fresh, finely chopped
1/2 banana
Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until a thick paste
Drop by teaspoonful onto dehydrator racks (Smaller spoonfuls for small dogs and
larger spoonfuls for bigger dogs) Treats will need 3 to 5 hours in the dehydrator
depending upon the size of the treat (The outside of the treat will be dry and the
inside soft) When done, let treats cool on the rack Store in an airtight container
Treats should be refrigerated if not fed to the dog within several days They will
be fine in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Excess treats can be frozen. Two
to three treats for a small dog; four to five for a larger dog. Variations: Any of
these substitutions will work just as well in this recipe and your dog will be just as
enthusiastic about it I grew the spinach, green beans, zucchini and summer squash
in my garden so while making these treats, I just use what is ready to be picked If
you don't have a garden, check at your local farmer's market for what's fresh
1 Substitute turkey for the chicken
2 Substitute green beans, cooked, finely chopped, for the spinach.
3 Substitute grated fresh zucchini for the spinach
4 Substitute grated fresh summer squash for the spinach
TINY SHRIMP TREATS FOR CATS
This very simple recipe was a favorite with many of our taste test cats Havoc, a
huge, 13 year old Russian Blue, ate this with gusto and he's usually very picky!
Makes as many treats as there are shrimp in the can; usually at least two dozen
1 four ounce can small peeled shrimp. 1/3 cup catnip flowers, fresh. Open the can
of shrimp and pour out the water the shrimp were packed in Put the shrimp in a
small bowl. Chop the catnip flowers into 1/4 inch pieces. Although some leaves are
fine, discard any stems. Add the flowers to the shrimp and mix, taking care not to
break up the shrimp. Some of the flowers will stick to the shrimp; others will not and
that's fine. Put the shrimp and flowers onto the dehydrator rack. The shrimp and
flowers should remain in the dehydrator for about two hours or until thoroughly dry.
Remove shrimp and flowers from the rack and store in an airtight container in the
refrigerator. One or two shrimp and a pinch of flowers makes a good treat for most
cats. Variation: If you can't find any fresh catnip flowers, you can use dehydrated or
dried catnip, just add it to the dehydrated shrimp as you serve your cat a treat
