A CUPCAKE TOWER FOR YOUR FUR FRIEND’S SPECIAL DAY = DOGGY HEAVEN

We recently had a special occasion in this household celebrating our senior member of our 3 strong Hungarian Vizsla family – it was Toffee’s 13th birthday.

Of course, to celebrate such a wonderful birthday for our much loved girl, nothing short of a Doggy masterpiece would do. I decided on a Doggy Cupcake Tower which was more than awesome when it was done, (sorry for bragging), but it was a huge success and 100% doggy approved.

If you are having a special occasion with your much-loved furbby, I would like to share this fool-proof recipe that your birthday boy or girl will thoroughly enjoy. I have also included a you tube video showing you how to make this.

Let’s Get Started

500gm minced beef

6 eggs well beaten

1-1/2 cups sifted wholemeal flour

1 tsp. baking powder

3/4 cup of oatmeal

3/4 cup coconut oil

Finely chopped parsley

1-1/2 cups carrots

1 package of cream cheese or plain 100% Peanut Butter and Doggy treats to decorate (I used Gravy Bones or Markies)

Mix/beat together the beef with all the wet ingredients. Stir in dry ingredients. Mix well. Transfer the mixture to cupcake cases. Cook at 180C degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to cool. Decorate with either pure Peanut Butter or Cream Cheese and top with your dog’s favourite treat.

Pure unadulterated Doggy Heaven.

LET’S MAKE DOG BISCUITS – HEALTHY EATING FOR OUR BEST FRIENDS

Have you ever taken the time to read the ingredients in some dog treats and food? Shock horror will follow. The ingredients that you should try and avoid
are:

Meat and grain meals and by products

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) – chemical compound – effective alternative is Vitamin E

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) – another chemical compound

Ethoxyquin – a PESTICIDE that controls scald on pears after harvest. Used in dog foods as a preservative to prevent the rancidification of fats. Yikes!

Food dyes (dogs do not see colour the way we do – so why do manufacturers put food colourants in their food) – avoid all food colorants (blue 2, red 40, yellow 5 and 6, 4-MIE

Corn and wheat gluten

PG (propylene Glycol) – antifreeze – again Yikes!

Rendered fat

Some of these ingredients you can’t even pronounce and they are not necessary in dog food. Make sure you read the composition before you buy. There are a lot of really good dog foods out there, so if you want a healthy dog with good strong bones and teeth and a shiny coat, pay attention to what you feed your pet.

I have three Hungarian Vizslas who are hugely energetic so I like to have homemade clean healthy eating treats on hand for them.

Here is a great recipe that takes minutes to put together and your dogs will love you for putting in the effort.

SARDINE OAT BISCUITS

300 grams or 1- 1/3 cup of oatmeal

60 grams or 1/3 cup of wholemeal flour

2 tins of sardines in sunflower oil

Put the sardines with the oil into a bowl and mash up. Add the oats and wholemeal flour and mix through the sardines. Gradually add small amounts of water until the mixture forms a ball. Cover your work surface in a small amount of wholemeal flour and roll out your mixture to 1/2 inch thick (1-1/4cms).

I use a small heart or dog bone cookie cutter and this makes about 5 dozen.

Bake in a pre-heated oven 190C/375F for 20-25 mins. Store in a container – not necessarily airtight.

Stay tuned for more clean healthy eating recipes for your furbbies.
