Declicous Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Baking your dog a good treat can be fun and rewarding. It’s also beneficial because it allows you to know and pick what the ingredients are in your dog’s treats. With home baked goods there are no additives, so you can be confident with what your dog is snacking on. You will also save money on dog treats, because making your own will prove to be less expensive. Making your own also gives you room to play around with different tastes, sizes, and accustom to suit your pup for any special needs they may have (like allergies!). Baking a little love into your pooch’s edible rewards will leave you both smiling. Here is a great and simple recipe for some yummy peanut butter dog biscuits that your pup will be sure to enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. spelt flour (if you don’t have it, use wheat flour in its place)
1 c. quick-cooking rolled oats
2 TBSP flax seeds
1-1/4 c. warm water
1/4 c. natural peanut butter
Yields 24 dog biscuits

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the flour, oats and flax seeds in a large mixing bowl.
Add the peanut butter and stir in the water.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Add in more flour, little by little, until the dough is no longer sticky.
Roll out the dough until it’s approximately 1/4″ thick. Use a fun dog cookie cutter or simply cut into squares.
Bake for 20 minutes and then let cool.

Solutions for Dog Shedding

Shedding is a general issue owners come across with their furry friends. Even shorter-haired dog breeds leave loose hairs scattered about the house. It is impossible to avoid shedding entirely, but there are ways to tame it. Typically a dog’s coat will shed the most during the spring season to adjust with the climate change, although shedding happens year round. Brushing is a priority if you want to relieve your dog’s coat of unruly hairs that may swarm your house. Try to brush your pup once a week, if not every day. Running a dog brush or dog comb through your pooch’s coat will help maintain it to be softer, cleaner, and shinier. In return, brushing will also help whisk away detached hairs. You always want to be using the right tools, so researching dog brushes and combs will be helpful for this process. When brushing, try and also run the brush in the reverse direction. Doing this will assist in any dead hairs you may have missed during the first run through. Finish with one last brush through the fur and a quick run of the dog comb. If your dog has shorter hair the process won’t be as rigorous, but it should still be cared for with a good dog brush and comb. There are also grooming gloves that provide small rubber teeth on the bottom to free loose hairs off squirmy dogs. If you own an extra furry friend it may be beneficial to invest in a shedding blade, which is simply a band of metal with a jagged edge attached to a handle for thick dog coats. Dog shedding blades should be used outside or in a garage because the amount of fur released could get messy. Dogs sporting long hair may even be due for a haircut – keeping canine coats trimmed helps with less mess. Bathing your dog occasionally will aid in preserving a healthy coat and keep pesky straggle hairs under control. No mess has to get too hairy!

Keeping Dirty Clean

It’s true, sometimes dogs get dirty. Bodily functions are just a natural part of life that all breathing animals and humans experience. For owners that have female dogs in season, Aunt Flo is an issue to be tackled. Thankfully there are dog panties for that time of the month. Dog panties can also be used for untrained puppies and dogs that urinate when they become overexcited. For those terribly cold days, or for puppies in training, an indoor dog potty mat is a great idea. Having to pick up after Fido on walks may be unpleasant; but dog scoopers, dog waste bags, and dog waste bag holders help the process run smoother. With a dog scooper you don't have to use your hands to do the dirty work. It’s the most practical idea for picking up messes sanitarily. Bringing along a grocery bag on your walks can become irritating, but with dog waste bags and dog waste bag holders it will be discreet and out of the way. These great products help keep messes in line. Accidents and mushy messes will never be a concern of yours again!

Dog Dishes

It’s time to get rid of those old dog dishes and invest in a new set! Dogs deserve new dishes just as much as us. Even the dog dishes that are simply designed have style. Ceramic dog bowls are commonly used by owners. Our Cutie Paw Dog Dishes are a great ceramic choice, offering beautifully colored bowls with great depth. There are also Anti-Skid Dog Bowls for pups with pushing snouts. The rubber base keeps the dish from going all over, and the stainless steel design saves the bowl of scratches. It’s a logical decision for hungry hounds. If separate dishes aren’t your thing, check out our Twin Feeder With Bowls – they have been created to serve as efficiently as two divided bowls without the separation. Some dogs love eating so much that they overeat when they are fed. To steer clear of belly aches and upset stomachs perhaps it is time to buy your dog a Slow Feeder Dog Bowl. The three pegs in the center of the plastic bowl have been veterinarian tested and recommended to keep dogs from scarfing down their food at record rates. Feeding time won’t be a disaster ever again. Check out all of our dog bowl options and pick your pup’s perfect fit today!

Comfortably Warm

Fall weather has taken over, which means it is time to treat your pup to some new dog hoodies and dog sweaters. There is nothing better than being cozy when the weather cools down (and your pup will agree)! With so many colors to choose from, a basic dog hoodie is a simply stylish solution. For added comfort there are even basic fleece dog hoodies, they are so cozy that you will want one for yourself. There are also dog sweaters to keep your furry friend clear of the fretful cold. A basic cable knit dog sweater is a great choice, or you can get funky with a peace sign dog sweater. You can even get festive with a snowman dog sweater. No matter what style you decide on for keeping your canine snug, it is sure that your pal will be more than thankful - your dog will never be chilly again.

Treat Your Dog

Dog treats are a great way to reward your furry friend. They are also fantastic for bonding with your pup or just plain spoiling them. There are many appetizing options when it comes to enticing your dog’s taste buds. If your canine prefers to chew, there is quite a variety of dog chews and dog rawhides for your knawing buddy. You won’t be the only one in the cookie jar after you spoil your pooch with some delectible dog cookies, try the Gourmet Dog Cookies With Sprinkles – they look as good as they taste! You can even keep your canine’s cookies festive with a Gourmet Halloween Dog Cookies Box in the fall or a Holiday Dog Cookies Box for the winter holidays. Or, keep it simple, yet delicious, with some Ranch Rewards Dog Treat Jars. It is promised that whatever choice you make, your dog will be happily treated.

Walking In Style

Harnesses don’t have to be as bland anymore. With the rising popularity of harness outfits, it seems more dogs are taking their walks in comfortable style. Harness outfits are made in a wide variety of styles, including dresses, tops, vests, and jackets. Instead of buying a jacket and then a harness, you can just strap on the doggie harness jacket and save yourself some time. Even Harley lovers get in on the action with a biker harness dog outfit. Pretty puppies can even be treated with a flower dog harness dress. Showing off personality has never been so easy. Browse the options and find that perfect look for your pooch.

Helping Your Puppy Step Up

Getting around should always be easy for your furry friend. Smaller breeds, older dogs, and disabled pups are more likely to need help accessing spots that typically require a jump to reach. Providing doggie steps to areas your pup needs assistance getting to is a great idea! There are also dog ramps for pups who even find stepping difficult. Since small dogs can’t jump as high with their little legs, dog steps will help them curl up next to you in bed without aggravation. Many elder dogs lose their strength with old age and can’t get to places like they use to. Putting doggie steps in your pup’s favorite spots will help ease frustration of lost muscle and allow them to still get to where they want to be. This is also a great idea for disabled dogs. Being able to reach higher grounds will help boost confidence and squash any irritation. Not only will dog steps help your pal be more independent, but the designs offered are posh so your house décor stays beautiful.

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub

Even though dogs love to get messy, giving them a good cleaning will leave for a happy tail. While regular shampoo and conditioner works on human hair just fine, washing your pup down with special dog shampoo and conditioner is essential. The line of doggie hair care products is explosive, offering quite the variety of types and smells. If you are looking for an effective dog shampoo that can leave any coat shiny, try the baking soda dog shampoo, it’s base of baking soda helps eliminate odors without leaving any grease. If your pup suffers from dandruff, DerMed dog shampoo can solve the problem. Prefer a sweet smell? The Citrilux dog shampoo is bursting with citrus scents, or there is a Green Tea and Mint dog shampoo that will leave your pup smelling minty fresh. Once you have picked out the best dog shampoo for your canine, follow it up with a great dog conditioner! Just like dog shampoos, there are many dog conditioners for your sudsy pal (everything from All-Purpose dog conditioner to SPA Nourish dog conditioner for a ritzy feeling finish). After a refreshing scrub down, there is even hair styling gel for dogs that want to look extra chic. Bath time with Fido will become a favorite in no time.

Doggie Bed Season

Summer is closing its doors for the year. Sad, we know. Chilled temperatures and earlier night fall means hibernation season is coming up on us, so perhaps it is time to spoil your pup with a new doggie bed. Picking out the perfect dog bed is never limited with such a variety of styles, colors, fabrics, and sizes to choose from. There are comfy berber dog beds, plush nesting dog beds, and cloud dog cushions for easy resting. If your pup prefers to curl up in the sheets, invest in a cuddle dog blanket for the best in warmth and comfort. For the fancier route in relaxing try a hooded dog bed, a Furcedes dog bed, or a reversible snuggle bug dog bed. There are even orthopedic memory foam dog beds for pups with weary bones. After some browsing, it is sure that your pooch will never toss and turn again.

Fall Fleas and Ticks

Summer is unraveling and fall is taking over. Climates are dropping and the comfortable fall temps are infested with fleas. Ticks colonize in heaps of fallen leaves. Staying aware of the conditions is important for your dog. Pesky fleas and ticks cause itchy discomfort on your pooch’s skin. If the situation is bad enough, your poor pup could even turn ill. Keeping tidy in and around the house, as well as keeping alert of your canine’s whereabouts, will assist in preventing the itchy bugs. There are many remedies if your poor pup does end up suffering from fleas and ticks, including powders, sprays, dips, shampoos, flea combs, and collars. Before taking matters into your own hands, it is recommended to consult the veterinarian first. Fall weather is beautiful, let’s enjoy it itch free!

Canine Car Seats

Bringing your pooch along for a car ride just got easier! Owning a dog car seat will help keep hair (and paws) in one spot during rides, as well as promise comfort for your furry friend. Canine car seats come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and fabrics. While style is great to have, it is important to choose the right fit that can give full safety for your pal. Smaller pups do well with dog booster seats because they offer security and a window view. If securing your pup during the rides isn’t your concern, purchasing a dog car seat cover may be the best option when it comes to keeping your car interior prestine. There are even heated dog car seat covers for those extra chilly days. Keeping your dog comfy and your car clean has never been so easy. With a dog car seat made for all sizes your dog will be riding comfortably (and safely!) in no time.
