If your pets are as loved as ours, it means that the holidays include gifts and treats for them as well as for the kids! Our two spaniels are “foodies” in the world of dogs, and enjoy a quality treat, filled with natural ingredients.
And as with our kids, we like to think beyond the “material” and give them gifts that come with benefits. This year our pooches (and our dog friends) are enjoying a batch of homemade Cranberry Crunch cookies made with all natural Dog for Dog DOGSBUTTER.
Made just for dogs, DOGSBUTTER is way healthier than your processed store-bought peanut butter. Made with all natural ingredients like peanuts and flaxseed and full of omega-3 antioxidants and vitamin E it has no added sugar, no salt, no hydrogenated oils – and it makes amazing dog cookies!
We had Tugger help us making some healthy Cranberry Crunch Dogsbutter cookies just for HIM, using the DogsButter and fresh Cranberries that have added health benefits including being rich in vitamins including A, B1, B2, C, and filled with minerals and antioxidants, promote good urinary tract health and have even been said to have cancer fighting benefits.
Cranberry Crunch DogsButter Cookies
1 cup of Flour (white or WholeWheat)
1 Egg
3 TBS Dog Butter
3 TBS Vegetable Oil
1/4 C Water
1/3 Cup Oats
1/3 Cup Fresh Cranberries
Mix all ingredients in a bowl (except the fresh cranberries) until fully combined. Form each “cookie” into a ball and add a fresh cranberry to the middle. Pop on an un-greased cookie sheet, and top with a second fresh cranberry. Bake at 350 for apx 30 minutes.
Cool…. and Enjoy!
Now, enjoying fresh baked dog cookies, filled with heathy ingredients is one thing, but knowing the story behind the Dog for Dog products is even MORE important.
“In December of 2011, Rocky Kanaka founded DOG for DOG after feeling frustrated that he was not able to do enough to help dogs in need. He wanted to start a company with a buy-one give-one model, so that the he could help rescue dogs in whatever way he could.
As the owner of The Dog Bakery (www.thedogbakery.com), Rocky got right down to work and started hand-making the first DOGSBARs along side is General Manager and Head Dog Pastry Chef, Kelly Hannaford.
DOG for DOG decided to incorporate food into its line of products and began working with top nutritionists to develop a premium dog food with the very best ingredients.”
Now, with every purchase of a Dog for Dog product, your pet AND another shelter pet get to enjoy the all natural ingredients in their snacks.
Dogstreats, Dogsbars are made with all natural ingredients and great for a healthy snack on the go and can be found at PetSmart locations across the country!
Of course, Tugger loves that other dogs get to share his treats… but he still says the BEST part of baking Cranberry Crunch Dogsbutter cookies is….. licking the spoon!
I mean, EVERYONE loves licking the spoon after baking!
