Last Updated:November 23, 2018

Personalized Dog Treat Label

2. Type the canine recipient's name or treat type into the template. Print onto full-page self-adhesive sticker sheets from office supply stores.

3. Cut out the label and stick it to your treat jar or tin.

Whip up these healthy dog treats, single ingredient required!

Luscious Liver Treats

All you need is liver! Needless to say, dogs love these treats.

1. Rinse one pound of fresh beef or chicken liver.

2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.

3. Add liver and simmer for 1/2 to 3/4 hours until well done.

4. Allow liver to cool.

5. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes and spread on a foil-lined baking sheet.

6. Bake at 250° F for a minimum of 2 hours.

7. Liver is done when dry to touch and shrunk to about half (cubes now ~1/4 inch).

*Tip: Save the cooking water and use a little as broth to perk up your dog's dinner!

All you need is five minutes prep and a single raw yam or sweet potato. Pure, easy, unadulterated treats don't get healthier or cheaper.

1. Preheat oven to 250° F.

2. Scrub the sweet potato or yam. No need to peel.

3. Cut into thin slices (thinner = shorter cook) and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer.

4. Bake at 250° F about 3 hours for chewy, or longer for crunchy. Timing varies by thickness—keep an eye on them. Or use a dehydrator instead of the oven.

Preparation & feeding steps

four measures from the nutrition desk

Talk to your vet before adding any supplement to the bowl.

Weigh the meal - a kitchen scale beats a scooping cup every single time.

Introduce one new ingredient at a time, at least three days apart.

Split the daily ration into two or three calm, seated sittings.
