How To Make Dog Treats!

We're quite simply obsessed with Serena Nelson-Faber's brand-new book, Healthy Homemade Dog Treats. Featuring beautiful photography, millennial pink pages, and 70+ simple, delicious recipes—including a whole no-bake section—it's endlessly inspiring. How to make dog treats the easy way. The only trouble is deciding what to make first! If you've never made homemade dog treats, let this be the book that gets you into the kitchen. Here Serena shares a couple of summer favourites.

Handy Hint: If the mixture is too dry or wet, add extra oats or coconut oil to correct.

These treats are so yummy they often go missing from the fridge—the flavour combo is a crowd favourite! Like most no-bake treats, these Coconut Bombs take minutes to make and 30 to set.

» 1/3 cup coconut oil

» 2–3 tablespoons organic peanut butter

» 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1. Add coconut oil, peanut butter, and rolled oats to a food processor and mix well.

2. Scoop bite-sized pieces with a spoon and roll into little balls.

3. Toss each ball in shredded coconut until coated.

4. Place on a tray lined with baking paper, refrigerate 30 minutes, and serve.

Handy Hint: You can use any apple for your Edible Kong; however, Granny Smith has the least natural sugar.

Now, even though this is technically "instructions" more than a recipe, it's too

ingenious not to include. With just two ingredients and two steps, it's possibly the easiest dog

treat recipe known to man. Oh—and it will keep your dog entertained for ages.

» 1 small organic Granny Smith apple

» Organic peanut butter for the filling

1. Wash, core, and remove stickers from your apple. Ensure it's fully cored—apple seeds contain cyanide and shouldn't be eaten by dogs.

2. Stuff the core with your desired filling and serve.
