Hello Tina, 

Thanks for this information and all of the great information you send out. 

Would you please contact me off-line? One of our chapter members has encountered a guide dog related challenge. 

Have a great day,

Hello CAGDU community- Below are some fun recipes we can make for our furry pups.

Apple Bones

You Will Need:

1 large apple

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup of water

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 cup oatmeal 

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

peanut butter

•              Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

•              Chop up the apple pieces pretty fine. (You can use applesauce if you like)

•              Combine all of the ingredients except the flour.

•              Gradually add the flour until your dough is stiff enough to roll out.

•              I used this cute, little bone cookie cutter but you can just drop in circles and flatten.

•              Bake for 30 minutes and then lightly spread peanut butter over them, if desired. <Poppy desired the peanut butter!>

•              Cook an additional 30 minutes and let cool. The peanut butter will harden making a nice, tasty frosting.

Taste them! They're not too bad!

Apples, Cinnamon, Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin…these are the flavors of the season. We go crazy for lattes, pie, cookies, candles, everything and anything containing those ingredients or scents. All the while, someone close to you is feeling very left out. Your best friend! Staring at you with those big eyes (I have an expert beggar on my hands), hoping you’ll be kind enough to share a bite. 

Don’t leave your dog out when you’re celebrating the tastes of the season! Apples, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin are actually all very common ingredients in homemade dog treats. Dogs love these flavors and they are really healthy for your pup. Homemade dog treats are super simple to make and you can easily tailor the recipe for any special diets. So next time you’re in the baking mood, whip up a quick batch of healthy homemade dog treats for your pooch! 

Olive was very patient in letting me photograph her before eating these cookies. They are her new favorite treat! 

I just know your pooch will love these biscuits as much as Olive did, so don’t let fall pass without baking them up at your house too. They’re also great as hostess gifts for pet-loving pals. Imagine the delight when your friends get to indulge in

 and their pooch gets a mason jar full of homemade dog treats!

Notes: 

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Treats: 

These are the treats that are pictured. 

1/2 teaspoon of salt can be added to these treats to help extend the shelf life but, it is optional. 

Cinnamon is fine to use in recipes for dogs, however do not use a pumpkin spice blend or anything that could contain nutmeg. It is toxic to dogs and even in small amounts can make them sick. 

Sweet Potato Treats: 

1/2 teaspoon of salt can be added to these treats to help extend the shelf life but, it is optional. 

For Apple Carrot Treats: 

If the dough is really sticky, add a few more tablespoons of flour. 

1/2 teaspoon of salt can be added to these treats to help extend the shelf life but, it is optional.
