Using Dry Food:
  • In a blender, add 2 cups of dry food and grind into a powder.
  • Pour powder into a mixing bowl and gradually add about 1 to 1¼ cups of water, stirring until it forms a dough consistency.
  • Shape into individual "treats" or "cookies" and flatten the dough using the back of a spoon (the cookies will not flatten like standard "people cookies" do.)
  • Place treats on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until crispy.
  • Store baked treats in the refrigerator and discard leftovers after 5-7 days.
  • Homemade treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's total daily intake because heat alters the nutritional characteristics of the food.
  • Do not freeze homemade treats.

The best part is you can use your pet's regular kibble to create these yummy snacks! 

Please note:
Only Prescription Diet® a/d® Canine/Feline food, Prescription Diet® n/d® Canine and Prescription Diet® s/d® Canine foods cannot be made into homemade treats using the above recipe.

Preparing for Fireworks and storms is crucial for your pet, act now don't delay!

Image
Festive season is approaching, and with it, the most stressful time of year for all pet owners. No, I’m not talking about the dreaded visit from the in laws, I’m talking about firework season. Add to that the summer storms that rattle the window frames, and it can be a very unpleasant time to be an unsuspecting animal. For those pets with known noise phobias, you may already have a plan in place for dealing with these events, but for first time pet owners or owners of new pets, it is easy to be caught unawares. If you are unsure about how your pet will react, it is better to be prepared. So, how do you know your pet is anxious? There are some obvious signs, like hiding away, urinating where they stand, whimpering, and shaking. There are also more subtle signs like tail tucking, flattening ears back, and salivating.  Your pet may display some or all of these signs, or other vague behavioural changes. If you are unsure, please speak to your vet. If you know that a big storm or a fi...

Cancer and your pet ... what you need to know!

Image
Introduction: Let’s talk about the “C”-word…Cancer. Not an easy subject to broach, and equally difficult to talk about. Let’s be honest, most of us would be horrified to hear that our pet has received this diagnosis.  Most people will have some sort of experience with cancer, whether personally, or through a friend or family member. This experience likely leaves us with a very specific and subjective impression of what a diagnosis of cancer means, and also the effects of the treatment process and its financial, emotional and physical cost. This said, I would like to try to give some facts about this disease, and to offer some helpful information regarding its diagnosis and treatment in our pets. Prevalence of cancer in pets: It has been my experience over the years that cancers of various kinds are increasing in prevalence in the pet population. In fact, it may be that almost 50% of dogs over the age of 10 years could develop some form of cancer, thus constituting a major cause of ...
