Vegetarian dog treat recipes?
by admin on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 | 27 Comments
i’m looking for any dog treat recipes without eggs or meat. if the recipe included zucchini or tomato or any other vegetable it would be fabulous. thanks!!
ok, im totally cool with the whole meat eating thing, since i love a good steak myself. i have a farm and my dogs are always eating my zucchini, tomatoes, and avacado, so i thought they might enjoy a treat with those ingredients. any suggestions?
Dogs can technically live on an omnivorous diet, but any dog that lives wild, whether it is a feral dog or the dog’s cousin, the wolf, will eat meat, fat and bones every chance it gets. A wild dog’s diet is comprised of muscle and organ meats, bones, fat, and they will possibly ingest some fibrous vegetable matter if they eat any stomach or intestine contents, which they usually avoid. Aside from munching grass to help them throw up, dogs do NOT eat vegetables, grains or fruits – and most importantly, their digestive system is an extrememly harsh, short one, which breaks down meat, bone and fat beautifully but doesn’t break down those fibrous vegetables and grains.
If you want to give your dog the best diet possible, either feed him raw muscle and organ meats with raw bones, or at least get him a dry food that is meat-based (check out Eagle Pack, Blue Buffalo, Diamond, Innova, or any of the other great natural and organic foods out there) and supplement this dry food diet with raw bones and fresh (or cooked, if you must) meat and eggs. A healthy dog will have no "doggy" breath, very minimal fecal matter (because his body is using what he’s eating), healthy skin, a shiny coat and eyes, and will not come down with diet-related diseases down the road. Food truly is the best medicine, and is far easier on your wallet than expensive medicines, tonics and surgeries that you’ll buy from your vet to fix the problem after it’s too far gone.

Needless to say, I don’t recommend giving carnivores plants and grains, but if you wanted to add sweet potatoes, fruits and tomatoes to treats, that should be okay as long as the treats don’t make up a significant part of the dog’s diet.
Best of luck to you and your dog!
UPDATE: Here is a basic recipe you can use and spruce it up by adding various ingredients.
Dog Biscuit Treats
INGREDIENTS –
1 C hot chicken broth
1/2 C milk
1/3 C butter
1 egg, beaten
2 – 3 C whole wheat flour
1 C rolled oats (such as Quaker)
3/4 C cornmeal
1 C shredded mozzarella / parmesan
1/4 C peeled/diced/seeded tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
In a blender, combine chicken broth, butter, and tomato and blend or chop at low speed.
In a large bowl, combine chicken mix, milk and egg and mix well, then slowly add the oats, cornmeal, and cheese, and mix well again. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough.
On floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2 inch thickness, cut with bone shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes, then up heat to 400 for 10 minutes or until a medium golden brown. Cool completely and store in a tightly covered tin. Makes 3 1/2 dozen large dog biscuits or 8 dozen small dog biscuits.
Hope this works for you! : )
dogs are not typically vegetarian. they are meat eaters that occasionally ingest plant matter.
Dogs are CARNIVORES! If fed too much Plant material they are unhealthy.
If you are vegan and can’t stand the thought of any animal eating meat you need to get a rabbit.
My dogs love a bit of carrot or apple as a treat. You can use this while training them. Just one thing to point out is that too much of it in their system means that it will pass through undigested so isn’t such a great idea to give too often. Can cause diarrreah – just give sparingly.
