It’s National Dog Biscuit Day!
Did you know that today, February 23rd is National Dog Biscuit Day!
What better way to celebrate then to either bake your canine scrumptious biscuits or purchase healthy ones! As a Chewy Influencer Ginger has tried many biscuits, therefore, making her a dog biscuit tasting professional. Below are her top two flavored biscuits. If you scroll down you will also find links to tasty biscuits that you can bake for your furry friend!
#1 is Canidae’s Life Stages Bakery Snacks with Turkey, Quinoa & Butternut Squash.
These treats are oven-baked for a crunchy texture that is easy to snap and helps clean teeth. They are made with just 7 nutritious main ingredients and are made in the USA by the family owned company known as Canidae. The ingredients are as follows: Ingredients: Brown Rice, Pea Flour, Turkey, Quinoa, Butternut Squash, Chicken Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid), Natural Flavor. The dogs really loved these treats and I especially like them because there have minimal ingredients and are made in the USA.
#2 is Blue Buffalo Halloween BOO Bars.
These biscuit bars are oven-baked with added vitamins & minerals. The bars do not contain corn, wheat, or soy, and no by-product meals. The ingredients are as follows: Oatmeal, Barley, Oat Flour, Pumpkin, Flaxseed (source of Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids), Cane Molasses, Carrots, Salt, Canola Oil (source of Omega 6 Fatty Acids), Cinnamon, Calcium Carbonate, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Oil of Rosemary, Vitamin E Supplement. Ginger and her pals annihilated these biscuits and although they were Halloween themed, they didn’t make it to Halloween.
Of course, store brought biscuits are good and one should always look at the ingredients, but nothing beats homemade so below are two recipes from All Recipes and I have included the links.
Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Biscuits
1 egg
1/3 cup peanut butter (regular/not sugar free)
1/2 cup mashed banana
1 tablespoon honey

Stir together the egg, peanut butter, banana, and honey in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Stir in the flour and wheat germ; mix well. Turn dough out onto a floured board and roll to 1/4 inch thick.
Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter, place on prepared baking sheet, and brush tops with egg white.
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees. Place biscuits on a lightly grease a baking sheet. Bake biscuits in preheated oven until dried and golden brown, about 30 minutes, depending on size.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water

10 tablespoons bacon fat, melted
