Homemade Thanksgiving Turkey Loaf Treat for Dogs

by on ‎11-19-2014 12:48 PM

During Thanksgiving, it can be so tempting to give your fur babies a taste of the big meal!



But the fat, grease, and herbs are trouble for our furry friends. Instead, here's a special treat for your canine friends that they'll ''gobble'' up! It's yummy and healthy for them, and best of all, you can make it yourself! Of course, if you know your dog has a sensitive tummy, or has any dietary restrictions, ALWAYS check with your vet to see if they can dig into this treat. Some vets recommend not giving your dogs turkey, and you could substitute chicken. 


Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 cup cooked rice (brown or whole grain is best)
4 oz peas


1-1/2 carrots, diced
1/2 apple, diced




Directions:


Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well (using a hand blender or by hand).




On a baking sheet, form the mixture into the shape of a large dog bone. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Let cool and serve.



 


It's so fun to make this, and really makes you feel like your including the pups in the big day! Be sure to check out my toGather collections for Pet Lovers, and please share pictures of YOUR animals on my Facebook page anytime! Happy Gobble Day to you and all your fur babies!!
