Soothing Snacks: Making CBD Oil Dog Treats for Your Furry Friends
Hello, fellow pet enthusiasts! It's Angela here, sharing another slice of life with my adventurous Beagle, Copper. Today, we're diving into a recipe that's close to my heart—homemade CBD oil dog treats. These treats are not just a hit with Copper, but they also offer the calming benefits of CBD, perfect for pets that might need a little extra comfort during stressful times.
Why CBD Oil for Dogs?
CBD oil has been a game changer in the pet care world, known for its potential to ease anxiety, reduce pain, and promote overall wellness. Copper, who occasionally gets jittery with loud noises and big crowds, has found a lot of comfort in these treats, especially before our park visits during busy weekends.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 2 cups of oat flour - Gentle on canine stomachs and full of fiber.
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce - For a touch of sweetness without added sugar.
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter - Ensure it’s xylitol-free for pet safety.
- 4-6 drops of CBD oil - Tailored to your dog's size and needs.
Step-by-Step Recipe:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, applesauce, and peanut butter. Once mixed, carefully stir in the CBD oil, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Shape the Treats: Roll the dough into small balls or use fun cookie cutters to create shapes that will entice your dog.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are firm and golden brown.
- Cool Down: Let the treats cool completely before giving them to your furry friend.
Keeping Your Dog Engaged with Variety
Just like us, dogs enjoy a little variety in their diet. While Copper loves his CBD oil treats, I make sure to rotate between different flavors and types of treats to keep him excited and engaged. This not only stimulates his taste buds but also provides a range of nutritional benefits.
Conclusion
Making your own dog treats, like this CBD oil dog treats recipe, is a rewarding way to cater to your dog’s tastes and needs. Copper and I have had a lot of fun baking these together, and it's comforting to know exactly what’s going into his snacks.
Remember, when introducing any new treat or supplement to your dog’s diet, it's important to consult with your vet—especially when it involves something like CBD oil.
Happy treating!
