Tasty Tail-Waggers: Moose's Favorite Chicken Apple Sausage Dog Treats

Hello, Samantha here! If you’re like me, always on the hunt for new and exciting treats to keep your furry friend happy, you’ll love what I have to share today. Let’s dive into the world of chicken apple sausage dog treats—a recipe that has brought countless wagging tails and eager eyes from my Golden Retriever, Moose.

Why Chicken Apple Sausage Dog Treats?

Our journey with chicken apple sausage dog treats began when I was looking for a healthier treat option that could combine protein with a hint of sweetness, without all the added preservatives found in many commercial treats. These treats hit all the marks, offering a delicious blend of flavors that Moose goes crazy for.

Moose’s First Taste

The first time Moose tried these homemade chicken apple sausage treats was during a fall season training session. The crisp air seemed perfect for introducing a treat that was both savory and sweet. As soon as he got a whiff of them, his focus was unmatched—learning new tricks with the promise of another treat as a reward.

Homemade Chicken Apple Sausage Dog Treats Recipe

Here’s a simple recipe to whip up these delightful treats that Moose loves:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple (make sure to remove the core and seeds)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or a grain-free alternative if your dog is sensitive)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh parsley (optional, for fresh breath)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced apple, whole wheat flour, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the treats: Take small spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls or small sausage shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Put the treats in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.
  5. Cool down: Let the treats cool completely before giving them to your dog.

Adjusting to Moose’s Changing Preferences

As Moose has aged, his dietary preferences and needs have changed somewhat, prompting me to tweak this recipe now and then. I’ve adjusted the size of the treats to make them easier to chew and occasionally substituted apple with other fruits like pear for a different taste.

Conclusion

Chicken apple sausage dog treats are not just a tasty snack but a healthier alternative to many store-bought options, packed with natural ingredients. They are perfect for keeping your dog’s attention during training sessions or just as a special reward.

Remember, the best chicken apple sausage dog treats are those that are made with love, keeping your dog’s dietary needs in mind. Whether you’re a seasoned dog treat chef or a first-timer, this recipe is sure to make your pup’s day a little brighter!
