Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you. After-all, your furry companions deserve healthy food, so that they can be their best selves. These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes. So, I use three different cookie cutters when I make these dog treats. Plus, using different cookie cutter sizes also allows me to make good use of the leftover dough pieces.

Instead of her using them to lay on, she wads them up, and literally kicks them to the corner of her kennel. Since Princess (my dog) isn't getting any younger, she really doesn't need to be lying on the hard floor of the kennel. So, I came up with this DIY kennel bed idea for her.

Maine Coon cats are known for their large size, friendly personalities, and beautiful coats. They are one of the largest domesticated cat breeds, with some males weighing up to 18 pounds or more! Despite their size, Maine Coons are gentle and affectionate, making them great companions for families. Origins of the Maine Coon Breed Legend has it that Maine Coon cats are descendants of Marie Antoinette's beloved pets, who were sent to America during the French Revolution. While this story may be more fiction than fact, Maine Coons are indeed native to the state of Maine and are well-adapted to cold climates. Caring for a Maine Coon Cat Due to their long, thick fur, Maine Coons require regular grooming to prevent matting and tangles. They are also prone to obesity, so it's important to feed them a balanced diet and provide plenty of opportunities...
