Like most pet owners, our pups are our babies, and saying they are spoiled is an understatement. Spending the last year and half as a housewife has allowed me to try lots of new things...recipes, crafts, DIY, etc. So the dogs have really enjoyed all my treat experiments!
Our only real complaint about the pups is the occasional bad breath! I took it upon myself to create a healthy treat that would leave their breath minty fresh. Furthermore, we watch what we put into our own bodies, we should do the same for our pets. And all these stories about what's really in dog treats has got me freaked out....enter the Paleo Mint Dog Treat!
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 Cup Water
2-2 1/2 Cups Almond Meal/Flour
1/3 Cup Chopped Parsley
2 Tablespoons Fresh Mint
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix water and oil. Slowly add in flour (tip: add a little flour at a time, you don't want the batter too wet or too dry, a nice dough consistency) Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix very well. Roll out dough about 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter, or cut into strips. Bake for 35 minutes, let cool, let Fido enjoy!
Yields:
This is obviously dependent on thickness and size of the cutter. The one I used is about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inches and I made 34!
FYIs:
These treats can be frozen and will last about 1 month unfrozen. Mint not only freshens breath, but can also soothe the stomach. Parsley also soothes the stomach and can help with joint or arthritic pain.
Enjoy this recipe! I hope all your dogs get to try this one!

This is interesting, but shouldn't it have some kind of meat in it? I am looking for an awesome paleo dog treat recipe
ReplyDeleteIt's very difficult to include meat in a non-perishable way. If you look at the ingredients in the big name brands some of them may have meat by-products. I will experiment with some meats and see if I can find something that would be healthy. But this is a great, healthy, Paleo treat, and much better than the store bought. Thanks for your input!
