I introduced our sweet dog awhile back. She really is the greatest dog ever. Does every dog owner say that?? But we really think so! I still find it hard to believe that she was abandoned (and worse shot! click here for the story) because she’s the sweetest most loving dog ever and she just absolutely adores people and other dogs for that matter.
I enjoy making her dog treats. She LOVES them. Store bought treats don’t stand a chance against homemade ones. She’ll do anything for a taste of these things! Definitely give them a try for your special pooch!
And now for the fun part… For all you dog lovers out there (and kitty lovers). I’ve got a giveaway! I recently purchased two fabulous collars from Lucky Fiona on Etsy. She sells handmade retro inspired custom dog and cat collars. I LOVE our new collars (We have the ChocoBloom and The Style Tile, pictured below)! And so that brings us to the giveaway, one lucky winner will get a Gift Certificate for the Lucky Fiona store for a custom collar of any style in her shop shipping included (a $20.98 value)! Definitely check them out! You can also pop over to her blog for some great pictures of pups and kitties wearing Lucky Fiona collars!
This contest is only open to those in the continental US at this time (sorry to those of you who are international!). To enter, leave a comment on this post (be sure to include an email address so we can contact you!) Giveaway ends Saturday June 27, 2009 11:59 CST. Check back on Monday June 29th for the winner!

Chicken & Cheddar Dog Treats
1 1/3 c wheat flour
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 c + 1 Tbsp low sodium chicken broth*
1/4 c vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Mix until ingredients combined. Add additional Tablespoons of broth if dough is too dry. Flour work surface. Roll dough to 1/2″ thickness. Cut into desired shape (I used 1-1.5″ hearts).
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (depending upon size). You want them firm but still a little chewy when you take them out of the oven. Cool and store in airtight container.
* Note: You want to use homemade chicken broth or a store bought variety that does not include onion to be safe. It can be toxic to dogs. Garlic can also be toxic however larger quantities are required to be toxic.

Love her collars! What a great giveaway!
I am going to have to try this recipe for my puppy. The collars are also very cute!!
I can’t wait to try these for our precious furbabies! I love how simple they look to make. My mom usually makes homemade cookies for our dogs in the shapes of cats and mailmen (she uses a Santa carrying a sack cutter). Her recipe is too complicates, so I’m looking forward to this simpler recipe. Thank you!!
Great giveaway! Cute collars!
I’ve been wanting to do some homemade dog treats it’s a 101 in 1001 goal of mine, I will be using this one! Looks good for our furbabies!

Unfortunately for my wonderful dogs I am super anal about what they eat. So no treats for then. But this recipe looks fun for sure! I’ve got a picture of my baby in the header of my blog. love the beasts!
aw….yeah when the doggies go nuts for homemade treats it really makes me wonder what exactly is in the store-bought ones! Must be processed sawdust or something un-tasty like that hahha macy is so cute.

These collars are cute! I’m excited to try to dog treats too!
I’ve been drooling over those collars for a year now, but since we’ve gone through several collars since our girl was a pup, DH put a “no more collars” (unless they’re free!) rule on me. I LOVE those collars!!! And I LOVE the recipe-I’ll have to make those for our Cal!
These look awesome! And perfect timing since we have a puppy birthday to celebrate this week!
I want a collar they are so cute!!
Lucky Fiona’s collars are wonderful!! My dogs each have one so far, and I’ve given them as gifts. The recipe looks yummy too. Thanks!
My kids also love homemade cookies. Peanut butter and oat ones are their favs.
Great blog, I hope to see more pup treats!
I have a boy dog and find it hard to find cute collars that aren’t too girly. I love The Poindexter! And also The Ted! I like the Church Window’s print but my dog is black and I’m afraid it might clash with him.
Our pups celebrate their 4th birthday this week – this recipe is just in time for me to make them a special treat. Thanks for posting it, and LOVE the collars. Great designs! Adorable!
Cute!! Both your dog (wow, she’s growing up fast! I remember when you first posted pics of her!) and that collar is so cute!
These dog treats would be a great Christmas or Birthday gift for my parents dog next year! (yes, sometimes I get presents for my dog!) And I’d love to have a stylish collar for my kitty
Those treats look easy! We’ll have to try them! paislie98 at hotmail dot com
Awww, makes me wish I had a dog – but it’s not in the cards for us just yet. My kitty would look cute in a new collar though!
She is beautiful. I love love looovvvveee boxers. I don’t even have a dog so the only reason I ended up stopping here is because her picture was on this post, she really is gorgeous.
I want one!
Love the collars AND the treats!!

The treats look awesome for my pug and chi which were both rescued. My ug is a former puppymill breeder that’s been shuffled around and my chi was set to be put to seep until the pesties got involved. Plus, those collars are so cool. cubbyvet at aol dot com

I just got my first puppy on Saturday! She’s also a rescue puppy and had a rough first few weeks of life. She’s 9 weeks old and full of energy! I’ll have to make some treats for her when she gets a little older!
I can’t wait to try those treats for Paisley! But I’m thinking I’m going to do a mini version.
I’ve got to get her one of those FABULOUSLY PRECIOUS collars as well!!
My dogs would love these treats!!! You doggy is adorable btw!
My pups would love some new collars (or at least one!)… but I think they’d go for the treats first if they had a choice
Dog Treats From Your Kitchen. Store bought doggie biscuits are OK, but nothing beats homemade goodies.
Hi Macy,
This is Ace and Ali – our mom knows your mom from the Nest. We keep begging our mom to make those tasty treats that your mom makes. We keep seeing those tasty pictures when Mom is on that box thingy. Mom says that if we are good and quiet one day, she may make them for us. We would sure love to play with you if you are ever in this neck of the woods!
We are so glad that you are recovering and have found a forever home! Mom said you got a new collar too! Wow, that would be great for us – ours is about 3 years old and even though we are a boy and girl people still ask if we are boys or girls. Silly people!
Well, Mom says we have to go and play outside now so we will talk with you later!
