I wanted to make paw print impression keepsakes of my “new” old dog. But the only kits that I could find were surprisingly pricey (or had poor reviews) and came with display frames that I didn’t want. So I decided to save some money and make my own. These are fun and easy to make and they’re great as a kids’ craft project. You could make childrens’ hand prints too. How-to instructions are provided below.
This is Cooking with Alison’s 300th post! I am dedicating it to my dog, the old man Blue. You’re the love of my life. May you be with us for the 400th, 500th, 600th… posts too.
Wheat and corn are common fillers used in most commercial dog food and treats. Not only do dogs have difficulty digesting gluten and corn, these ingredients have been linked to various allergies and health problems. Luckily, it is incredibly easy and cost-effective to make your own healthy, human-grade treats. All of the following treat recipes are gluten free, corn free and soy free, and can be conveniently stored in the freezer. Please share your homemade dog treat recipes by posting a comment! Please note that if your dog has, or is predisposed to, any health concerns, you should consult a veterinarian before trying anything new.
