Homemade Baked Dog Treats

Baking for dogs has never been simpler with Barktivity’s delicious doggie treats to make and share with your pup! Now you can prepare homemade dog treats without the hassle of searching for a recipe or making a trip to the store with a Barktivity box right to your door.

Benefits of Making Your Own Dog Treats

We all want the best for our pets, and baking for your dog is the best way to ensure the puppy treats he eats are good for him. Baking your own dog treats means that you know what you are feeding your pet since you get to assess what ingredients you are putting into treats and cater those ingredients to your dog’s own dietary needs or restrictions.

That means you save time having to double-check ingredient lists on packaged treats or trying to find a bakery that makes dog treats your dog can eat and that don’t cost a fortune.

But baking your own dog treats does more than save you time and money. It also gives you the chance to create memories with your family, especially with Barktivity’s kid-friendly dog treat baking kits. Baking serves as both a special activity to bring your family together for bonding time and an educational activity to promote learning for little ones.

Kids have the chance to learn about kitchen safety and pick up on baking skills. Plus, if you’re baking treats for your dog, you all get to learn about what ingredients are healthy options for your pet. Responsibility is another big lesson kids can learn in the kitchen as they take care of individual tasks like pouring ingredients or stirring the batter. Beyond that, baking for pets teaches kids the importance of being a responsible pet owner. There are also ample opportunities to teach your kids skills like patience, communication, and time management while baking a recipe together in the kitchen.

Altogether, it’s an experience that builds connection through teamwork and rewards your family’s effort with scrumptious and healthy results. Instead of another family movie night or expensive day trip, you and your little ones can spend quality time together baking for your dog and making tasty memories as you create something from scratch together.

The Barktivity Stadium Dog Treats Kit

Baketivity was already bringing together all ages for a mess-free, good time in the kitchen to take a break from the busy day-to-day and make memories together—now those memories get to be with your dogs too.

The first dog treats kit Barktivity released is the Barktivity Stadium Dog Treats Kit. Even if you’re brand new to baking kits or never tried a dog treat making kit before, you’ll have no problem making these quick and easy dog treats. These delicious Stadium Dog Treats are both dog-friendly and kid-friendly so kids can help bake and even eat the treats too.

One of the best things about Barktivity’s dog treat baking kits is that they come with all of the pre-measured dry ingredients you need to get started and simple step-by-step instructions so that it is easy for kids to follow along with you or even bake by themselves with parent supervision. Healthy ingredients like beet powder, coconut flour, and rice flour make this a safe and tasty treat for everyone. But the recipe booklet does include some tips on precautions when it comes to preparing dog-friendly food with certain ingredients and a recommendation to check with your veterinarian before feeding your dog anything you’re unsure about.

Each Barktivity dog treat making kit also comes with a companion booklet that shares different ways to have fun with your dog aside from baking up tasty treats. Inside the booklet for the Stadium Dog Treat Kit, you’ll find a fun hide-and-seek game to play with your dog along with tips for pet care for kids and a list of easy activities for kids to try with their dogs. This gives your child a chance to play with their dog in ways that benefit them both and learn how to respond to their pet’s needs. New skills and tricks will be learned by both kids and dogs through the fun activities they get to do together.

Every dog treat baking box also includes a collectible Barktivity dog pack card which features a different fictional dog. Kids can collect them all to earn a special prize. Kids get to learn about the playful personality of each made-up pup and learn interesting real-life facts about the specific breed of each dog.

The simplicity of these dog treat kits is why they are perfect for families with dogs and kids. They are easy, safe, and ready to enjoy by everyone.

How Many Treats Should You Give A Dog Per Day

Remember that dogs need to watch how much they eat, just like people. You don’t want to overfeed your pup, even if the treats you make are delicious enough that he won’t want to stop.

So you’ll want to be cautious of this when playing the included game in your Barktivity box or any activities where you use training treats.

To train your dog with treats without going overboard, keep the following tips in mind:

• Keep track of the number of treats you give to your dog throughout the day so that you can make sure you’re giving him a reasonable amount.
• Consider breaking up treats into smaller pieces so you can reward your dog multiple times without using multiple treats.
• Check how many calories are in a treat and keep treats under 10% of your dog’s daily calories.

Be sure you are only giving your dog treats and snacks that are good for him too. If you want to know for sure how many treats per day for a puppy or dog at home you should be dishing out, check with your veterinarian for your dog’s specific dietary needs or restrictions.

Storing Homemade Dog Treats

But what will you do with all the treats you made? Don’t worry, you can save your yummy dog treats for another day by storing them in an airtight container, a fridge, or a freezer. Any of these ways will make it easy to keep your homemade dog treats at the ready for future training time or treat time for your dog.

The shelf life of homemade dog treats varies based on which method you choose to store them. Depending on when you think you will want to break out the treats again, you’ll probably prefer one method over the other. When choosing how to store your dog treats, keep these timelines in mind:

• Treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days
• Treats can be stored in a fridge for up to 6 weeks
• Treats can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months
