We all know that our beloved Malshis love treats, but what if you don’t feel like running to the store to buy them? Malshi food can also be expensive, and high-quality treats can have eye-watering prices. Don’t worry – you can make some tasty treats right in your own kitchen. Here are a few home-made treats that you can give to your furry family members.
First up is a classic: peanut butter biscuits! All you need is one cup of whole wheat flour, a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, two tablespoons of natural peanut butter, and half a cup of water. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees before mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Once everything is blended together nicely, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut it into small circles. Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Another easy homemade treat is sweet potato chews. Start by preheating your oven to 225 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut one sweet potato into thin slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and place them on the parchment paper. Bake for 2 hours before flipping each slice over and baking for another 2 hours until they’re completely dry and crispy.
If you’re looking for something savoury, try these turkey jerky bites! Start by preheating your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit; then cut up fresh turkey breast into thin strips (about 1/2 inch thick). Place the strips onto an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 4 hours or until crispy, flipping every hour or so if necessary. Once they’re cool, you can seal them in a ziplock bag for later or give them directly to your Malshi.
Don’t forget about veggies either—your pup will love these carrot chips! Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit; then wash two large carrots and pat dry before slicing them into thin rounds with a mandolin slicer (or use a sharp knife). Place the slices onto an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy and let cool before serving. These are pretty high in fibre so they’re also good for your dog’s stomach.
Finally, if you want something super special for your Malshi, try these peanut butter banana treats! Start by mashing one ripe banana in a bowl; then add in two tablespoons of natural peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, and half a cup of oats (optional). Mix everything together until well combined; then drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
These are just some ideas for home-made treats that you can give to your pup. Feel free to get creative and come up with other recipes too, just make sure whatever ingredients you choose are safe for dogs.
