Home-Made Treats That You can Give to Your Malshi

Malshis adore snacks, but running to the store or shelling out for pricey, high-quality treats isn’t always ideal. The good news? You can whip up delicious, dog-safe treats in your kitchen with ease. Here are a few simple recipes to delight your furry friend.

Peanut Butter Biscuits

Start with a classic. Gather 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°F. 

Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl until the dough comes together. Roll the mixture onto a floured surface and slice into small circles. Lay the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until they turn golden.

Sweet Potato Chews

For a chewy treat, grab a sweet potato and preheat your oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the sweet potato into thin rounds, about a quarter-inch thick. 

Arrange the slices on the parchment and bake for two hours. Flip each piece and bake for another two hours until dry and crisp.

Turkey Jerky Bites

For a savoury option, try turkey jerky. Preheat your oven to 250°F and slice fresh turkey breast into thin strips about half an inch thick. Spread the strips on an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

Bake for four hours, flipping the pieces each hour to ensure even crisping. Once cooled, store the jerky in a sealed bag or serve immediately.

Carrot Chips

Veggie lovers will appreciate these crunchy carrot chips. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Scrub two large carrots, pat them dry, and slice them into thin rounds using a mandolin slicer or sharp knife. 

Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until crisp. Once cooled, serve these fibre-rich snacks to your pup.

Peanut Butter Banana Treats

For a special delight, mash one ripe banana in a mixing bowl. Stir in two tablespoons of natural peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, and half a cup of oats (optional). Mix thoroughly, then drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until the treats turn golden.

These recipes offer an easy way to spoil your Malshi with safe, homemade snacks. Feel free to experiment with other dog-safe ingredients, and watch your pup savour every bite!
