Rod’s Pawz: Make Your Own Organic Dog Treats

We mentioned awhile ago that our favorite (or, Duke’s favorite) dog treats were Old Mother Hubbard’s peanut butter biscuits. After reading about Rod’s Pawz in the recent issue of Yankee Magazine we decided to try something we hadn’t before – making our own dog treats. Through the Rod’s Pawz website, we ordered the organic dry ingredients that came in a burlap bag with a cute bone-shaped cookie cutter and making them was easier than we thought! Nini Casey, owner of Rod’s Pawz, says her dog Rod’s unconditional love was the inspiration for her company. In addition to the “Make Your Own,” Nini sells bags of already-made treats, made with all organic ingredients, and bakes about 200 pounds of them per week! Although she says the most popular is the peanut butter, she also recommends the vegetarian because of their garlic (apparently it deters fleas, who knew?). Bags of treats range from $4 to $9.25 and the “Make Your Own” are $15. Thanks for the photo, Duke! Via ::Yankee Magazine ::Rod’s Pawz

Great blog. I really liked it. I have also created a lens in same niche. This is my first time, hope u guys like it. Here’s a brief intro: Most Dog owners are conscious of feeding their Dog healthy pet foods. However when it comes to treats, sometimes they forget about the healthy aspects. Treat your Dog with Healthy Dog Treats as well. Most Dog Treat don't have all natural ingredients and are not 100% healthy for your pets. There are some dog treats such as Bully Sticks that are 100% all natural. And since they contain no chemicals or preservatives, your dog is assured of receiving a "clean" and healthy pet treat. Besides being totally safe for your dog, they are also fully digestible and a great source of protein. http://www.squidoo.com/dog-treats/
This is a great idea, but please do not feed your dogs treats with garlic in them! This lady making the treats really should research things like this. Garlic contains an ingredient toxic to dogs called thiosulphate. Read more: http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?specie=dogs&story_no=257#ct-4
