Minty Fresh Dog Treats

Dog treats alone will not ensure good dental health.
 
If your dog still has bad breath (despite regular and preventative dental care/check-ups), this Minty Fresh Dog Treat recipe might help!
 

Coconut Oil Minty Fresh Treats
1 cup brown rice flour
2 tablespoons peanut butter (xylitol-free)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
 
Preheat oven to 375˚ F. Combine all ingredients.
 
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to approximately one-half-inch thickness. Cut into shapes with a knife, small shot glass or your favorite cookie cutter.
 
Place on cookie sheets and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown.

Four Reasons You Shouldn't Let Your Dog Lick Your Face
and Two Reasons You Should

Source: For Dog Lovers by Cecily Sailer​

You’ve just come home after a long day at the office to find that special lady who’s always happy to see you, and she’s practically jumping out of her skin with excitement because you’re home. Her tail’s wagging, her body’s wiggling, and her tongue’s flapping. This is love! And with love comes a slurp on the face. 

If it looks, feels, and smells like love, a dog kiss has gotta be a good thing, right? Well, let’s keep in mind that dogs lead very different lifestyles. They don’t brush their teeth or see a dentist. They’ve never touched mouthwash or enjoyed a breath mint. But despite having a different approach to hygiene, your dog’s smooched your face hundreds of times. Can there really be any harm in it? 

Though nearly everyone survives a dog kiss, there are a few health issues you might consider the next time your dog comes at you tongue blazing. 

The Best Alternatives to the Classic ‘Cone of Shame’ for Dogs 

If your dog had surgery or suffers from hot spots, you may be frustrated with the plain old Elizabethan collar from your local vet. The cone of shame certainly gets the job done, but sleeping, eating, drinking, and generally being a dog can be tough while wearing a giant white lampshade. Luckily, we’ve rounded up some great options that work just as well.
