Spring has officially sprung! As the days grow warmer and the nights get longer, it’s the perfect time to treat your Pomeranian to a delicious and healthy snack. Today, I’m excited to share a Pomeranian dog treat recipe along with some background on why I began making these homemade treats for my beloved Pomeranians.
The Joy of Homemade Pomeranian Treats
At the Pommy Mommy home, we absolutely love making homemade treats for our Pomeranians! My girls are always right by my side in the kitchen, eagerly waiting for a bite of whatever I’m cooking. I started creating homemade dog treats shortly after rescuing them, and it quickly turned into a fun hobby.
Why Make a Pomeranian Dog Treat Recipe?
My Pomeranians struggled with store-bought treats from dog boutiques because they were simply too big for their small mouths. Not to mention, my girls have very few teeth due to the neglect they suffered from their previous owners. After having teeth pulled, it became clear that they needed something smaller and easier to chew, which is why I decided to create my own Pomeranian dog treat recipe.
Combining My Passions: Baking, Cooking, and Pomeranians
That’s when I combined my love for baking, cooking, and Pomeranians. I started with a basic dog treat recipe and scaled it down to sizes that were perfect for my Pomeranians. I included their favorite ingredients, like chicken, and left out the things they didn’t like (thankfully, salmon didn’t make the cut—my house smelled for hours!).
Neighborhood Taste Testers
Over time, I refined my Pomeranian dog treat recipe, experimenting with different ingredients until it was perfect for my Pomeranians and all the neighborhood dogs. Word quickly spread, and soon local dog owners were bringing their pups over to be “taste testers,” and I was happy to oblige.
A Spring Pomeranian Dog Treat Recipe
As promised, here’s a fantastic Pomeranian dog treat recipe perfect for spring:
Ingredients:
- 1 Egg
- 1 Cup Oat Flour
- 1 Cup Brown Rice Flour
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Cup Oat Bran
- 4 TBS Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 Cup Hulled Unsalted Sunflower Seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Mix all ingredients together until the dough forms.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4″ thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into small, bite-sized treats.
- Place the treats on an ungreased cookie sheet. They won’t spread like cookies, so you can place them close together.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then let the treats cool completely on a wire rack in the oven. This helps make them crunchy and firm.
- Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
