Well, they can, but the question is should they? We know a grape is deadly for your dog, as is its dried version, the raisin, but what about grapefruit and other citrus fruits?
Can Dogs Eat Oranges and Grapefruit?
Cheesy Tuna Treats – Healthy Dog Treats
This is a new and exciting recipe, if I can judge by my dog’s enthusiasm when he ate it.! In fact, I actually tasted it myself because I thought it must be really tasty, and it tasted a little like bread flavored with tuna; I couldn’t really taste the cheese. If you want to add more cheese for your dog, you might throw in a little more Parmesan or even melt American or cheddar on top; whatever your dog likes. My dog has a sensitive stomach, so I try not to overdo the richness of his food. I don’t ever want to see pancreatitis in my house again!
This takes a little more time than the apple carrot frozen treats, but it’s pretty simple. You’ll probably need to double the recipe if your dog is bigger than mine (9 pounds and a few ounces) or if you want more or bigger treats. With this recipe I ended up with 45 treats, approximately 1” x 1” x ½.”
Yummy Hot Weather Dog Treats
Well, they aren’t exactly pops, and your dog couldn’t handle the popsicle stick anyway, but for a dog they are perfect!
As you probably already know, except for the apple seeds (which contain cyanide), the core (a choking hazard) and the stems and leaves (which MIGHT contain cyanide), apples are extremely healthy and delicious for dogs, just as they are for humans. My little Yorkie Mason dearly loves apples. When I start to core and slice one for myself, he begins his little four-foot straight up in the air jump that I thought only cats could do! The difference is cats do it when startled (maybe from encountering a sinister cucumber), and Mason does it when he’s super excited (when it’s time for a walk or I’m preparing food he wants to share.)
Flavia De Luce
Mason and I get so excited when a new Flavia De Luce novel comes out! Actually, Mason just lets me read it as long as I periodically throw his favorite ball for him to retrieve. This is inside, not outside the house; I just have to tear my attention away from Flavia long enough to avoid lamps or other breakable objects with the ball .
Yummy Hot Weather Dog Snack Recipe
Mason and I had a wonderful idea, and it worked out! He’s happy because it tastes wonderful, and I’m happy because it’s super healthy! It’s also only three ingredients, with no cooking and no fuss. If you want a healthy, delicious, easy to prepare snack, check this out!
Dog Diets; What Do They Really Need?
When Mason got pancreatitis, Dr. Potosky and I had quite a long talk about dog food and the merits of different kinds. I was accustomed to feeding Mason half fresh, low fat ground beef and half dog food in the morning and half chicken, half dog food in the evening. I was feeding him Hill’s Science Diet’s Chicken Meal and Rice Recipe dog food, and his favorite, Hill’s Science Diet’s Liver Meal and Rice Recipe. I had bought some of the Blue Buffalo Fish and Brown Rice Recipe, which Mason loved at his cousins’ (my sister’s dogs’) house, but was less enthusiastic when I bought him some. (Isn’t that exactly the way children are?).
Pancreatitis and your pooch
A few weeks ago, my baby boy Mason became ill. He wouldn’t eat, and he had lots of nausea, some vomiting, and diarrhea. That same morning I had learned that a neighbor’s dog had contracted Parvo, the deadly disease every dog owner fears; and I learned that some of the symptoms were the same as what my dog had. Now Mason had had all of his shots; I have been known to be cheap, but I would never keep my dog from having all needed shots and medications, along with Heartworm medicine and flea and tick medicine. If you’re thinking of saving money by skipping those for your pet, be aware that you may be taking her life into your hands. Dogs need necessary preventative measures just like people do! I had heard that if a dog with Parvo has contact with your dog, even vaccines may not prevent your dog from catching it! But you know how those rumors are: some sort of true, and others, not even close!
