Get The Facts On Homemade Dog Treats

When it comes to feeding their dog, most pet owners are not aware of what their pets are ingesting. Most of the commercially produced pet foods and pet treats are full of harmful preservatives and by-products that can cause serious health problems for your pet. Phosphoric Acid, Butylated Hydroxysanisole, Ethoxyquin, Sorbitol or Propylene Glycol; which is used in antifreeze, are just some of the harmful products found in many mass produced pet foods. The truth of the matter is that there have been over 5,000 pet food scares since 2006. This includes but is not limited to all of the pet foods and pet treats that were recalled. Many of these by-products have been linked to cancer, obesity, heart attack, kidney disease and death. In fact, there were over 3,600 pet deaths linked to tainted pet foods.

The best way to ensure that that your pet is consuming safe and healthy dog food and dog treats is by feeding them homemade dog treats. Homemade dog treats have become increasingly popular amongst concerned pet owners and they have taken the pet industry by storm. Homemade dog food and homemade dog treats are an excellent alternative to mass produced pet products, however most owners are not aware of the nutritional needs of their dogs. It’s not uncommon for many homemade diets to be lacking the key nutrients a dog needs to maintain optimal health. Some believe, that homemade dog diets are way to time consuming and a bit expensive.

Before you start feeding your pet a homemade diet you need to have the answers to the following questions.

  • What does my dog need for his food? What doesn’t he need?
  • How much should my new puppy eat?
  • Are there specific vitamins and minerals that my puppy needs?
  • How much food should an adult dog consume?
  • Are there “breed specific” dog foods?
  • Is my puppy or dog  overweight? Underweight?
  • Is my dog food safe?
  • Are there certain foods that my dog needs?
  • What foods can be harmful to my dog?

Giving Your Homemade Dog Biscuits a Creative Name

Having owned a Gourmet Dog Bakery for the past several years, I have a lot of experience with coming up with catchy names for homemade dog treats. All of the dog treats that we sell at The Beggin’ Beagle Bakery have been given a  unique name to make them stand out from our competition. We have found that giving naming our everyday dog biscuits “Beggin Beagle Biscuits” makes them more appealing to our customers, especially beagle owners.

The name of the bakery was created using some of the helpful tips that I will be sharing with you today. If you are thinking about starting your own dog bakery business this article will be very helpful. You’ll definitely be able to use these tips when trying to come up with names for your own homemade dog treats.

One of the first things that I do when I am thinking about a name for my homemade dog treats is make a list of all of the ingredients that are in the dog treats. I tend to focus on the main ingredient that is used in the dog recipe. For example, when I created the Beggin’ Beagle’s “Cheesy Chihuahua Chews”,  I knew that I wanted the name of these dog treats to have cheese in it because cheese was the main ingredient. Cheese flavored dog biscuits are one of the most popular dog treats on the market today so I wanted ours to stand out. rather than just calling them cheese dog biscuits I decided to calling them “Cheesy Chihuahua Chews.” You can’t image how excited so many Chihuahua lovers were when they found these all natural dog treats!

The next thing I take into consideration when coming up with a name for our homemade dog treats is the actual shape of the dog treats. One of the most popular shapes of dog biscuits is the traditional dog bone. We certainly have these popular style treats at The Beggin’ Beagle Bakery, but we also like to have other interesting shapes specific to each type of treat. For example, our Cheesy Chihuahua Chews are actually made in the shape of a Chihuahua. They are made using a little more baking soda which gives them a chewy texture.

Texture is another feature that will help you when naming your homemade dog treats. Another one of our popular dog treats at the bakery are our “Crunchy Beagle Bites.” These dog biscuits are bit harder than the Cheesy Chihuahua Chews and they w ill certainly make a crunch when your dog bites into them!

As you can see, there are many ways to help you decide on the best name for your homemade dog treats. Get a look at some more of our creations at The Beggin’ Beagle Bakery.
