2 Ingredient DIY Dog Treats

DIY

With the arrival of our loveable rescue pup, Abe - we have been obsessed with everything pet-related! To keep us busy during the torturous wait to meet him, we made our little Abe some yummy treats to welcome him to his forever home :) 

These are SO easy to make, and the best thing is you can choose the flavour and change it up depending on what your dog likes, or what you have on hand (just make sure there is no onion in the food). If you have a baby, chances are you wont even need to shop for the ingredients as you already have this stuff in your cupboard! 

You will need: 2 4oz jars of baby food (we chose organic sweet potato and turkey). 
                      1 cup wholegrain oats
                      1 cup wholemeal flour 

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350C, combine the ingredients together, adding more flour if necessary to make sure the dough is firm. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes. Bake for about 25 minutes, cool and reward your dog!

Simple DIY Pet Treat Mason Jars

craft

We had lots of fun making these gorgeous looking decorative jars to store our freshly made organic dog treats! They are so polished looking but so simple to make, your friends will be asking where you bought them!

 

To make the jars you will need: very strong all purpose glue (make sure the glue you choose is capable of adhering the materials you use), animal figurines like these little cuties we got from http://www.schleich-s.com/, mason jars in the sizes you would like, and some craft spray paint in the colour and finish you would like (you don't have to go with gold, these would look amazing in a neon colour)! 


Step 1: Glue the figurines to the jar lids. It is best to do this while the lid is attached, that way you will ensure the figurine is exactly where you want it to be when the lid is closed. We left our glue to dry for about 10 hours. 


Step 2: Spray the lids! Do this in a well- ventilated area, and make sure you use a protective face mask to prevent inhalation of the fumes. You may need to do this a couple of times to ensure even coverage. Leave to dry overnight.


Step 3: Assemble and enjoy! Fill your jars with anything you like, we are using them to store our pet treats. The options are endless though, so have fun with the figurines and colours you choose!
