Making your own dog treats! It sounds silly, but often I will spend about $25 a month on my 9lb Maltese... He loves any "Hoomin" food. Especially anything that's bad for him! We are very very strict with what we feed him, he is our only fur child so we do tend to spoil him. But sadly, this pup needs to cut back.
Peanut Butter Puppy Poppers
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375'F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
This recipe works out great. We always have Peanut butter and milk in the house too.
Lets do the math!
Flour $0.25
Baking Powder $.05
Peanut Butter $1
Cup of milk $1
Total $2.30
(Based on the purchase price / amount used )
This Yielded me about 30 mini treats.
It costs around $.07 per treat! That's a whole lot cheaper than the stores. If we factor in the cost of energy its around $0.10 per treat which is still not bad.
