Homemade treat!

#pettreats #lemon8challenge

Don't have any store bought dog treats ?

Make your own lick mat for your dog.

It's perfect because it's delicious and it keeps them occupied for a bit.

Our border collies love these , especially in the summer time when it's hot out.

We have a bunch of different molds too so soon we'll be making homemade treats😋 #lemon8contest #dogs @Lemon8 Pets #letschat

2024/11/26 Edited to

Creating homemade dog treats offers numerous benefits for pet owners and their furry companions. Not only is it often healthier than store-bought options, allowing for the control of ingredients, but it can also be a fun bonding activity. Lick mats, specifically, are an excellent way to stimulate dogs mentally and physically, especially in the summertime when temperatures soar. Dogs, including border collies, enjoy cooling down with tasty concoctions spread on lick mats, helping to alleviate boredom and anxiety. This DIY approach also enables customization to cater to your pet's dietary preferences or restrictions. For example, you could use pureed fruits, vegetables, or dog-safe peanut butter to create irresistible flavors that entice your pup. Additionally, experimenting with different molds allows for various presentations, making treat time even more engaging. Overall, making lick mats is not just about entertainment; it promotes positive behaviors and satisfaction, ensuring your dog stays happy and healthy. Before you get started, consider researching some safe ingredients to enrich your recipes and ensure you're not introducing anything harmful. Engaging in the #pettreats community on platforms like Lemon8 can also provide inspiration and share experiences with other pet owners. So let your creativity flow and treat your dog to something special!

I don’t have a dog, but I do have a cat. What does also work for her? She likes really fishy things and has a placemat that was just like this, but I’m not sure about the food options.

I really love this idea 😍 the dog gets a tasty treat and it keeps them entertained. I’m going to have to do this for my dog. Thanks for sharing.
