Carrot And Banana Dog Treat Recipe

Published A Few Days Ago

Are you having a hard time feeding your dog veggies and fruits? May I suggest putting them cookie form – because everything tastes better when it’s in a cookie! That’s the idea behind our Carrot and Banana Dog Treat Recipe. I had a couple of really ripe bananas chilling in the freezer, so I pulled them out especially for this treat. They turned out hard once they had cooled, which gave Oscar something to work on while I cleaned up the mess. This is one recipe I’ll be making again in the future.

Are Bananas Good for My Dog?

We have often been told about how healthy bananas are to incorporate into our own diets, but does this carry over to our dogs as well? Are bananas a good choice to add a new flavor and fun to our dog’s treats? Packed with potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, and magnesium, this delicious fruit is a great choice for dogs that may be experiencing any form of gastrointestinal upset. They also work to encourage healthy, strong bones while also helping the body to absorb more vitamins and nutrients out of the food that they are eating daily.

There are two important factors to consider when deciding whether to incorporate banana into your dog’s food. First, they are high in sugar. While this isn’t going to bother your dog if fed in moderation, allowing your dog to eat too many bananas can have a negative result. Additionally, banana peels may not be toxic, but they are difficult for your dog to digest. For this reason, they can lead to a blockage and additional complications.

Some easy ways to incorporate banana into your dog’s diet is to do some baking (like the treat recipe included here), mash it up with their kibble, or stuff it into a Kong or similar treat-based toy. You can also place your banana in the freezer whole, giving it time to freeze through before peeling it (and disposing of the peel) and cutting the frozen banana into slices that they can enjoy.
