It’s All Greek Yogurt To Me Dog Treat Recipe

One of my favorite snacks has to be Greek yogurt. Smooth, creamy, and rich, Greek yogurt is a little taste of the Mediterranean you can enjoy in the middle of the day. And I’m so glad I can share it with Oscar… in the form of a homemade treat. For my “It’s All Greek Yogurt To Me” Dog Treat Recipe, I combined oatmeal, yogurt, and peanut butter to add a dog-friendly flavor to this cookie.

It’s All Greek Yogurt To Me Dog Treat Recipe

Makes about 35-40 treats

Ingredients:

                Directions:

                I recommend that you poke some fork holes in the middle of this treat. I whipped up a first batch, but pesky air bubbles caused some major aesthetic issues. For my second round, a few pokes with the fork solved that problem, and I was able to dip the perfectly formed treats in melted carob chips to add a bit of pizzazz and sweetness. Give them a try and let me know what you think.

                You may be wondering: Why Greek yogurt? Sure, it’s tasty, but is there any specific reason why we should incorporate it into our dog’s diet. Yes! Greek yogurt offers many great health benefits when you investigate its nutritional value.

                Yogurt is high in many nutrients including calcium, protein, and zinc. This helps to support your dog through each age of his life from providing the nutritional boost needed for a puppy’s growing bones to helping to slow the impact of aging. Greek yogurt generally has more calories than regular yogurt, but it contains less sugar and provides an even higher source of protein making it the healthier option of the two.

                In addition to supporting strong teeth and bones, Greek yogurt also contains valuable probiotics that can help to optimize your dog’s digestive system and provide relief for any digestive problems that he may face such as diarrhea or constipation. It helps to encourage better intestinal health, boost the immune system, support the heart, and encourage a healthy weight whether your dog is currently trying to lose weight or simply maintain the weight that he is at.

                Just be cautious that yogurts do have higher fat content. This isn’t a problem in moderation, but too much can lead to health complications like pancreatitis and obesity. So, make sure that you limit how many treats you feed your dog at any one time. They are a fun occasional snack, not a substitute for his regular diet.
