What are the best treats for dogs?
When making treats or dog food, it’s very important to understand what foods your dog can and cannot eat. Just because we eat it, doesn’t mean that it’s safe for our pups to have. So, this post by the American Kennel Club tells you exactly what you can feed your dog.
Can you use regular flour to make dog treats?
Yes, you can use all-purpose white flour to make homemade doggie treats. However, wheat flour is a much better choice nutritionally. So, try going half and half if you’re not sure if your pup will like it.
Can dogs have peanut butter and banana?
Most definitely! Dogs generally love both peanut butter and banana. But, it’s very important to make sure that your peanut butter does not contain xylitol. That is deadly to dogs so be sure to check the ingredients label. However, you may want to try almond butter as well. Just remember, moderation is key.

Ellen runs a small pet sitting business in southern Vermont. She has experience with a variety of small animals, dogs and cats. She has also cared for ducks, chickens and rabbits. Combined, she has over 20 years of experience in pet care and pet sitting.
About 2 years ago we adopted an 8 year old chorky. she has a doggy door to go outside, and usually uses it. But there is the occasional puddle on the carpet. I am going to put down a couple of puppy pads in a designated area. But, if she persists in using the carpet how do I reprimand her?
Thanks for stopping by. The first thing to do is determine why she isn’t going outside. Is the weather bad when this happens? Is the door convenient for her and easy to get in and out of? Does she have any potential health issues that are influencing this? I would recommend speaking to her vet. I’ve also had very good luck with Doggie Lawn I wrote about here: https://other-peoples-pets.com/first-time-puppy-owner-tips/ Best of luck!
