Valentine Dog Treats (or Gifts for Other Special Occasions)
Valentine's Day is a celebration of love... so
why not make it extra special for the canine love
of your life? Valentine dog treats are sure to be
welcome, and tasty homemade goodies are both easy
to make and dogs love them. You can even give them
away as gifts to your dog-crazy friends! Here are
a few ideas for packaging up some Valentine dog treats:
First, of course, you'll need your treats (cut biscuits
into dog shapes, or fire hydrants, or bones...). Try
these gourmet dog treat recipes:
Once you have the goodies ready, try using one
of these gift ideas:
- Package the treats in a pretty bag or bottle.
Customize it by printing out a photo of the dog and
placing in on the package, or decorating the package
with a "doggy" theme, ie. bones, little dogs, etc.
- Package the goodies in a dog dish. There
are many great dishes available that are relatively
inexpensive (check flea markets too). Pile the treats
into the bowl, and wrap.
- Purchase a specially made dog cookie jar
.
These come in many different sizes and shapes. Our dogs
have their fire hydrant cookie jar, and they know that
when we open it up, a treat is on the way.
- Stuff a kong. A kong is a multi-tiered
rubber toy (you'll find them in most pet supply stores)
with a hole in the middle. Stuff the homemade goodies
in the middle to provide your dog with hours of fun (and
food!).
Be sure to supervise pets appropriately to ensure
they do not consume the decorative items as well as
the treats!
