5 Ingredient Grain Free Homemade Dog Treats

I have one very spoilt fur baby.

We always celebrate his birthday and this year, Coopar turned seven!

 I always like to make him something extra tasty for his birthday and funnily enough I have a vege loving dog. So instead of a mince cake or bacon biscuits, he had yummy and super nutritious dog biscuits!

Coopar is a very sensitive dog, his skin is easily affected by grass, dust and general environment and diet changes. I make all of Coopar's dog food from scratch and his daily diet consists of lots of veges, chicken, organs, offal and bones. I add kelp, flaxseed, rose hip and lots of other nutrients to jam pack his little body full of all the nutrients he needs. If you want to know more, then feel free to ask. it is something I am very passionate about!

So, back to the birthday celebrations. 

Coopar has a grain free diet, so I wanted to make him something healthy and full of his two favourite foods - sweet potato and carrots.

I found the perfect recipe, you can see the original recipe source here.

The whole time I had this face looking up at me from the kitchen floor. he was ready to snaffle up any crumbs that came his way that's for sure!

They cooked in about 15 minutes in my convection oven and I let them cool and harden up slightly, as they are quite soft.

Coopar the whole time was eyeing me off in the kitchen, it was like he knew they were for him!

Here is how they went down with the birthday boy...

So after all the excitement, I had one very happy looking boy. Very satisfied with his birthday biscuits!

Look at that face...
