Croquettes with pumpkin and peanut butter

Ingrediants:

Half a cup of whole wheat flour
2 eggs
Half a cup of pumpkin in tin
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
Half a tablespoon of salt
Half a tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Preparation:

This is an ideal recipe for dogs. Preheat the oven to 175ºC.
In a bowl, mix flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt and cinnamon. Add water if necessary, but not too much because the dough must remain dry and stiff. Roll up the dough and cut into small pieces.
Place everything in the overheated oven until the dough becomes hard (it will take about 40 minutes).

Recipes for cats with bones and treats

Ingrediants:

2 kg of bones with chicken

400 grams of chicken heart

200 grams of raw chicken liver

NOTE: If you cannot find the heart or liver, you can replace the corresponding amount of these organs with normal chicken.

2 cups of water

4 raw egg yolks

4 capsules of glandular supplement

4,000 mg of salmon oil

800 IU of vitamin E

200 mg of vitamin B-50

Half a teaspoon of iodized salt

Preparation:

Remove half of the skin from the meat. Save the sliced ​​meat for later, but don’t mince it.

Chop the liver, skin, bones and raw heart into pieces. Subsequently, mix everything with the meat and put it in the fridge.

Fill a bowl with 2 cups of water and mix the preparation with the supplements, excluding psyllium. Divide the preparation into portions and place it in containers to freeze.

To serve this succulent recipe, place the frozen product in an airtight zip bag. Submerge the bag in hot water. Never use the microwave to heat your cat’s food. In fact, cats love to eat meals at room temperature.

Every two or three days it is advisable to pour drops of fresh salmon oil on the prepared food. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids which are good for your cat. Also, most cats really like the taste of this oil.

Keep in mind that not all cats need additional fiber (psyllium) in their diet. However, if your cat has been eating low-quality pre-made food, such as kibble and dry food in general, for a long time, she may have lost elasticity in her intestines and this type of recipe can help by adding a precious extra dose of fiber.
