Who doesn’t love a good repurpose, especially when it comes to treating your pup with something healthy? Below are 3 healthy and delicious tips for repurposing your Barkley’s Bag bones.
Don’t forget to scrub your bones with hot water before filling!
PEANUT BUTTER + BANANA + HONEY
Instructions:
- in a mixing bowl mash approx. 1/2 of a banana (smaller piece if banana is large)
- add to mixing bowl approx. 1 tbs of peanut butter and 1 tsp of honey and mash
- fill bone and place in freezer until frozen and ready for treat time!
*please note: peanut butter is high in fat so do not fill entire bone. Dogs should only have small portions at a time.
SWEET POTATO PUREE
Instructions:
- rinse and scrub sweet potato (keep the skin on for added nutrients!)
- cut sweet potato into eighths and place in a large pot
- add enough water to just cover the potatoes
- boil sweet potatoes until tender for 15 – 20 minutes
- drain pot and place sweet potato pieces in a bowl to mash
- fill bone and place in freezer until frozen and ready for treat time!
PURE PUMPKIN (great for digestion)
Instructions:
- simply purchase 1 can of Organic Pumpkin
- fill bone with organic pumpkin puree and place in freezer until frozen and ready for treat time!
Please note: You will produce more stuffing than needed for all three recipes.
Place excess in a storage container in the fridge for the next days treat!
