K-9 Lover,
I had PM you last year regarding dog foods. Your advise has been so helpful. My female shepherd has so many issues that the correct food is important. We switched to Blue Buffalo (lamb and brown rice) for her and for the first time in a long time she looks healthy. Poor little girl was bit by a brown recluse this summer so she has had a real battle. For treats I have used the Blue Buffalo and whenever I can I'll buy The Three Dog Bakery treats. Expensive but she loves them. Do you have any recipes for making dog treats?

Brown recluse? Thank God she survived! Three Dog Bakery are wonderful treats, but try my recipes . . . the peanut butter biscuit is really good. If you don't have cookie cutters, use a pizza cutter wheel and cut into any shape (that's faster, too). Some dogs are allergic to peanuts, so watch her carefully the first time you give her one of these.
