I have a great doggy ice cream recipe:

32oz non-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Mix and put into small glad containers and freeze. You can run some water over the containers when they are frozen and they pop right out.

Bananas are good also, or any fruit that your dog would like.


My Vet said that on occasion Buddy could have "real" ice cream, so I saved those times when we went to the Vet once a year. There was an Ice cream shop down the street, and we would stop on the way home and he would have vanilla ice cream in cup. Not so bad, eh?

Please let me know if it is ok to add garlic into my homemade stews. I was, till i read about onions AND GARLIC in your taboo/dangerous foods list.
Please clarify, as i believe in the goodness of garlic and want to know whether to add or remove it from Sasha's diet. You wrote of it leading to anemia...or was i mistaken??? Plz clarify?

[MaryAnn]

Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop anemia.

With garlic, dogs can react in different ways. A lot of conflicting information exists about whether garlic is dangerous for your dog's health. It has benefits but should be used with caution.

Positive Effects of Giving Your Dog Garlic
Garlic helps strengthen your dog's immune system. It also works as a natural flea repellent, particularly when mixed with brewer's yeast.

Negative Effects of Giving Your Dog Garlic
Garlic is a member of the onion family. This group of foods is very high in sulfur and, in the long term, can cause an anaemic reaction in your dog. Smaller dogs are more likely to be affected by anaemia. If you are concerned, you can take your dog for regular blood tests at your local vet.

The small amounts of garlic used in cooking and natural flea medications are not going to act as dog poison. However, it is still important to stay aware of the possible side effects and keep an eye on your dog's health if you choose to give him garlic.

I agree... I add garlic powder but not garlic per se to the recipes I use for the dogs..
