Low Protein Dog Treat Recipe
Low Protein Veggie Treats

Why A Low Protein Dog Treat Recipe?

I'm not a vet but my research and readers tell me that dogs with kidney failure seem to respond better to low protein as the kidneys don't have to work as hard to process the food.

Talk with your vet to determine a special diet for a pet with kidney failure.

Low Protein Veggie Treats

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (optional)

  • 6 Tablespoons low sodium, low fat chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup cold water

  • 1 cup cooked vegetable (sweet potatoes, zucchini or winter squashes—cooked and smashed or pureed)

  • Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Combine flour and garlic powder. Mix in chicken broth and vegetable(s). Add enough cold water to form a ball. Roll out dough to 1/2" and using a cookie cutter, cut into shapes (your choice—I like to use one shaped like a bone or a heart). Place on a non-stick cookie sheet & bake for 25 minutes. Let cool.

    Since there are no preservatives, I recommend storing all homemade dog treats in the refrigerator.
