Recipe: CBD Dog Treats
my dog Miles' favorite cookies
These wholesome pet treats contain CBD for calming, plus turmeric, cinnamon, and oregano for anti-inflammatory and immune health. CBD may help dogs get relief from inflammatory issues, seizures, pain relief, and anxiety. Please consult your veterinarian
Makes 48 cookies
DOSING:
Since dog sizes vary, basic dosing is 1-5mg CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight. Read the label on any CBD products for your pets to measure the dosing accurately. You can make or buy CBD infused oil to use in this recipe.
I recommend buying a bottle of CBD oil tincture for this recipe, to make it easier to accurately dose the recipe according to your pet’s size. A list of my favorite pet CBD brands is below after the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup quick-cook oats
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1/2 cup unsweetened organic applesauce
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
240mg CBD total (recommended 5mg CBD per treat for dogs and cats)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir to combine. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more olive oil or coconut oil.
2. Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes with a round 2-inch cookie cutter. If you don't have cookie cutters, roll into balls and press flat with your hand. Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
3. Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool and store in a sealed container in the fridge or freeze for later. Slightly under-baked treats will be soft and prone to mold if kept too long in a warm place. Slightly over-baked, hard treats will last longer and less likely to mold. Store in the fridge or freeze.
Favorite CBD Brands to Try for Pets
These CBD brands with products for humans and their pets are worth checking out get two paws up from me for quality, efficacy, and education. And they’re made with hemp CBD, which means you can purchase them online and ship to any U.S. state.
My sweet rescue pitbull Miles Woowoo went over the rainbow bridge last year and it still feels weird not hearing his “woowooWOOOOO” around the house. He loved when I baked these peanut butter apple cookies for him and would lay in the kitchen staring at me until they were ready to eat.
Make these cookies for a sweet-slobbery-smoosh-face and share pics with me on IG @fruitandflower.
