Cookie Cutters
Dog bone shaped cookie cutters have worked best with all our dog treat recipes.
We like to use the smaller cutters for our little ones and the larger one to give out as gifts to our big dog friends.

I just have question about the garlic and onion powder in this recipe. I know that onions are not good for dogs and I think I read recently where garlic could be all right in small amounts but I would have to read up on that again to be sure. I’d really like to make these for my doggos but I’m hesitant about using the garlic and onion powder called for. Please know I am not judging here I am just wanting to pick your brain and maybe gain some knowledge on this topic. Is onion powder safe for dogs because of the processing involved in turning the onion to powder?

Thank you for your concern. If you are uncomfortable including garlic and onion powders to this recipe please feel free to omit both of these ingredients. The toxic component in onions and garlic is n propyl disulfide. It is a small molecule that contains two sulfur atoms. This recipe only contains trace amounts of onion and garlic per treat. To become toxic there is a dose effect. We have done the math and it would take 2/3’s of a pound or 300 grams of a fresh onion to reach toxic levels in a typical 20 pound dog. Our recipe only gives 6/100’s of 1 gram of onion and garlic powdered form per mini treat. In other words a 20 pound dog would have to eat 469 treats in one setting to reach toxic levels. To back up this information you can read more about onion toxicity at the AKC site at (https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions/ or Petmd at https://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/toxicity/are-onions-and-garlic-bad-your-dog#:~:text=%E2%80%9COnion%20toxicities%20are%20consistently%20noted,form%20such%20as%20in%20spices). For garlic toxicity please see the AKC site at (https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic/#:~:text=How%20much%20garlic%20is%20toxic,changes%20in%20a%20dog's%20blood). I hope this information helps and eases your mind. I would also recommend checking with your veterinarian to be super safe.
