Whether as a snack for your own pet or as a gift idea: here you will find a simple recipe for dog cookies from Animal Corner head of department Maggie Entenfellner. And cat behavior expert Petra Ott shows you how to prepare healthy treats for your furry friend.

Baking is part of the pre-Christmas season for many people. If you want, you can also do this for your pets. Treats can be fed as a reward during training or simply as a loving gift. Unlike industrially produced snacks, you know what's inside.

Petra Ott’s Rezept

So „backen“ Sie Ihre Samtpfote ein

The ingredients (quantities in the video):

• Tuna (oil-free)

• coconut flour

• one organic egg
• pinch of catnip

Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl with a whisk until you have a spreadable mixture. Spread this into the silicone mold (e.g. heart-shaped) using a pastry card.

Bake in the oven at 160 degrees for about 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and remove the cookies from the mold - serve as a reward for in-between meals or for search games.

Tip: You can also find baking mats for treats in your "Krone" world of benefits. Make sure that your pet always has enough water available. Especially if you spoil it with "dry" treats, the need for liquid increases.

The "Krone" pet corner wishes you all the best and a wonderful Advent season!
