A healthy dog is a beautiful dog! As dogs age their skin and coat can become dry and brittle. One way to add moisture and shine to your dogs coat is flax-seed and oils, which serve as a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, fiber and anti-oxidants. Fatty acids, an essential ingredient to any pets diet, help to improve the texture of his coat, making for fuller, shinier hair. Healthy skin and a healthy coat are not only beautiful to look at and to pet, but also give a good indication of your dog’s internal health.

Often time a dull coat can be a sign of other skin deep health problems like a weakened immune system. Flax-seed not only makes the coat shiny, it has positive benefits on the overall health and well being of your dog. By adding Flax-seed to your dog's diet you can improve your dogs immune system and cardiovascular health. As well as prevent and treat inflammatory disease (arthritis), heart disease, cancer, allergies and coat issues. Here is a recipe that will ensure your dog has a healthy shiny coat. This Shiny Coat Dog Treat Recipe is not only healthy for your dog but taste good!

Often times our toughest food critic is our dogs, but this is one recipe even the most finicky dog can't resist. Your pup will be happy to devour these wholesome, moist and delicious mini mutt cups made with pureed pumpkin and cream cheese. That's right! You don't have to wait until October to enjoy pumpkin's. Humans like an occasional sweet treat, and our dogs are no different. This Pumpkin Cheese Cup recipe is sure to satisfy your dog's sweet tooth. Leaving him barking "Where have you been all my life?" Hey, you might like them too, but be sure to leave enough for your canine pal. Enough with the small talk already, lets roll up our sleeves and get baking!

Ingredients

Yield: About 24 mini-mutt cups and 24 garnish cookies

For the Cups
2 1/2 cups (310 g) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup (40 g) whole rolled oats
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup (240 ml) water
1/2 cup (130 g) all-natural crunchy peanut butter

For the Filling
1/2 cup (100 g) puréed pumpkin
16 ounces (450 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

Preparation

For the Cups
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Combine wheat flour and oats in a large bowl. Add egg, water and peanut butter and mix well.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough and roll out to 1/8" (0.3 cm) thickness.
Cut out twenty-four 2" (5 cm) circles. Use remaining dough to cut out 24 small garnish cookies (Here’s an idea: Cut the cookies into your dog’s favorite shapes.)
Spray a mini-muffin pan with oil and lightly dust with flour. Lay circles in the mini-muffin cups and press.
Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool enough to handle, remove from pan, then let cool completely.
Store in sealed container until ready to fill with cheese mixture.

For the Filling
With a hand mixer, mix pumpkin and cream cheese together until well blended.
Place cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag with a large-tip opening; you can also use a plastic sandwich bag—snip corner of sandwich baggie to create a 1/2" (1.3 cm) opening.
Gently squeeze filling into cookie cups. Garnish with a small cookie.

You or someone you know may have an intolerance to gluten known as Celiac Disease. Like you, your dog can also have the same intolerance. Gluten is found in glutenous grains like wheat, soy, barley, oats and rye and is a common food allergy in dogs. Signs of gluten grain sensitivities may be seen in skin and coat issues, as well as triggered tummy and digestive difficulties. So batter up this gluten free recipe for waffles, perfect snack for dogs with sensitive stomachs and other digestive disorders.

Ingredients
3 ½ Tbsp soft butter or margarine
1 free-range egg
2 cups amaranth flour
1 cup carrot juice
2 Tbsp hazelnuts (if your dog has a nut allergy you could use millet flakes instead)
1 Tbsp baking powder
A pre-heated waffle maker

Makes 5 waffles

Preparation
Place the butter in the food processor or hand mixer and beat vigorously until it is fluffy. Add the egg. Mix together the flour, nuts or rolled oats and the baking powder, and pour the carrot juice into the butter and egg mixture. Combine all of the ingredients. The dough should be a thick mixture which glides off the spoon. If it’s too solid, add more carrot juice; if too runny, add more amaranth flour. Spoon three tablespoons of dough into the waffle maker for each waffle.

Important: Always allow the waffles to cool before eating.
