Pet Tips of the Week

Halloween is coming up soon so this week why not try out a home made treat for your furry friend!

Cat Treats-Kittens Want Candy Too!
These quick and easy Halloween cat treats are made with items found in most cupboards and even the finickiest feline should enjoy these.

You will need:
  • Baking sheet
  • 1 8-ounce can of tuna in oil (if packed in water, drain well but use the water to make up the 3/4 needed, and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil)
  • 2 cups cornmeal
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • Orange food coloring


  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
  • Except for the food coloring, combine the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl and knead it lightly until it forms a thick dough.  After the ingredients are incorporated, add a couple of drops of orange food coloring, and knead into the dough.  If not dark enough, add a drop or two at a time.  Too much orange coloring and the dough takes on an unattractive color (but the cat won't know anyways!)
  • Roll out the dough on a large, floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters in the shape of Halloween figures, cut the dough into small shapes.
  • Place the cut treats on a greased baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes
  • Cool the cat treats to room temperature and store them in an air tight container


Dog Treats- Gimme a Halloween Treat!
Halloween is all about treats and someone does not want to get left out!  This seasonal recipe is simple and easy.

  • 2 egg whites
  • Half cup solid-pack pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon molasses 
  • Half cup water
