Just a note of warning. Be careful feeding your pets "people food". It can be really hard on their bodies and cause pancreitis (sp?) because it is usually too fatty and sugary for them.

[2dogsmom]

these recipes come from the three dog bakery, a well known and respected maker of natural dog treats. the recipes are vet approved and have wholesome ingredients, unlike most other dog treats you will find, that are loaded with fillers, preservatives and other ingredients that i cannot even pronounce! these recipes are not considered "people food"; they are just completely natural dog treats. if you have any concerns for your individual dog, perhaps you should consult your vet. my dogs eat only natural treats and have been doing so for years, and i have not had one problem.

wow these treats sound great for my little pouchy, I am going to give them a try. Do you have any more recipies

[2dogsmom]

i do have more recipes and will be happy to post them. i will set aside some time this week. :)

[2dogsmom]

french fried you will not believe this. i just spent about an hour typing dog recipes and when i clicked on submit, i was asked for my log-in info and then it lost everything i typed. I AM NOT HAPPY!!! anyway, were there any specific types of recipes you were looking for? meals, desserts, treats, snacks? there are just too many recipes in here to list them all, but i would be happy to post some.

Sorry to hear that. :( Thats happened to me before on another site. I wrote for a long period of time and then I submitted and lost everything. :?

[2dogsmom]

well. good to know i am not the only one!
bet it won't happen again!!

I've had the same problem (not here) when typing something long, or just when my computer or the internet decide to act up. What I usually do if it is important is, when I finish typing, I highlight and copy what I have just typed. Then if something happens to wipe it out, you can paste and send.

I do that too Barbara. I have learned my lesson. I was soooooooooo mad! Well, I would STILL like to see your recipes! :)
