Compound Your Dog Supplements and Medications at Home
Vesta is playing clean up.
After thinking of ways to convince my dogs to happily take their supplements, I
came up with this idea based off of coconut oil chocolate fudge. Here’s a
recipe
for a version of it. I add coconut butter to mine in addition to the coconut
oil. The texture is very satisfying. I
could
bake supplements into cookies. However, this recipe is much easier to make, and
it doesn’t heat damage any of the supplements.
This recipe is appropriate for dogs who are active and lean. It is quite caloric, so I wouldn’t recommend it for dogs who are watching their caloric intake. My dogs already get coconut oil as a daily supplement so it isn’t too much different from what they already get. My dogs also get fish oil daily, but they eat those gel caps like candy. You can also make a golden paste "base" and add it to this recipe. Golden Paste is a turmeric based recipe that can be used or dogs or humans.
Homemade supplements treats!
Make 12 days supply of supplements.
Ingredients (adjust to accommodate the amount you are making):
Equipment:
Instructions:
Organic coconut oil and peanut butter.
Melt gentle in a pan.
Just a few of the supplements I give.
Once the peanut butter and oil are melted and mixed together, you can start adding the supplements. Here's turmeric, fenugreek, and ginger.
And here's the kelp and phytoflex.
I know what this looks like. The dogs will eat it anyways.
Once it is portioned, I chill and store stacked in the freezer. |
