Homemade Gingersnap Cookies for Dogs Treats

During this festive time of year, it's not just us who enjoy a bit of a treat - your dog will also appreciate these festive GingerSnap Cookies for Dogs.

Gingersnap dog treats have been made more enjoyable by removing the sugar and enhancing the ginger flavor.

My two dogs, Ruby and Callie, enjoyed this recipe. It definitely passed the test! These dog friendly cookies were a hit with both of them. This recipe is perfect for gingersnap dog treats for the holidays or Christmas.

As a tasty reward, you can give your dog these gingersnap cookies in small quantities as part of a healthy diet. We should give only puppies and dogs over the age of six months ginger. If you have any concerns about giving your dog a homemade treat, consult your veterinarian.

Ingredients Used for GingerSnap Cookies

• Whole Wheat Flour - Whole Wheat Flour has more nutrients that regular All Purpose Flour. However, you can use either if you prefer.

• Egg - Simply bind it all together.

• Coconut Oil - Not only is coconut oil good for your dog's skin and fur, it's also good for your dogs in making homemade dog treats.

• Blackstrap Molasses - Blackstrap molasses is an excellent ingredient for homemade dog treats. Blackstrap molasses contains a high level of manganese, which is an antioxidant that strengthens bones. It contains iron, copper, and other minerals that are good for you (and your dog).

• Ground Ginger - Ginger is safe for your dog to eat in small quantities. Dogs suffering from motion sickness, blood circulation problems, nausea, gastrointestinal problems, or bloat can benefit from consuming this supplement. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help dogs with arthritis.

• Cookie Cutters - Cute Gingerbread cookie cutter.
