Sprinkling leftover meat into a dog\u2019s food bowl might seem like a natural intuition when it comes to savory dishes<\/a>. But how many of us look at a slushy pile of leftover raspberries and think, \u201cMy dog would LOVE that\u201d?\u00a0 While adding protein, healthy starches, and vitamin-rich veggies might make sense to us, it is more challenging to consider how one might use sweeter items in dog food.\u00a0 Fortunately, we have gathered a list for plate-scraping pet owners who want to use yummy leftovers that are rich in antioxidants, proteins or probiotics (such as blueberries, peanut butter, or yoghurt) for the benefit of their dog. From cool summertime treats to tasty winter snacks, we will help you get a second round of use with those table scraps. Waste not, want not!<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter Berry Balls

Dogs love peanut butter, there is no doubt about it.\u00a0 When your peanut butter jar is getting low, take a spoon and scoop out the inside of the jar for the concoction. Add a dollop of yogurt to the bowl, along with any extra ingredients you have remaining that could compliment peanut butter (such as whole grain oatmeal, honey, dried fruits etc.).\u00a0 Add a few handfuls of berries to the bowl, and then microwave it for a 15-20 seconds. Stir the mixture together, and then put it into the fridge to cool. After a few hours, take the batter out, and role it into bite-sized balls with flour in your hands. Then put these in a large freezer bags in the fridge for storage.\u00a0

Frozen Yogurt Pops<\/h2>\n

Kids often will dig their spoons into a brand new yogurt for only a few bites before pushing it away. Keep these leftover bits and throw them into a blender.\u00a0 Add blueberries, apple slices, strawberries, bananas, even carrots pieces or oatmeal that your children may have abandoned. You can also pull out last night\u2019s leftover fruit salad or canned pears and add it to the other goodies to make fruit-soup. Mix this fresh-fruit-and-yogurt blend together, then pour the pur\u00e9e into popsicle molds for a chilly treat to give your dog on hot afternoons.<\/p>\n
