The 10 Percent Rule: Counting Calories for Puppy Treats

Welcome to this guide on the "10 Percent Rule: Counting Calories for Puppy Treats." As a dog training expert with over 30 years of experience, I've come across numerous queries from pet parents about the right way to treat their adorable puppies. One common concern is how to ensure their furry friends receive the right amount of treats without compromising their health. That's where the 10 Percent Rule comes into play! Key Takeaways: The 10 Percent Rule - Treats should make up no more than 10 percent of a puppy's daily calorie intake. - Counting calories for puppy treats helps maintain a balanced diet and prevent overfeeding. - Balanced treats are essential for providing necessary nutrients to support growth and development. - Healthy alternatives to high-calorie treats include vegetables, fruits, and chew toys. - Proper timing, consistency, and positive reinforcement are key in using treats for training.

Understanding the 10 Percent Rule

What is the 10 Percent Rule?

The 10 Percent Rule is a simple guideline that helps pet parents maintain a healthy balance when providing treats to their puppies. It suggests that treats should account for no more than 10 percent of a puppy's daily calorie intake. By following this rule, you can ensure that your pup enjoys the occasional tasty reward without overindulging. Why is the 10 Percent Rule important for puppy treats? Just like humans, puppies need a balanced diet to grow and thrive. While treats can be a valuable tool for training and bonding, excessive treat consumption can lead to weight gain and nutritional imbalances. Following the 10 Percent Rule helps maintain the overall nutritional balance in your puppy's diet, preventing excessive calorie intake and potential health issues. Now that we've covered the basics of the 10 Percent Rule, let's dive deeper into the world of counting calories for puppy treats and understanding why it's crucial for their well-being.

Understanding the 10 Percent Rule

Now that we have a grasp of the 10 Percent Rule, let's delve deeper into why counting calories for puppy treats is so important. By understanding the calorie content of treats and their impact on your pup's overall diet, you can make informed decisions and ensure their health and well-being.

Fall is Here and We’re Celebrating with Dog Biscuits!

12AM Cravings is not all about human food. We’re animal lovers too! Just before our big trip to South America, we wanted to make treats for our paw-ghter and bring enough for our puppysitter’s lab as well. Our chocolate lab loves pumpkin and peanut butter, so what better treat than pumpkin and peanut butter cookies for her! 

We love to use the best ingredients for our dog, and this year we grew pumpkins in the backyard. The peanut butter is organic and we try to use ethically raised eggs. Indeed our little (big) girl is special, and we have no shame in spoiling her!

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1/2 tsp of salt

2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour

1/2 cup of freshly steamed pumpkin

2 tbsp of organic peanut butter

2 eggs

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 365*F. The original recipe asked for 350*F, but we found that increasing the heat worked a little bit better for the ingredients we used. It’s all dependent on your oven though.

The first step is to steam the pumpkin to make pumpkin puree. The original recipe we found used canned pumpkins, but since we actually grew some in the backyard, we wanted to use the fruits of our labor! First remove the seed and the guts of the pumpkin and then cut into slices before putting it into the steamer. Steam for about 20 minutes or until it’s tender when you put a knife in it. 

While the pumpkin cools, we used our kitchen aid to help us mix the whole wheat flour, salt, and cinnamon together. Mix to incorporate. 

Then add your wet ingredients to the mixture (pumpkin, peanut butter, and eggs) and then mix together until it becomes a really firm dough. Keep mixing it and don’t be worried if it looks too dry. It’ll mix. If it’s too floury, just add a tiny bit of water to help it move along. 

Remove the dough from the bowl and onto a surface where you can roll it out until it’s about a 1/2 inch thick. We have cute doggie cookie cutters that we used for our doggie. She’s also a big girl (in size) and so we didn’t mind making the cookies a little bigger.

Place the cut cookies onto a baking sheet and then bake for 40 minutes. They don’t spread too much but they do rise a little.

Once done, let the cookies cool  before giving it to your doggie (safety is everything too!). 

Our puppers kept staring at the cooling racks all night, and she’d keep taking us to the cookies as they cooled. She definitely loved them and we hope that your doggies love them too!
