Video: How to Make Doggy Trail Mix

It’s no secret that I love making treats and snacks myself for my dogs. I love knowing exactly what’s going into the treats, and by adding certain things that I know my dogs love, I know they won’t go to waste either.

In this series of videos, Melinda Cerritos of Four Paws Pantry in Virginia goes over the basics of making her doggy trail mix. She uses dry breakfast cereals, carob chips, butter, cheese powder, Pupperoni, and brown gravy mix. None of these are terribly healthy for your dog, so you wouldn’t want to feed this constantly — it’s a treat for a reason!

In the second video, she talks about how to pick the best ingredients for the trail mix, explaining how for smaller dogs the cereals can easily be broken in half to accommodate them. The Pupperoni pre-packaged treats can also be substituted for your dog’s favorite treat.

Part three goes over the ingredients measurements, part four gets down to business with making the trail mix, part five is the baking, and part six is storage.
