Savory Veggie Bites For Your Next Dog Party

We've been having an unusually mild winter this year and this past weekend was no exception. With beautiful blue skies, sunshine,  and temperatures in the 60's, it was the perfect opportunity to spend time outdoors with the dogs.

Tootsie's cousin, Mr A, was expected to be popping over for a visit, along with his Momma.  It seemed the perfect opportunity to do something special for all the dogs.

I didn't want to head to the store, knowing Mr A and his Momma would be arriving soon, so I did a little brainstorming, with some assistance from Mr W ...

I've been wanting to try out a few new treat recipes for our pups, that are both healthy and delicious.  I figured this was a great way  to accomplish my goal and have a special surprise for the dogs!

With the ingredients I had on hand, I was able to come up with this simple and easy recipe to make for the dogs.

The dogs loved these savory veggie bites so much, that I decided I needed to  share this  recipe with you!

Savory Veggie Bites Recipe

A Healthy Treat Your Dog Will Love

Ingredients:

•  3/4 Cup Organic Greek Yogurt, Plain
• 6 Florets of Organic Broccoli
• 8 Organic Petite Baby Carrots

Directions:

1. Place Greek yogurt in a strainer , lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter.  Allow liquid to drain off.  
2. Finely chop broccoli and carrots in blender.
3. Gently combine vegetables with yogurt.
4. Form mixture into bite size balls.  Allow veggie bites to rest on a paper towel lined tray, to  drain off any excess moisture. 

Plate veggie bites on a platter with garnishes of mini dog bones or a few carrot sticks and  broccoli florets. 

Serve to your furry guests to get the party started ❤

On a side note, you can drain the yogurt in the fridge the night before,(see step 1 above), to speed up the preparation of the treats.  You can also chop the vegetables coarser if you want the bites to have more of a crunchy texture.  For us having dogs with different needs, one senior and two small dogs, I found it was better to use a fine chop for the veggies. I also made small, medium and large size bites, to accommodate the tiniest to largest of mouths.

The dogs had a great time at our party, we took lots of pictures to capture the fun!

Here are a few snapshots from our outdoor, beautiful weather, celebration.

Mr. W, Mr Stewy and Mr A patiently waiting to try the veggie bites.

 I would also like to send out a special thank you, to Mr A's Momma, for assisting with the outdoor photography.  She got some awesome shots, wouldn't you agree?


It was really nice to spend time outdoors with the dogs and Mr A's Momma. I think the surprise veggie bites made it extra special for our pups.

Do you have outdoor celebrations with your dogs?  What's your favorite place to have a dog party?
Would love to hear all about it!

Until next time, get outside and enjoy time with your fur baby ❤
