Mama Dog's Treat

Our seven year old son makes mother's milk.  That's what we call the special drink we make for our nursing dams.  He is very excited about his job; it makes him feel important! He makes this three times a day and carries it out to the whelping box for mama dog.  She watches for him to come and starts licking her lips when she spies him.  She knows a special treat is coming just for her.

Here is our recipe for mother's milk: 

1 Can evaporated milk 
1 Can water 
2  raw eggs 
spoonful of honey (or corn syrup)
1-2 slices of ripped up bread (optional)


Mix all together and then drop in bread. Serve cold with a nice scratch behind the diner's ear once poured.

Recipe... Dane Ice Cream Treats


Almost Frosty Paws “Doggie Ice Cream”
  • 32 oz. vanilla yogurt
  • 1 large mashed banana (or a large jar of baby food banana)
  • 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons of honey
Blend together and freeze in small Dixie Cups or plastic “take out” containers. If using Dixie Cups, just peel away the paper and put directly into their food bowl to serve. My dog prefers that they “warm up” for 10-15 min. before serving.
