We can also get it at Petco, which is cheaper than mail order. She's really thriving on it, but if for some reason we need to switch her, we'll probably go with V-Dog. Good call about the salt, though! Well, I asked a couple people what they fed their vegan dogs, and all of them recommended Natural Balance.

We had such a hard time settling on a vegan food, but went w/V-Dog because sodium was rather low on the list of ingredients. (We're trying to restrict Kaylee's salt intake.) @ Sara - Any time! Re: freshly-baked treats, Molly includes instructions for biscuits (which I would assume last longer) on her recipes at IAVDL, but I haven't had a chance to test them yet - the dogs get so impatient! When making muffins, usually I'll freeze half the batch so they don't go bad. @ Shannon – I’m just curious – Why Natural Balance?

I love making my baby homemade treats - plus, it gives me (and my waistline) a break from having to eat all my baked goods myself ;) You know, you're right..homemade treats don't keep as long as store-bought, but I tend to make smaller batches in sizes I know I can give her within 3-4 weeks time. The longer you bake them, the longer they'll keep (that's just a general rule, not hard and fast rule). When I leave them soft like my cookies, they'll only keep for about a week or so, but when I bake them to a hardness similar to store-bought, they'll keep for 3-4 weeks in an airtight container... Mocha absolutely adores blueberries and carrots. One thing I like to make her as a special treat is a peanut butter, banana, and agave nectar 'sundae' - but it mostly just looks like mush, but she loves it! Sometimes I'll even toss on some rolled oats... Her favorite dinner is quinoa with pureed greens and squash and a few carrot chunks for texture! Thanks for linking to our ‘Pet the Pooch’ category!

Once we finish off her non-vegan treats, she'll be a vegan dog too! She's funny about vegetables, though: sometimes she loves them, and other times she'll just chew on them for a while and leave a soggy pile of veggie mush on the floor. Gross.
