Dogs wag their tails the same way for everyone.

Making homemade dog treats doesn’t need to feel like a big project. If you have a blender and a few dog-safe ingredients, you can whip up fresh snacks in minutes. Most blender treats start with simple bases like plain yogurt, banana, pumpkin, peanut butter, or oats. These are easy ingredients dogs already love and digest well.

From there, it’s all about mixing and pouring. Blend everything until smooth, spoon the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, and freeze. That’s it. For pups who prefer crunch, a thicker blend baked at a low temp works great for soft cookies or bite-sized biscuits. These treats are especially nice for dogs with sensitive stomachs since you control exactly what goes in.

Blender treats are also good for enrichment. Freeze the mixture inside a Kong, smear it on a lick mat, or add a cube to their slow feeder for a little extra joy in the day. Quick to prep and pup-approved, homemade treats don’t get simpler than this.

Walking your dog shouldn’t feel like repeating the same loop on autopilot. A few small additions can make the whole routine feel fresh, for you and your dog. Try weaving in short obedience moments between stretches of relaxed sniffing. A couple sits, downs, or “watch me” cues add structure without turning the walk into a training marathon. Many dogs also love tiny challenges, like hopping onto a low wall, balancing on a log, or exploring a new surface.

Changing the scenery helps, too. Swap the neighborhood loop for a quiet meadow, a forest trail, or even a calm city block if your dog is comfortable. New sights and smells turn an ordinary walk into a mini adventure. You can also bring a friend or meet up with another dog if your pup likes company. It’s a great way to break up the rhythm.

And don’t forget snacks for both of you. Pack a smoothie or iced coffee for yourself and a pup-safe lickable treat or frozen chew for your dog. Changing things up goes a long way in making your daily walk feel like something you both look forward to.

From magical matchups to furry facts, here’s what’s making tails wag:

• 💚 Is your dog more Glinda or Elphaba?

• 🐾 These dog breeds definitely shed the most

Daily Dig is inspired and brought to you by our wonderful dogs. Our dogs, and all the other pups out there, make the world a happier, brighter place. ❤️
