You probably will not like the taste of the icing, but your dog will. Please don't use your own taste buds to judge what your dog will or will not like. Dogs use their heightened sense of smell to judge if they want to eat something. They don't need to have the sugary, sweet taste that humans enjoy in order to devour a food
product. Coating chips, candy meltsCoating chips are loaded with sugar and fat. They appear to dry hard, but if the treats are left in a warm place, or shipped in a warm truck, the "icing" will melt into a gooey mess. When the dog bites into these candy coated treats, the candy will start to "melt" and get all over the dog's mouth and/or your carpet. The next time you are in a pet store, browse through the dog treats on sale. Take a look at the packaging. If the icing is sticking to the wrapping, chances are high that the bakery used coating chips or candy chips. The treats were likely shipped in a hot truck or stored somewhere with a warm temperature. These treats do not make a pretty presentation, do they.. The secret they don't want you to know..."yogurt chips"Candy chips are easy to use. All the baker has to do is heat them up and melt them. Then when they dry, it looks like it's a hard coating. As soon as you leave the treats in your warm car, the icing starts to melt. That's because the fat in the candy is starting to heat up. When it heats up it melts. Yogurt chips are mainly hydrogenated fat and sugar. There may be a little yogurt in them. Bakery items are advertised as being decorated with yogurt icing, however, the truth is that they are mainly fat and sugar and maybe there's a little yogurt. They can't tell you that because you would never buy the product! You can tell if a pet bakery uses yogurt chips. The icing will start to melt and stick to the wrapping. This is very noticeable especially during holiday sales of pet treats in the big retail outlets. You can find brightly decorated treats but look closely at the ones shoved in the back! They are allowed to claim that they are using "yogurt chips because there is likely a small amount of yogurt in the ingredients. You will see this in the ingredient list. The main ingredients are fat and sugar. Questions about dog
treat icing or dog treat frosting? ASK OUR EXPERT Do homemade dog treats need to be refrigerated?Soft baked treats should always be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Meat, fish, cheese, fruits and vegetables can all make treats softer, although extra baking time, or putting them in a dehydrator after they're finished baking, can dry them out.
How long does dog icing last?It's best to seal these Dog Treats in an airtight container and store in the fridge. They will stay good in the fridge for up to 2 months, or you can freeze them for up to 8 months!
Is frosting safe for dogs?Can dogs eat icing? A small amount of icing won't hurt your dog, but a large chunk of icing or cake may cause diarrhea, vomiting, retching, and a very upset stomach. Of course, the amount of icing that will cause this reaction depends on how big your dog is and how sensitive their digestive system is.
Do homemade pumpkin dog treats need to be refrigerated?Lay them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake until dry and firm. Once cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They would make a great gift for any of your furry friends! They should keep at least a week at room temperature, two weeks in the fridge, or you can freeze them.
