Making Your Puppy Pizza
Step 1: Prepare the "Doggie Dough"
Start by preparing the base for your Puppy Pizza. Use the same serving size of ButcherBox For Pets Premium Nutrition Dog Food you would for a regular meal. Soak the dry dog food in warm water, doubling the amount of water to food. For example, use ½ cup dry food with 1 cup water (160 calories). Allow the dry dog food to soak for a few hours, or overnight, until it becomes soft and easily squishable.
Once it is soft, smoosh it into the bottom of a small bowl or container, shaping it into your pizza crust. Tip the container upside down onto a flat plate—this is your "doggie pizza dough."
Step 2: Add the "Sauce"
Next, add a small coating of ButcherBox For Pets Chicken & Quinoa Topper as the pizza sauce. Use 1 tablespoon of topper (20 calories) to spread evenly over the doggie dough.
Step 3: Sprinkle the Cheese
Top your pizza with a small amount of Cabot shredded cheese. Use ½ oz of shredded cheese (35 calories). Remember, moderation is key to avoid any gastrointestinal upset in your furry friend.
