Making Dog Treats Using Cheerios

Hey Mike - I tried the soaking the O's in liquid and ended up with a very hot bowel of mush! What did I do wrong a little more detail Please!

If you soak the cheerios in any liquid (milk, water, etc) and then microwave them for like 4 o 5 minutes, it makes them super hard and tough. Good for strengthening dogs jaws and cleaning their teeth!

I put Cheerios in my dog's kong toys. She loves to bounce them about and watch them fall out. She gobbles them up!

My dog likes them in a bowl with milk. Just like the kids!!

My friend's baby kept having diahrrea (sp?), so she took her to the Dr. When the Dr. inquired about the baby's diet, my friend told him what all she feeds her daughter. The Dr. said to quit feeding her Cheerios cereal, as it's known for it's laxative effect.

Cheerios have a surprisingly high sodium content. Please use sparingly.

My mom uses cheerios for her dog's treats and they love them.

At first he didn't want them in his dog dish (that's why I asked about making a treat), but yesterday he decided they were interesting enough to eat.

These are the plain Cheerios.

If these are the "plain" Cheerios (i.e., not sugar-coated, or "honey-flavored"), just mix the cereal along with his regular food. Easy, simple, and he'll thank you! It seems this cereal is beneficial to many animals...fish included. My pond koi and goldfish love 'em! I do have to break each piece into about four little pieces so they'll be small enough for their little mouths, tho'. I just grab each piece and pinch it between my fingers and toss them in their pond. It's a feeding frenzy just watching them fighting for a piece! They actually prefer the Cheerios over their regular pond pellets. Hm! Who would've guessed?

Why not just pour the Cheerios into his dog dish?
