I once bought a box of carob dog treats from the supermarket which she loved, but after reading the ingredients I thought there must be a healthier alternative. The supermarket brand contains hydrogenated palm oil - not only palm oil which contributes to deforestation in Indonesia, Malyasia and Papua New Guinea, it's threatening the lives of Orangutans.
After a little Googling I found some recipes I adapted to make a more eco-friendly and healthy version for Olive. The recipes I found were typically for humans and all contained sugar, I just omitted this ingredient.
3/4 cup carob powder
1 cup coconut oil (we use unrefined, virgin coconut oil)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (alcohol free for doggies!)

Add all ingredients and mix - super easy! |

Pour into a grease-proof paper lined tray and put in the fridge |

Once set, take out of the fridge and break up into bite-sized peices |

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Coconut oil melts in warm weather so always keep these in the fridge. |
These carob treats are delicious, even without the sugar! Us humans ended up eating quite a few...Olive loved them too...
