A culinary preparation designed for canine consumption, this sweetened coating enhances palatability and visual appeal of baked or commercially produced goods intended as rewards or supplemental nourishment. An example includes combining plain yogurt, peanut butter (xylitol-free), and honey to create a simple, spreadable topping for dog biscuits.
The application of these edible glazes offers several advantages. They can increase a dog’s interest in treats, particularly for those with discerning palates or decreased appetites. Historically, basic mixtures of animal fats were used, evolving to incorporate more palatable and visually attractive ingredients as pet ownership practices advanced.
