Buddy, Denny, and Dexter taught me that a happy dog needs more than food and treats. They need opportunities to sniff, explore, play, feel safe, and spend time with their people. I’ve gathered resources I’ve used, discovered through hosting Pupvacay, or wish had been available when my dogs were with me. You’ll find private dog parks, food and treats, health and safety services, enrichment ideas, and a few special memories of the three dogs who inspired this list. I hope it helps you create more happy, tail-wagging moments with yours. 🐾💕-- (AD) This list contains affiliate links. I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

When I started eating low-carb and gluten-free, meat and vegetables were the easy part. It was everything else I missed: bread, buns, bagels, muffins, pancakes, crackers, cookies and treats! Gluten-free alternatives were harder to find back then, and many were expensive, didn't work with my other food restrictions or, frankly, tasted like cardboard. 😂 So I started experimenting in my own kitchen. This collection includes 15 of the recipes I created or adapted along the way, from flaxseed bread and 5-minute muffins to cheese crackers, chocolate fudge and more. Each one links to the complete recipe, nutrition information and my original tips and experiments on my Carbs & Fat blog.
