    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

As any dog owner knows, a four-legged friend can be the final piece of any family's puzzle. Their unconditional love, affection, and loyalty are just some of their most redeeming qualities. Whether you want to reward them for good behavior or simply show them how much you care, making homemade dog treats is a great way to surprise your pup with something special. Best of all, our recipes feature better-for-you, everyday ingredients that even humans can eat—not that we'd recommend you do, though.

An instant favorite is our classic Homemade Dog Biscuits. Using only seven ingredients, this recipe makes a whopping five dozen, meaning you can fill your pup's cookie jar in one go. The dough consists of flour, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, salt, and canola oil and is baked in a 400-degree oven before getting brushed with low-sodium chicken stock. The final treats will have your dog's nose working overtime. We also go so far as to cut them into the shape of a bone, but circles, squares, or any other cutters you have on hand work for these homemade treats.

For a trendy option that they're sure to love, make Pupcakes. These cupcakes for your dog look so good, you might just want to steel a bite (and if you really want, you can! They're made with wholesome, human-friendly ingredients). The cake calls for peanut butter, bananas, flour, egg, and rolled oats among other cooking essentials, while the frosting is made from a combination of peanut butter and Greek yogurt. Another sweet option that they're sure to love is our Blueberry Dog Biscuits. As the name entails, they're made with frozen organic blueberries for a mouthwatering surprise. Nutritious components like quinoa flour and flax meal round out the homemade indulgence.

Ahead, we're showing you how to create more tasty treats at home for your canine companion.
