DIY Pet Treats

Nutrition is important for pets in our care, as extended members of the family. Pet owners are invited into the Catskills Kitchen to create homemade, healthy, and affordable treats for their dogs or cats. Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC) is offering a DIY Pet Treats workshop Saturday, December 9, 2017. The hands-on class will be held from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm in the Catskills Kitchen of CCESC’s Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. Participants should bring a bag lunch.

CCESC Master Food Preserver volunteers will present how to make nutritious dog and cat treats as a way to save money and provide a safe, healthy alternative to store-bought treats using ingredients you can trust.

Homemade pet treats make great holiday gifts! Everyone will take home prepared food samples.

Cost is $30 per person or $25 per CCESC enrollee. Anyone can enroll in CCESC for an annual contribution of $25 and receive a monthly subscription to the Extension Connection magazine. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE.

Registration can be completed by calling CCESC at 845-292-6180, emailing sullivan@cornell.edu, or using the link in TICKETS.

Payment can be made in advance by check, cash, or credit. Additional donations for CCESC programs are appreciated.

In the event of financial hardship or special needs, the public should contact the office.
