🐾🍪 Nurse Amanda’s Famous Homemade Doggy Biscuits! 🍪🐾

If you’ve ever visited Aura Veterinary Hospital during Christmas, Easter, or Halloween, there’s a good chance your pet has sampled one of Nurse Amanda’s homemade dog cookies! 🎄🐰🎃

These biscuits have become a bit of a clinic tradition, and now we’re sharing the recipe so you can make them at home for your own furry family members. 🐶❤️

🛒 What You’ll Need

✔ Mixing bowl
✔ Spoon or spatula
✔ Rolling pin
✔ Cookie cutters (seasonal shapes make them extra fun!)
✔ Baking tray
✔ Oven

🦴 Ingredients

• 200g plain flour
• 100g rolled oats
• 80g peanut butter (always check the label and never use sugar-free peanut butter, as some contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs)
• 30g honey 🍯
• 100ml water (you may need a little extra to achieve the right dough consistency)
• 1 x Rafferty’s Garden 4+ months squeeze pouch in one of the following flavours:

* Blueberry, Banana & Apple 🍎🍌🫐
* Pumpkin 🎃
* Spinach, Apple, Broccoli & Pea 🥦🍏

👩‍🍳 Method

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2️⃣ Combine the flour, oats, peanut butter, honey, water, and squeeze pouch in a mixing bowl.
3️⃣ Mix well, then knead into a dough. Add a little extra water if needed.
4️⃣ Roll out the dough using a rolling pin.
5️⃣ Cut out your favourite shapes using cookie cutters.
6️⃣ Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
7️⃣ Bake for 5–15 minutes, depending on your oven and how crunchy you’d like the biscuits.
8️⃣ Allow to cool completely before decorating.

🎨 Optional Doggy-Friendly Decorations

🐾 Melted yoghurt drops
🐾 Dog-friendly carob
🐾 A light drizzle of peanut butter

🧊 Storage

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

💡 Nurse Amanda’s Tip: These are my go-to recipe for the Christmas, Easter, and Halloween cookies we make here at the clinic! They’re easy to make, budget-friendly, and the dogs absolutely love them. Try using festive cookie cutters to make them extra special. 🎄🐰🎃

📸 We’d love to see your baking creations! Share a photo of your pup enjoying their homemade biscuits in the comments below.

🐶 Question of the day: What flavour do you think your dog would choose—Pumpkin 🎃, Blueberry Banana Apple 🫐🍌🍎, or Spinach Apple Broccoli Pea 🥦🍏?

Please remember treats should be fed in moderation and any ingredients used should be appropriate for your individual pet. Always avoid sugar-free peanut butter, as xylitol can be fatal to dogs. ❤️

Walkies that make a difference.

50KM DOG WALK FOR CANCER!

Grab the leash, lace up, and let's get those tails wagging for a great cause.

This June, the Cancer Council’s is doing walk 50km in the month of June for the almost 1 in 2 Australians impacted by cancer by age 85.

Aura Veterinary Hospital isn’t affiliated with the Cancer Council but we thought some of the clients may like to either take up the challenge of walking 50km in a month, with there pets by their side.
If anyone would like to sign up and raise funds for the cause, we will put the link in the comments.

🎉🐾 Happy 4th Birthday, Benson! 🐾🎉

This week we’re celebrating one of our favourite Golden Retrievers, the very handsome Benson, who is turning 4 years old! 🎂💛

If you’ve spent any time following our page, there’s a good chance you’ve already met Benson. This superstar has helped us out on numerous occasions by posing for photos and videos, and he always steals the show with his gorgeous smile and happy-go-lucky personality! 📸✨

When Benson isn’t busy being a model, you’ll usually find him doing what he loves most:

🏊‍♂️ Swimming – if there’s water nearby, Benson is in it!

🍖 Searching for snacks – food is life according to Benson. In fact, he may affectionately be known as a professional scavenger, always on the lookout for a sneaky treat.

🐾 Going for walks – although “walk” may be a generous term. Benson’s adventures often include regular rest stops where he dramatically flops onto the ground or rolls upside down, demanding belly rubs from anyone willing to oblige! 😂❤️

🛏️ Relaxing in his favourite plush bed – every king needs a throne, and Benson’s is a giant fluffy bed perfectly positioned to overlook the house. From this vantage point, he can keep a watchful eye on his kingdom, supervise household activities, and ensure no snack-related opportunities are missed. 👑🐶

One of our favourite things about Benson is how excited he is to visit the clinic. He comes through the doors with a wagging tail, a big smile, and enough enthusiasm to brighten everyone’s day. It’s always a pleasure to see him.

Please join us in wishing this lovable, treat-seeking, belly-rub-loving, kingdom-surveying water enthusiast a very happy birthday! 🎂🎁🎉

Happy 4th Birthday, Benson! We hope your day is filled with swims, snacks, belly scratches, and all the love you deserve. 💛🐾

🐶🎉💛👑

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday Mark! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of our wonderful team members, Mark! 🥳🐾

Growing up surrounded by them as the son of Annabel and Sebastian, he spent much of his childhood helping in the family clinic and learning firsthand about caring for animals. That early passion has grown into a genuine love for animal welfare and shines through in everything he does.

Since joining the Aura family, Mark has become an incredibly valued part of our team. With years of hands-on experience, a relaxed and easy-going nature, and a personality that keeps us all smiling, he brings so much positivity to every day.

Whether he’s lending a hand to our nursing team, helping our vets, stepping in wherever needed, or brightening the clinic with his endless supply of jokes (seriously… where does he find them all?! 😂), Mark is always there for the team.

Mark, thank you for your dedication, your kindness, your willingness to always help others, and for bringing such a fun and positive energy to the clinic every day. We appreciate everything you do and are lucky to have you as part of the Aura family.

Please join us in wishing Mark a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎈🎁🎉💙🐾
