Homemade Doggie Treats

[Anakalia]

I thought I'd start a new thread and we can all put treat recipes here that we make and our dogs love!  I'm always up for trying out new recipes!  Here's some that I make for Koby.  Also if you know your dog is allergic to wheat and a recipe calls for wheat flour what I do is put oatmeal in my food processor and process it til it looks like flour and use that instead of the wheat.

Thanks for the great post I have often wanted to try making Harley his own biscuits but didn't know where to begin - I also received one of the just add water kits from my neighbor for the holiday but I haven't made it yet.

I look forward to the cake recipe so I can make that for Harley's birthday (in September)

THis is a great thread.  I have a book called "Tasty Treats for Demanding Dogs".  It's got great recipes in it and so far my three have loved them all.  I added in some amaranth flour in place of wheat flour in case of allergies.  But the ones that they seemed to like the best so far are:

Animal-shelter Puppy Treats

2/3 c wheat germ
1/4c nonfat dry milk
2 4oz jars of beef or chicken flavored baby food

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients to a soft dough and pinch off small pieces and roll into a ball shape.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with a fork.  Back for 25-30 minutes and allow to air dry for at least 3 hours.

I think we may have gotten those (christmas present), came in a maroon (ish) tin with a little gold cookie cutter? I added smushed banana in with the mix (He LOVES banana) and they turned out pretty good.

Those aren't bad to eat yourself, either.  Not that I sampled one or anything.  I'm just saying ... 

HAHAHAHAHAA!!  Well I'll admitt it I tried one!  They smelled so good coming out of the oven I HAD too, very peanut buttery. 

[Anakalia]

Ooooh!!  I need to make those.  They even look easy to ME!  Then again, just having some show up in the mail from Aunt Adni would me MUCH easier!!
