: homemade dog treats
: Scootergirl October 19, 2005, 11:34:59 PM
Our Humane Society has a booth twice a year at a local craft show where we sell homemade dog and cat treats. While researching recipes for new treats we could sell, I ran across this site:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1011/dog.htm#snicker

with tons of great suggestions. (It also has newfs at the top of the page!).

What are your favorite homemade dog treat recipes??

Thank you so much for that link!!  I'm saving it in my favorites.  I figure one day I'll get the courage to try baking again, and I would love to try baking doggie treats! ;D

I got the link to work. Just so you know.Thanks for the post. I swear if I start baking for the dogs my hubby will go nuts. He already thinks I feed the dogs better than the rest of us. :D.

Hheheeeee!!  I just got a really good idea.  I'm gonna bake some doggie treats and tell Tony I made cookies.  He'll be so excited he just might eat some before I tell him they're for the dogs!   :o  OK.... maybe not.... that's not nice, I know!

Here's one that I make all the time for my dogs.  Have also sold them at craft fairs, and they go fast!
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 350
Combine flour & baking powder; in a separate bowl, combine peanut butter & milk; mix wet ingred. w/ dry ingred. and knead together.  Roll out to 1/4" thick. Cut w/ cookie cutter (I use bone-shape), bake for 10-15 min.
I make these for all my human family's dogs at Christmas.  So simple, and the dogs love them.  PS you can underbake them for a couple of minutes and they wont be as crunchy--good for those older small dogs with shakey teeth!

I'm sooo excited, I'm going to try to make doggie treats!!!  I've decided nothing I bake for human consumption turns out right, so I'm going to try to bake for my doggies instead!  Wish me luck......I bet my furbabies won't complain! hehehe ;D

Well, since you brought this up again, I thought I would brag a little - our craft show booth made over $1000 with our homemade dog and cat treats - among other things!!!  We had a couple people come by that said, "this is the only booth I look forward to anymore!"
