Homemade Doggie Treats
This is a new recipe I created and get asked a lot for
1/2 small 24oz bag Red Mill whole wheat flour **
1/2 small 24oz bag of oat flour **
2 large eggs
1/4 c olive oil
1 -2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
dried parsley
garlic powder
for beef biscuits I use 1 lb boiled stew meat trimmed of fat. For chicken I use
4 whole boneless, skinless boiled chicken breats SAVE THE BROTH
I throw the meat in a blender or food processor and chop the heck outta the
meat. I mix all other ingrediants with the mneat, minus the olive oil and add
broth till mixture can be rolled out like cookies. I then add olive oil and mix
it well. If dough is too moist I just add a little more of the flours. I then
spread out to about 1/4 inch thickness on floured surface and cut and bake. I
bake at 325° and check frequently until the biscuits are hard. I then cool and
make sure biscuits are crunchy. If they are still too soft I bake a little
longer
**For some batches I use rice flour, soy flour, or add some flaxseed flour
instead. Some of my puppers at time get constipated and the flaxseed flour helps
this. My sons dog is allergic to certain flours so I use soy and rice flour for
those. If your dogs have a sensitivity to dairy I omit the cheeses (my sons dog)
You can add other things if you like ( I will add shredded carrots or fresh
chopped green beans), and I will do that and just make sure the dough is easy to
roll out.
Here are some easy-to-make treats, sure to delight a canine buddy. Made with cheese (a favorite flavor among canines) and garlic (which is a natural flea repellent), they'll quickly become your dog's favorite, paws down.
To make a batch, combine these ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 pound of softened corn oil margarine
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 crushed garlic clove
Mix well. Add enough milk to form the dough into a ball, then cover the ball with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. On a floured board, roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out bone shapes and bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly brown and firm. Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.
