Homemade Dog Treat Recipes

[Justicemom]

I was so excited to see this thread. I was reading about the different treats people made for their dogs and was going to start a thread asking for recipes. I guess great minds think alike.

You can buy brown rice flour. They make it for people with wheat and gluten allergies

Thanks for that information. I wasn't sure what type of flour I could substitute. I was thinking rice or rye but *shrugs*

I have a link to a site with a lot of yummy sounding recipes. I'll have to post it when I get home on Monday. (Traveling this weekend; in Chicago until Monday morning.)

I tried the Banana Mutt Cookies today. Smudge loved them! I tried one and spit it back out.

Hey, Jessica!

Just a suggestion - given Smudges delicate tummy at the moment, you may want to hold off on other foods. I don't think it's going to help to get his digestive settled. Just a thought!

I went into town Thursday and found a set of Christmas cookie cutters for $3 and abone shaped polka dot tin for also about $3. So I did a test run tonight in the kitchen to see how the Banana Mutt Cookies would look like in shapes. I added a bit more oats than was called for, a little less banana than it called for. I also cooked them for a splash longer. I was trying them out, because this is what I'm giving my grandmother's dog for Christmas. I'm going to put them in the tin.

By the way, the reason I used more oats is because I was afraid it would have been too runny to use with the cookie cutters otherwise. To get the shapes I placed different cookies cutters onto the pan. Then I scooped out the mutt mix and packed it inside the cutter. Once I had some packed in, I lifted the cutter up.

I had made candy canes and snowmen as well, but those turned out terrible. The candy cane shapes are almost impossible to get off the pan without breaking because they are so long and thin.

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuit (original recipe from Sacramento & Co.)

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk (I used 2%)

Mix dry ingredients. Mix milk and peanut butter, separately. Combine. Roll out to 1/4" thickness and cut shapes. Prepare cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Bake at 385 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cool and store airtight in the refrigerator. Best if allowed to come to room temp first.

And if you dribble honey on them, they're great for people, too!!

We made these for Nellie & jake's 1st birthday party. THEY LOVED THEM!!!!!!!!! I didn't like the taste......but they did. Thanks!
