About Homemade Dog Treats
Making dog treats at home can be fun for you and your children. Because each pet may have special needs make sure to review each recipe to insure it is appropriate for your pet. Remember these are treat recipes not "dog food" so they should not be used in excess.
Shapes And Cutters
Cookie cutters are available in countless shapes, sizes and themes. Make treats that are suitable for the size of your pooch. If you prefer to not buy cookie cutters you can use the open end of a juice can, a small glass or or a biscuit cutter if you have one.
Ingredients
One of the benefits of making your own treats is that you can control the quality of what goes in the treats. We suggest using the same quality products as you would if you were making food for yourself. For example use natural peanut butter rather than products with a lot of added sugar. Use organic flours and meals if they are available to you.
Instructions
Step 1Mix the first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Then add the flour a bit at a time and keep mixing. You can do this by hand. You don't need a mixer.
Step 2 When you have a thick dough, just plop it onto a floured board or counter top. Roll out the dough until it's about 1/2 inch thck. No rolling pin? Use a hard plastic cup or a very strong glass jar like a pickle jar. Works just fine!
Step 3 Now start cutting out the bones! You can use a bone shaped cookie cutter or any shape cookie cutter or just cut into strips or squares or triangles. Your pet will love any shape!
Step 4 Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes and let them cool. Store them in a paper bag or in an old cereal box so they do not build up moisture and will stay rock hard. Humans can eat these too... if you have strong teeth!
