How To Make Homemade Dog Treats
We humans are very fond of getting the odd treat now and again, especially when we feel we have been especially good or done something really well.
It shouldn't really be a surprise that our pooch pals feel the exact same.
With that in mind making a special dog treat for fido should be on our to do list.
The pet supplies store are full of off the shelve dog treats that we can just scoop up and head for the checkout.
The other option is to make one at home from a dog treat recipe.
I have yet to come across any breed of dog that didn't love a treat and even more so when it's home-made.
All we need to do is Google "homemade dog cookies," and hundreds of easy to follow suggestions are there to choose from.
To be on the safe side I always check all ingredients from dog treat recipes that I find online, that way I feel 100% secure that everything in it is safe for my dog.
My German Shepherd Alfie loves all of the treats I make for him, but there's no doubt that this treat is his no1 choice.
Alfie's No1 favorite - Cheesy Dog Biscuit Treats Ingredients: * One cup rolled oats (something like Quaker) * One third (1/3) cup margarine * One cup water/boiling * Three quarters (3/4) cup corn-meal One * One tablespoon sugar * Two (2) teaspoons beef or chicken stock (instant bouillon) * Milk1/2 cup * One (1) cup grated/shredded cheddar cheese * One (1) egg, beaten * Two to Three (2 - 3) cups whole wheat flour Ingredients at the ready, lets get baking.
Make sure the oven is preheated at 325 degrees then its time to grease the cookie sheets.
Combine the margarine, rolled oats and boiling water in a large mixing bowl and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Then add the sugar, bouillon, cheese, milk, egg and corn-meal and mix together.
Gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and begin to add the flour one cup at a time, mixing well before adding the next.
You will know its well mixed when the ingredients form a stiff dough.
Flour a flat surface and use it to knead the remaining flour into the dough.
It is ready once it is of a smooth consistency and loses its stickiness.
Next smooth the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick layer either by pressing or rolling it flat and even.
Use cookie cutters in the shape of a dog-bone to cut.
Put shapes on pre-greased cookie sheets approx 1 inch apart.
Place the shapes into the oven at 325 degrees for maybe 35-45 mins or when they are a delicious golden brown color.
With homemade dog treat aplenty your favorite canine will be happily chomping for days to come.
Are they really better than the dog treats you can buy at the pet supply store? I dunno, let your dog have the final woof!
