Healthy Home Made Dog Biscuits

 

It is Saturday morning and you are doing some errands around the house and are tired of hearing what is in dog food and biscuits these days.  I do not blame you at all.  I have a few recipes for you that are low fat, and healthy for your dog to eat as a treat, or for doing a good deed.   Actually the recipes are low in fat, and you can even nibble on one also, they are that tasty.

Some flour and ingredients can be found in the bulk bins at stores as well as cookie cutters in shapes such as a bone, or dog, or whatever you wish.

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 cup dry milk powder

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon  molasses

2 vegetable bouillon cubes; dissolved in

3/4 cup boiling water

1/2 cup carrots steamed and mashed.

1 egg

 

Preheat oven to 300F. Mix all ingredients into a ball and roll out to about 1/4″ thick. Cut with bone-shaped cookie cutter, or strips, or a cutter shape of your own choice. Place on un greased cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes at 300F.

 

Sunflower Treat Cookie

 

2 cups whole wheat flour

2/3 cups cornmeal

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup salt-free vegetable broth

1/2 cup rice milk

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and seeds.

Add oil, broth, and rice milk.

Canine Cookies with Carrots

 

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

1/2 cup wheat germ

6 tablespoons oil

Egg Replacer product, equivalent to 1 egg or 1 omega Egg.

1 teaspoon molasses

1 cup lightly steamed cooked carrots, mashed. 

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and wheat germ.

In another bowl, mix oil, egg replacer, molasses, and carrots.

Add wet ingredients to dry and stir.  The added beta carotene is not affected

by baking and is a powerful anti-oxident.

Smush each ball with a fork, your thumb or cookie stamp.

Bake at 325 till crunchy.  Store in refrigerator.

In a separate bowl, combine water, oil, and garlic.

Stir wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir.

Knead and roll out onto floured surface.

Roll to 1/4″ thickness and cut carefully with cookie cutters (dough will be somewhat delicate before baking.)

Place on greased cookie sheets and bake for 20 minutes.

You can make these cookies in large batches and store in air tight container  either in the refrigerator or freezer, for at least a months supply. 

 

Knowing what is in dog biscuits that you made yourself should make you feel good that your dog is not getting unhealthy ingredients and actually promote good health.
