Doggie Biscuit Recipe

[shais_mom]

Keegan is so picky with her treats, but I have found this recipe that she really likes.
Here is the recipe:


Baby Food Soft Doggie Cookies

3 jars of baby food (chicken or beef) 2 1/2 oz each
1/4 c dry milk powder
1/4 wheat germ (cream of wheat can be substituted)
Combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Roll into small balls and place on well greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake in preheated 350 degrees (F) oven for 15 min until brown. Cool on wire racks and STORE IN REFRIGERATOR. Also freezes well.
Variation:
subsitute cream of wheat for wheat germ and then used tablespoon to make cookie sized drops on plate.Microwave for 4 min on Med High. Suggest keeping an eye on them in Microwave and perhaps start out for only 3 1/2 min They do come soft. Also suggest using Beef/Veg Dinner Baby dinner instead of beef or chicken.
***good for older pets who have lost a few teeth***

Keegan loves these, I have trouble finding plain chicken and beef baby food so I use any kind of baby food that has meat in it.
I also use the cream of wheat.
They are so simple!

Thanks!!! Awhile ago I posted that I got a cookbook for dog treats. I haven't tried them yet, but most of them are pretty similar to the one you have. There are even dessert treats!! Most of the proceeds of the sale of the books go to animal shelters. I think a friend of mine and I are going to bake a bunch of treats next weekend for the SPCA using that cookbook.

Ooooh, That sounds like a treat Drake would like. Drake is picky and has been getting the same kind of treat for over a year now. I think he would like a variation.

Mugsy, could you post a few more recipes from the book? I would love to make some and take them to the shelter I voluteer at. It makes me so sad to see these dogs without a home for the holidays. I want to make them something special.

Me too! What a great idea!! I'm a terrible cook however. Maybe I should spare the poor animals!! I just went to a local variety store (wal-mart-type store) last night an purchased a bunch of blankets to take over to the SPCA. I went a little overboard because they were on sale so I splurged and bought about 10 of them! Mind you, I'm making my family's gifts since money is tight this year but I spend $70 on blankets..?! That's OK. They understand and would do the same thing! :D

That is very kind of you Jenni. I know the doggies will appreciate the warm blankets.
