130 Fabulous Recipes for your Dog
Nothing makes you warm inside like making treats or biscuits for your dog from scratch! My dogs look forward to the home made dog biscuits they know grandma will be baking them every Christmas. Having complete control over the food and treats your dog eats is such a great feeling. You can fill their meals, treats and other cool dog foods with wholesome, fresh ingredients when you make them yourself.
Below are a few of my little guys favorite recipes, and if you want to get the whole cookbook containing 130 recipes for your dog... We want you to have it! You can view or download the entire PDF dog recipe book as our gift to you.
Chicken Flavored Dog Biscuits
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt -- optional
1 egg
1 cup chicken broth -- slightly warmed
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour -- optional
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup cracked wheat
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, one beaten
egg, and the warmed chicken broth. Add all flour except the allpurpose
flour and mix well. Slowly add all-purpose flour until a stiff
dough is formed and it can be kneaded by hand. Knead for only a
couple minutes, just enough to get the dough to hold together.Roll out
dough about 1/4" thick and cut with cookie cutters, Place biscuits on a
large cookie tray and place directly in a 300 degree oven, they don't
need to rise. Bake for 45 min. and then turn off the oven. You can let
them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning they will be real
hard and good for your dog's teeth. You could also vary this recipe by
adding milk for a milk-bone type biscuit or shortening for a little extra
fat. Try different liquids and even honey or molasses, Check with your
veterinarian for any other nutritional suggestions.
