Homemade Dog Biscuits Your Dog Will Go Nuts For

By Juliette Crane


The best homemade dog biscuits are not those found in your supermarket, or even the pet store. Some of them may have the word "homemade" to entice you, but of course, homemade dog biscuits can really only be made in one place - in your home! And the best part is that they are pretty easy to make too. Here are some excellent dog food recipes you can try at home today.

I don't know if you know this but pooches just love the taste of peanut butter. I have often been bewildered with the many intricacies of the baking world but this recipe is fool proof, even for me. Combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of oil with 1 cup of smooth and creamy peanut butter. Blend the mixture well and scoop into bite sized treats onto cookie sheets. Bake them for 20 minutes in 350 F and you have yourself the keys to Fido's heart.

How about making a batch of delicious oatmeal snacks? Take a bowl and combine half a cup of whole wheat flour, a teaspoon of baking soda, 3 cups of oatmeal and 2 tablespoons of honey. Add 2 egg yolks and a cup of ice water. Make sure that the resulting mixture is smooth and lump free. After baking for 15 minutes in 350 F, let cool in the wire rack and cut up in cookie sized treats for your pet.

Do you have perhaps a more mature dog with a weaker set of teeth on them? This doesn't mean they can?t have tasty treats. Here is a recipe for chewy cookies perfect for these wizened fellows. Blend 1 cup dry milk powder, 1 cup wheat germ with 2 ? oz jars of baby food (chicken or beef flavored is fine). Roll out to make little balls and spread onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.

Liver doesn't always sound like it should belong on our dinner plates but for canines; these are acceptable and great treats you can give. Chop and puree 1 lb of liver and blend this with 2 cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of flour and a dash of salt. Roll the mixture onto a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes in 350 F heat. After cooling, cut these up in small pieces and keep for reserved dog snacks.

If you are familiar with baking, feel free to change the ingredients to those that you know will appeal to your dog better. How about using apples, carrots and parsley for healthier options? Do the necessary research before coming up with your own dog food recipes though there are many ingredients that are harmful to canines when ingested. Examples of these are chocolate, onions, grapes and nuts.

Putting together amazing homemade dog biscuits wasn't too difficult now was it? All it takes is a teachable owner with a great love for his pet. Now that you have read and are armed with these delicious doggie treats, commence the baking! Never was there a man's best friend luckier than your Fido today.
