With all the information available about dog food that isn't healthy, you, like most people are probably looking for natural alternatives for your pooch. There are tons of recipes for homemade dog treats that are made with completely natural ingredients and are actually healthy for the fido in your life. Another perk of making your own dog biscuits is that since the ingredients in these are usually already in your home, you can save money too, which is great since most people are cutting back on household expenses.
Homemade Gourmet Dog Biscuit Recipe
- 12-16oz raw liver,
- 1 1/2 lbs white or whole wheat flour,
- 8oz Quaker oats,
- 3 bouillion cubes (beef or chicken),
- Appoximately 1 cup of water,
- 2 beaten eggs
Preheat your oven to 350 and grease about three baking pans, use a food processor to chop the liver finely, or you can do it by hand. Mix the flour and oats together in a bowl, crumble the bouillion cubes, add the chopped liver and eggs, then add enough water (approx 1 cup) to make the dough firm and slightly sticky. Spread the biscuit dough out with a rolling pin until it is about an inch thick, then you can use a cookie cutter dipped in flour to cut out your biscuits. Bake your treats for an hour then put them into an airtight container and refridgerate them for about two weeks. Your dog can enjoy these anytime after they have cooled, they have to be refrigerated because of the liver that is used to make them.
