Dog Treat Recipes

Store in the refrigerator or in the freezer as these can go moldy if left at room temperature for very long.

1 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup margarine or butter

1 cup boiling water

2 3/4 cup flour

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons chicken or beef instant bouillon

1/2 cup milk

4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup)

1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl combine rolled oats, margarine and water; let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in flour, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg. Mix well. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form stiff dough.

On floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Store loosely covered. Makes 3 1/2 dozen large biscuits

Super Simple Chunky Peanut Dog Treats

Natural peanut butter does not contain hydrogenated oil or sugar so it makes a more healthful treat for your pup.

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup chunky natural peanut butter
1 cup non fat milk

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl, combine flour and baking powder.  Use another bowl and combine the peanut butter and milk. Add the milk and peanut butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. On floured surface, turn out the knead.  Roll out to 1/4" thick. Cut out using cookie cutters.

Place on baking sheets and bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.  Place on racks to cool then store in airtight containers.

1 cup flour

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon garlic powder (not garlic salt!)

1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine

1/2 cup milk

Mix flour and cheese together. Add garlic powder and softened butter. Slowly add milk till you form a stiff dough. You may not need all of the milk. Knead on floured board for a few minutes. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 350 degrees oven for 15 minutes. Let cool in oven with the door slightly open till cold and firm. Refrigerate to keep fresh.
