We love our pets so much that we give them special treats especially if they are behaving so well! But don’t you just hate buying those dog biscuits that you have no idea what they are made of? Don’t fret pet lovers. Here’s a healthy and simple recipe, courtesy of my doglover friend Shawn Ulmsted, which will make your furry friends sit up and ask for more!
You will need:
1 Cup Instant Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Margarine
1 Tsp Beef or Chicken flavor
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Cup Hot Water
3/4 Cup Cornmeal
1 Egg
3 Cups Whole wheat Flour
3/4 cup Powder milk or Milk
1/2 Cup shredded Cheese
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 325C.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl except for the whole wheat flour.
3. Mix all wet ingredients in another bowl.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. Add the whole wheat flour 1/2 cup at a time stirring thoroughly after each cup until it reaches the consistency of cookie dough. Not all wheat flour may be used or a little more might be needed to make right consistency. Use your hands to knead the dough.
6. Roll the dough out on rolling surface. Place a piece of wax paper down for easy clean up. Roll dough out till 1/2 - 1/3 inch thickness.
7. Cut the dough using a knife or cookie cutters. Remember the size of your pet when cutting the cookies.
8. Place the treats on a cookie sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes on 325c. Treats are done when they slide off the sheet. Lay on a cookie rack to cool and store on air tight containers.
These treats are not just for dogs, cats love them as well. But always remember that these treats should never be substituted for real meals.
