Home made dog biscuits

 

 

We love our three pooches.  We spoil our animals, all of our animals including our 3 horses. Friends gave us this sign which pretty much says it all...

 

 

 

In early September we lost our 7 year old boy, Tiberius, to cancer.  During his illness I started to research dog diets and food and I was perturbed to learn in Canada there are no governmental regulations pertaining to dog food manufacturing.  The manufacturers do not have to list ingredients on their products. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/consumers/pet-food-law.html.

So I decided to make my own doggie treats.  I've experimented with lots of ingredients and found the one that has the best texture and stores well is liver.

 

 

The Recipe (I use the word recipe loosely):

 

 

Put raw chicken or beef liver into a food processer...

 

 

 

...and puree.  Add a little water,an egg and blend...

 

 

 

 

Pour the liver into a mixer, add flour, a tsp of baking powder, and mix.  Hubbie complains of the smell when these are baking so I put a couple of tbsp of herbs de provence to mask the cooking odor...

 



 

 

Add flour until it's the consistency of cake batter then pour the mixture onto a cookie sheet...

 

 

 

...spread it evenly and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes...

 

It's easier to cut when the dough is still warm, use a pizza cutter to slice it into lenghts...

 

 

...throw the treats back into a low oven, about 200, and bake for another 15 minutes to dry them out.  Treats must be kept in the fridge, I make a large batch and freeze half.

 

 

Your dogs will love them.
