DOG TREATS

  • 1 cup of chicken livers
  • 2 eggs

Soft chewy brownies that are completely healthy. Great for dogs with allergies to wheat or corn. 
Prep Time: 15 
Cook Time: 15 
Temperature: 325F - 165C 

Cooking Directions: Put all ingredients except flaxseed in food processor (or blender) and puree for about 2 minutes, slowly add the flaxseed. The mixture will be like cake batter. Spread evenly in an un-greased cookie sheet with sides, it should be about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until moist but springy to the touch in a 350F (165C) degree oven. Cool and cut into 1½" x 1½" squares. 
Tips: They freeze well, but probably won't last long enough for you to even bother! Should be kept in refrigerator though. The nutritional value in this recipe is perfect for dogs. The chicken hearts are loaded with protein, and the liver is high in iron and adds flavour. The garlic is a natural flea preventative, and the Lecithin eliminates tear stains. The Glucosamine helps regenerate cartilage and bone (perfect for either an aging or young dog), and the eggs promote a healthy and shiny coat.

Chicken-Flavoured Dog Biscuits
  • 2½ tsp Dry yeast 
  • ¼ cup Warm water, (105-110deg. F.) 
  • 1 x Egg
  • 1 cup Chicken broth, slightly warmed 
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cup Rye Flour, optional 
  • ½ cup Cornmeal 
  • 1 cup Cracked Wheat 
  • 1½ cup All-purpose Flour

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add one beaten egg, and the warmed chicken broth. Add all flour except the all-purpose flour and mix well. Slowly add all-purpose flour till a stiff dough is formed and it can be kneaded by hand. Knead for only a couple minutes, just enough to get the dough to hold together. Roll out dough about ¼" thick and cut with cookie cutters. Place biscuits on a large cookie tray and place directly in a 300 deg. F. oven, they don't need to rise. Bake for 45 min. and then turn off the oven. You can let them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning they will be real hard and good for your dog's teeth.
You could also vary this recipe by adding milk for a milk-bone type biscuit or shortening for a little extra fat. Try different liquids and even honey or molasses. Check with your veterinarian for any other nutritional suggestions.
