Pet Treats
This is the biscuit recipe I sent Cedric.
Dog Biscuits
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 T. wheat germ
1 tsp. low salt bouillon powder or paste
1/2 cup bacon fat or oil
1 egg
1/2 cup water
Mix to a dough and roll out about 1/4" thick. Cut as desired. Bake at 350 for
25-30 minutes. Turn off oven and leave in oven until cool.
I haven't made these yet but they sound good.
Cat Treats
7 oz. mashed sardines
1/4 cup dried milk
1/2 cup wheat germ
Roll into 24 little balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Back at 350
until browned.

DH said he didn't mind cooking for the dog, but I have to do the sardines!
Thanks, Marianne! Can't wait to do these.

Re: Pet Treats
I like sardines. We actually had sardines on toast for lunch today. It's one of our cold day lunches. Then soup for dinner. And the flannel sheets are on the bed-two weeks earlier than normal-welcome to Fall!!
Oops, this is a Pet Treat post, got a little carried away there!

Sounds a little Fishy to me!
Re: Pet Treats
I dunno about the cool weather - I'm still barefooted and in shorts. DH is jonesing for chili beans, and I'm sitting under the fan, so cool weather better come on soon.
Re: Pet Treats
If your DH gets his chili beans you better be up wind from the Fan!
Re: Pet Treats
Amen! Him and Cedric both!

Re: Pet Treats
So would you treat these dog treats like home made cookies, where they are good for just a couple of days? Or do they have a longer shelf life?

Re: Pet Treats
Because they are so dried out in the oven after baking, they last very well in an airtight jar or tin for quite awhile. I think I used to put half the batch in the freezer and half in a tin to use first as I only gave the dog one a day or every other day as a treat.pat-czap wrote:So would you treat these dog treats like home made cookies, where they are good for just a couple of days?

Re: Pet Treats
I finally made the cat treats last month. They got four paws down from Honey. I took them over to a friend's cat and while she liked the smell she also gave them 4 paws down. Even my friend's husband spit one out when he realized it might not be a treat for him. So that is two hands down from a human. So the treats went off to some barn cats who I was assured would eat anything.
Not sure I would recommend them now. I wish I had tried one.

Re: Pet Treats
My cats like sardines but seem to prefer chewy treats. Which generally means my fingers.
