Great Homemade Dog Biscuits That Will Have Fido at Your Beck And Call

By Geraldine Dimarco


Want to know how to literally get your dog eating out of the palm of your hand? The secret is scrumptious homemade dog biscuits made with careful preparation and love. If you're thinking this is way too much trouble to bother making, think again. With these easy to follow dog food recipes, you will be a doggie connoisseur before you can say, Good boy!

I don't know if you know this but pooches just love the taste of peanut butter. I have often been bewildered with the many intricacies of the baking world but this recipe is fool-proof, even for me. Combine 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, I cup milk, 2Tbsps of honey and 2 Tbsps of oil with 1/2 cup of smooth and creamy peanut butter. Blend the mixture well and scoop into bite sized treats onto cookie sheets. Bake them for 20 minutes in 350 F and you have yourself the keys to Fido's heart.

How about some delicious oatmeal chews? Combine 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 3 cups of oatmeal and 2 Tbsps of honey. Add in 2 egg yolks and a cup of cold water, making sure the batter is smooth without any lumps in it. Bake for 15 minutes in 350 F. Cool the treats and cut into cookie sizes you can bag and feed your pet anytime.

For older dogs with a less than sturdy set of teeth, you can serve them these soft cookies as snacks. In a bowl, mix cup dry milk powder, cup wheat germ and 2 oz jars of flavored baby food thoroughly. Roll into coin sized mounds and bake in a pre heated oven for 15 minutes at 350 F. After cooling, you can serve as snack or refrigerate for future use.

We cringe when we have liver in our dinner plate but this is actually a great treat for canines. It's economical and really easy to make. All you need to do is to simply combine 1 lb liver (chopped and pureed) with 2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup of flour and 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Roll out onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes in 350 F. When done and sufficiently cooled, cut in small squares for quick snacking.

If you know how to bake, you can switch up some ingredients to make it interesting for your pet. Use apple, carrots, parsley or other pieces of meat. Make sure when you come up with your own dog food recipes that you research on the food that are harmful to canines. Some of these include chocolate, onion, grapes and most nuts. Too much liver is also harmful to them.

Now wasn't that easy? Basically, we just learned how to put together some ingredients and prepare them in the simplest way possible. Not only that these are some of the yummiest treats there are. Polly can have her cracker; Fido will take his delicious homemade dog biscuits any day.
