Homemade Dog Biscuits Dog Food Recipes

By Juliette Crane


The best homemade dog biscuits are not those found in your supermarket, or even the pet store. Some of them may have the word "homemade" to entice you, but of course, homemade dog biscuits can really only be made in one place - in your home! And the best part is that they are pretty easy to make too. Here are some excellent dog food recipes you can try at home today.

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 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of oil with 1 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 making a batch of delicious oatmeal snacks? Take a bowl and combine half a cup of whole wheat flour, a teaspoon of baking soda, 3 cups of oatmeal and 2 tablespoons of honey. Add 2 egg yolks and a cup of ice water. Make sure that the resulting mixture is smooth and lump free. After baking for 15 minutes in 350 F, let cool in the wire rack and cut up in cookie sized treats for your pet.

Do you have perhaps a more mature dog with a weaker set of teeth on them? This doesn't mean they can?t have tasty treats. Here is a recipe for chewy cookies perfect for these wizened fellows. Blend 1 cup dry milk powder, 1 cup wheat germ with 2 ? oz jars of baby food (chicken or beef flavored is fine). Roll out to make little balls and spread onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.

Liver sounds less than appetizing for us but actually, this is a great treat to give to canines. Not only is it cost efficient, it is fairly easy to make. Chop and mash 1 lb of liver and combine it with 2 cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of flour and 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Spread this onto a grease lined tray and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. When done, cool in a wire rack before cutting in cubes and storing for your dog's quick noshes.

If you are knowledgeable about baking, be creative and throw in ingredients you think will fare well with your pet. Apple, carrots and parsley are terrific items that are tasty and healthy at the same time. As you create your own dog food recipes, look up the food that will prove to be hazardous to canines such as chocolates, onion, grapes and most nuts.

Great homemade dog biscuits are not as complicated as you thought was it? It's usually just putting together some ingredients and baking them until fit to be eaten. Now you are armed with several mouth watering dog treats, there is no excuse not to have a loving and happy pet waiting to welcome you home.
