The pet supplies store are full of off the shelve dog treats that we can just scoop up and head for the checkout. The other option is to make one at home from a dog treat recipe.
In all my time having dogs as pets I have yet to own a pooch that didn't adore a dog treat, even more so if it was homemade. Its not difficult, and there are 100s of dog treat recipes available just by doing a search on the web.
It's probably best just to double-check the ingredients from any online dog treat recipe that you decide to use to ensure their is nothing in it that could harm your Pet. I've never had a problem using them but always better to err on the side of caution.
I have loads of doggy treat recipes but without doubt this one is my German Shepherd Alfie's absolute favorite.
Cheesy Dog Cookies - Ingredients:
* One cup rolled oats (something like Quaker) * One third (1/3) cup margarine * One cup water/boiling * Three quarters (3/4) cup corn-meal One * One tablespoon sugar * Two (2) teaspoons beef or chicken stock (instant bouillon) * Milk 1/2 cup * One (1) cup grated/shredded cheddar cheese * One (1) egg, beaten * Two to Three (2 - 3) cups whole wheat flour
Ingredients assembled, now onto the good part.
With the oven preheated at 325 degrees we move on to greasing the cookie sheets.
Combine the margarine, rolled oats and boiling water in a large mixing bowl and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Then add the sugar, bouillon, cheese, milk, egg and corn-meal and mix together. Gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and begin to add the flour one cup at a time, mixing well before adding the next. You will know its well mixed when the ingredients form a stiff dough. Flour a flat surface and use it to knead the remaining flour into the dough. It is ready once it is of a smooth consistency and loses its stickiness. Next smooth the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick layer either by pressing or rolling it flat and even.
Bone shaped cookie cutters are nice touch to cut with. Next put the cut-out shapes onto greased cookie sheets roughly an inch apart and place into the oven at 325 for around 35-45 mins or when they have gone an inviting golden brown color.
With homemade dog treat aplenty your favorite canine will be happily chomping for days to come. Are they really better than the dog treats you can buy at the pet supply store? I dunno, let your dog have the final woof!
Sound too hard or time consuming? Actually, it's easy to whip up some homemade dog treats. However, if you are not quite sure how to make dog treats, the following is a great recipe that will help you make some tempting treats for your pooch.
First thing's first: You need to get all your ingredients together. For these treats you'll need ? cup of margarine, an egg, ? cup of cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of chicken flavor, 3 cups of whole wheat flour, ? cup of shredded cheese, one cup of oatmeal, and ? cup of milk.
Now comes our next step for learning how to make dog treats: Mix all your ingredients up. But not all together! You'll want to mix the dry ingredients, leaving out the flour, and then in another bowl you can mix the wet ingredients.
Once they're all blended, combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix again. Once everything is all nicely blended, start mixing in the flour. Do it 1/2 a cup at a time, stirring each time.
You can use cookie cutters to cut these treats or you can drop them on the cookie pan like drop cookies.
Now it's time to bake them for 30 minutes at 325 degrees F. So there you have it. Once you have the right recipe, it's a simple matter to know how to make dog treats.
