Dog Food Recipes - Homemade Dog Biscuits

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.

Anyone up for delectable oatmeal chews? Take 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 3 cups oatmeal, 2 tablespoons honey and mix it all together. Fold in 2 egg yolks and 1 cup of cold water to bind it all together. Ensure the smooth consistency of the batter. Bake this for 15 minutes in a 350 F temperature. Once these chews are sufficiently cooled; cut into bite size pieces for your dog's snacking pleasure.

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.

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 are familiar with baking, feel free to change the ingredients to those that you know will appeal to your dog better. How about using apples, carrots and parsley for healthier options? Do the necessary research before coming up with your own dog food recipes though there are many ingredients that are harmful to canines when ingested. Examples of these are chocolate, onions, grapes and nuts.

Putting together amazing homemade dog biscuits wasn't too difficult now was it? All it takes is a teachable owner with a great love for his pet. Now that you have read and are armed with these delicious doggie treats, commence the baking! Never was there a man's best friend luckier than your Fido today.
