Ok, so this might be a little crazy..but T. & I made homemade dog treats the other day and the dog loves them.
And when I say he loves them, I mean he really loves them. He has, on several occasions, stood alone in the kitchen "talking" at the treat jar...trying to get us to come in and get him one. If I didn't have first hand knowledge of the ingredients I might think there was some sort of addictive substance in them. ...he is a lab though, so maybe he's just not very picky - he does occasionally like to eat a nice stick or piece of mulch. It was a fun project for T. & I to do together...
Anywhooo...We got the recipe out of a magazine my mom picked up...can't remember the name at the moment...but here's the recipe for all of you dog lovers.
Great Gravy Cookies
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 small jars beef baby food
6 T. beef gravy
1 egg
1/2 cup non fat dry milk
1/2 cup water
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Lightly pat your hands with flour and shape the mix into a big ball. Flatten the ball using a floured rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet (we used non greased stoneware cookie sheet and they didn't stick). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow to cool, and then watch as your dog becomes addicted.
We're going to vary the flavor by switching out the beef baby food and gravy for chicken next time to see if he likes those...I'm sure he will.
This is what it looks like just before you have to clean the camera lens...I think Oakley was tired of the picture-taking and ready for another treat.
