Give a Dog a Bone (dog Treat)

Submitted by Sandi From CA

"Who can resist those pleading eyes, that heart-wrenching cry, that drooling mouth? (Well, two out of three is pretty motivational to me.) Return the love to that dog who loves you unconditionally and tell him/her BONE APPETITE from me! Preparation time is approximate. Makes roughly 1-1/4 pound dry dog biscuits."

I just wanted to add that you should never feed your pets anything in the onion family or garlic! Please leave this out if you are going to use this recipe. It can cause anemia. :(

I made these in small bites to use for training my puppy. I used beef broth and left out the salt since that is on the "NEVER feed to a dog list." I found them to be bland and my dogs weren't all that impressed. Next time I will tweak it until the dogs are drooling over them.

My dog doesn't typically like the more biscuit-style treats. I decided to give these a shot anyways - its nice knowing what's in my dog's food, its economical, and he LOVES them. Enough said!

First of all, this was the best dough that I have ever worked with! For the broth I used home made chicken broth. I omitted the garlic and subbed white flour for whole wheat. Rolled some out thin and some out thick and rotated the trays between the shelves for even cooking (which took less than the 50minutes). With the home made broth, greasing the sheet was not necessary. The dogs loved them! Thank you for a great recipe!
