dog biscuits

Taste of Home had a recipe for Cheddar Garlic Dog Biscuits. I misplaced mine, and the recipe is not in the recipe search section. Can anyone help?

Any and all dog biscuit recipes would be appreciated!

Last year I sold two cannisters of them at a charity auction for almost $200.00.

Thank you!

Here it is. It is in the TOH Aug/Sept 03 issue

Garlic Cheese Dog Biscuits

1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup stick margarine, softened
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 to 4 garlic cloves
dash salt
6 to 8 tablespoons milk

In a mixing bowl, beat the cheese and margarine. Add the floud, garlic and salt; mix well. Add enough milk to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a bone-shaped cookie cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Biscuits will harden as they cool. Makes 1-1/2 to 2 dozen depending on cookie cutter size

www.recipegoldmine.com has a pet food recipes section, might be able to find something there.

I have made this one (posted originally by RedRaspberryGirl) and my dog likes it:

1/4 cup dried parsley
6 Tablespoons oil (I use olive)
3/4 cup water

Mix all of the ingredients together. Roll out on a floured surface

olive oil lid which makes nice bite size treats. Bake at 350 for 40
minutes or until lightly brown. Turn off oven and let set several

4 1/2 tbsp Water (up to 5 tbsp)

Preheat oven to hot (400 degrees). Make a cardboard pattern of a dog
bone, 4 inches long or use a dog-bone cookie cutter. Combine flour,
cheese, garlic and vegetable oil in container of food processor.
Cover, whirl until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. With
machine running, slowly add water until mixture forms a ball. Divide
dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each piece to 1/2" thickness.
Cut out bones.
Transfer to ungreased cookie sheet. Do not re-roll scraps. Bake in
preheated hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until bottom of cookies

Basic Dog Treats

1 3/4 C whole wheat flour
1 1/4 C oatmeal
1 1/2 T vegetable oil
1 C warm water

Options to add:

1/3 C finely grated cheese
1/4 C peanut butter

Mix the dry ingredients together. Then mix the wet ingredients
together. Blend both mixtures until a firm dough is achieved. Shape
dough into an oblong roll, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for an
hour. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease sheet pan. Slice
roll into 1cm thickness, place on sheet pan and bake for about an
hour or until treats are done. I usually check them at 45 minutes,
and then every five minutes so they don't scorch. Don't forget to
let them cool before giving to your best friend.

Woof, woof - these all sound so good & healthy for our poochos, TY for sharing :)

Wait. Garlic?? Is it going to give my little poo-poo head bad bread though? Yikes.

Bump.

Any answers to the garlic breath question?

Hi All,

Reading the recipes for dog biscuits, One of them had raisins in it, I have read that grapes can kill a dog, and especially if is small, also Garlic breath? , also read that quanties? of garlic are also bad for dogs, although dog foods have it in it, but they know how much is to much, I would be careful with those items.
I couldn't let this go by without a warning.

Just a note of caution!

Recently, it has been noted that raisens have been found to be toxic to some dogs and it can be dangerous.

Please do not put raisens in your dog treats even if it's never bothered your dogs before.

Try using shredded carrots instead.

I wish I had a source to tell you where I found this info, it's been a while and I can't remember. It might have been while at my vets. They have posters telling what over the counter meds, foods, and plants are dangerous to cats/dogs.

I know there are also breed related troubles too. Like collies are known to be sensitive to a certain drug commonly found in heartworm preventative medicine. For that reason, I have to stick to Intercepter brand of heartworm med for my collie & my sheltie. Shelties can react the same way and it can be fatal!

Onions are very toxic to dogs too as well as Amonium AD, but Pepcid AC & Pepto is okay.

My collie recently was neutered and there were some complications so he ended up having major surgery to look for one that wasn't where it was supposed to be. He then had a reaction to the sutures inside (the self disolving ones) and then developed an infection. He also had a reaction to 2 different antibiotics that were both in the penicillin family. We are keeping track of all the meds and the kind of sutures so we'll know if we ever have to have surgery again.

When they are members of your family, you can never be too cautous!

I wont be home till this weekend but i do have a couple of good ones. I'll post them when i can. I only feed solid gold dog food and imake my dog her own treats.Deonia
