Having a new puppy around the house is an adventure. Especially when the puppy is currently a 3 month old Siberian Husky who is already a hefty 28 pounds. Is he going to stop growing soon? :) Anyway, I'm always interested in collecting recipes and have now started becoming one of those crazy pet owners who makes homemade dog treats for their pooch. Here's the latest that has Gus jumping for joy:
Beef & Veggie Dog Treats
Ingredients:
1 egg
2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 cup boiling water
2 Tbsp flaxseed oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil (approx.)
1 3/4 cup white flour
3/4 cup wheat flour
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup carrots (shredded)
Directions:
Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water. Set aside. In a measuring cup, put the 2 Tbsp. of flaxoil, fill the rest of the way to the 1/2 cup line with vegetable oil. Mix with bouillon/water mixture, egg, and shredded carrots.
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to this.
On a floured mat or table, knead the mixture into a smooth ball. Roll out with a rolling pin until it is about a 1/4 inch thick. Cut into any shape or size you would like and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. they will continue to harden after you take them out of the oven.
So far, Gus the puppy has seemed to like them fairly well... but keeps begging for additional "taste tests" just to make sure. :)
