Homemade Dog Bones
By making your own dog bones you are providing your pet with wholesome food
and are assured that you are not feeding them animal byproducts of unknown
origin. Keep your eyes out for dog bone cookie cutters; they are frequently
sold in kitchen supply stores.
(Adapted from Rodale’s Book of Practical Formulas)
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup corn meal
- 1/2 cup soy flour
- 1/2 cup ground seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon linseed oil (available in health food stores)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix to blend. Add the liquid ingredients.
Stir, adding more milk if necessary to make a ball that can be kneaded and
rolled out on a cutting board. Roll out dough, and cut out dog bone shapes
using a cookie cutter or knife. Place on a well-greased baking pan, and bake
at 350 F for 25 to 35 minutes, or until browned.

I agree with Cherry Marrone, dogs shouldn't have cows milk. Does anyone know of a vegan dog treat recipe?

I cooked chicken breast and brown rice recipe when dog food was pulled off the market, I used some of that as a base and added whole wheat flour and organic carrots processed into a dough then I slow cooked it in the oven to make them crunchy, it was great knowing there was NO toxic waste in his treats. A shop nearby bakes treats daily, I hear it does very well. Maybe ideas for cat treats could be obtained by calling one of those pet bakery/specialty shops.
