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 25-35 minutes, or until browned.

add your comment »Amalthea you are right dairy is not good for dogs, not alt of it anyway, some good dogs treats are mixing 2cups water 3 cups of whole wheat flour and them mixing it up, making into any shape you want, they are very chewy and good for cleaning their teeth.

Jamie,
I'm not sure, but I don't think dogs can digest dairy. Maybe someone else has more information?

Here is a treat my Thor loves.
Chicken Liver Cookies -
2 cups Flour
3 tbs. Vegetable oil
1 cup wheat germ or cornmeal if wheat allergies are a problem
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp. parsley
1 cup cooked chicken liver, chopped
Combine flour and wheat germ. In separate bowl, beat egg with oil, then add broth & parsley, mix well. Add the dry ingredients to bowl a little at a time, stirring well. Fold in chicken livers and mix well. Dough will be firm. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out 1/2" thick and cut into shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet 1" apart. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator.

My dogs get cookies but their favourite treats are raw carrots, beets, cauliflower, apples, fennel, oranges, etc. Go easy on the broccoli, they love it but who wants a dog with gas? LOL
The raw veggies are good the dogs, vegan, clean their teeth, are high in fiber and vitamins, are wheat free, meat free, fat free, sugar free, salt free and are afforable. Though they don't offer protein, you dog should be getting enough of that through his breakfast and supper.
Ask your vet about giving your pooch raw veggies for treats. Most agree that it's a good and health choice.

Thanks so much for the recipe and those who posted other ones as well. My pug enjoys treats, but I really am concerned with all of the "tainted" products from dog food, to infant formula when I buy them for her, if they might make her ill or worse. Plus, in making your own, you know exactly what goes in them so that your dog will get the most nutritional benefit from them. My pug Tazz, happens to have some allergy issues, not from food, but more from things in the air. Pugs have a tendency to be sensitive to many things. Last time she was scratching herself till she bled, and I was so alarmed I rushed her to the vet. He gave me a bottle of supplements to put on her food. The main ingredient was actually fish oil. He also put her on prednisone, and I really did not want to give that to her much due to all of the long term health issues it can potentially cause. The supplement worked great! I only had to give her a few days of the prednisone and after that I daily put the supplement on her food. Or course it was expensive so I just bought the fish oil, and it works wonders.
So, I could see using a recipe like this, and also adding the fish oil, plus a couple of other vitamins to also help with her skin. Vitamin E is another one good for them.
Again, thanks so much. For the most of us as pet owners, our pets are more like "kids" and a member of our family. I refer Tazz sometimes as my "fur-kid". She can bring a smile to your face, no matter how bad a day goes.
