Easy dog treat recipes

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile for some reason blogger wasn't letting me log in. 


I know this isn't related to animal cruelty or anything but since valentines day is coming why not spoil you pet with a tasty homemade treat? Here's some recipes-

Peanut Butter Treats 

• 2 tablespoons corn oil 
• 1/2 cup peanut butter 
• 1 cup water 
• 1 cup whole wheat flour 
• 2 cups white flour 

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine oil, peanut butter and water in a bowl. Add Flour 1 cup at a time, then knead into firm dough. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with small bone shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.





Plain biscuits

Ingredients: 
2 cups whole wheat flour 
1 cup rolled oats 
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes (or 2 tbl fresh chopped parsley) 
2 large eggs 
1/2 cup water (+2 more tablespoons if dough is too dry) 
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk 
1 cup peanut butter 
Instructions: 
Preheat oven to 150° C. 
In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add water and peanut butter. Gently combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. 
Knead with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. 
Take a rolling pin and flatten out the dough. Use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes. If you’re feeling lazy, just leave the dough as is, and bake it like one whole cookie. You can always break them up after they’re cooked. 
Make sure you’re using a non-stick baking sheet or spray 
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden. If you want the dog treats to be softer, take them out 10 minutes earlie
