Everything But the Kitchen Sink Homemade Doggy Biscuits

I regularly bake homemade doggy biscuits, and people always want to know how I make them...

In all honesty, I make them differently every single time. I always make the joke that Everything But the Kitchen Sink goes into them.

If you're a person that doesn't mind "experimenting" and cooking without a concise recipe, then you'll love this project!!! Really, you can't go wrong...You're making really dry, crunchy, little treats for your dogs that love to eat just about anything...Don't be scared!!!

We regularly have very healthy ingredients, in bulk, that I can use for the base of the biscuits, such as organic rolled oats, wheat germ & bran, unsweetened coconut, whole what flour, etc.

Firstly, I check out what we have in the way of healthy leftovers, such as meat without a lot of fat or seasonings. I will cut it up and throw it in the bowl.

Next...is there leftover rice, bulgur, beans??? Anything like that? If so, I throw it in. How about vegetables that you are not going to eat? Throw that in too. Leftover soup? Mash it all up and add that too (provided there is little salt and fat).

Stay away from anything with sugar, excessive amounts of salt or fats. Follow your common sense, meaning, if you shouldn't be eating it in a healthy diet, don't feed it to your dogs...

* CHOCOLATE of any kind is like a POISON to your dog! NEVER EVER add this to your dog's diet!

Do not add baking soda or baking powder...We're not looking for the treats to rise or puff up when baked...We're trying to dry out the ingredients!

Now that you have the base of your leftovers, haul out your rolled oats, bran, seeds, nuts, coconut, wheat germ...whatever you have. DO NOT use white flour to bind the mixture! Use whole wheat flour or another type of whole flour.

Organic ingredients are best, of course.

Some Interesting Additions:

* I ALWAYS add at least 3-4 tbsp of parsley into the mixture for bad breath.

* I add either cinnamon or mint extract/oil for bad breath as well.

* Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg (to calm a hyper dog)...use your imagination!

* There are times I add olive oil, simply to add liquid to the mixture and for health reasons.

* Try apple sauce, yogurt or salsa...My dogs love salsa (we bought a salsa that was organic, etc, that we didn't like at all...No worries, you didn't waste your money, add it to the recipe!)

* Apple Cider Vinegar is good for dogs too, just like it is for you!

* Eggs with egg shells...That's what I said...Crush them up of course, but it will provide your dogs with another good source of calcium. The hard shells become more brittle when baked and therefore, they crumble easier. I always add at least 2 eggs to bind the mixture altogether.

* Natural rice puffs or corn puffs cereal.

* Cut up or grated fruits and vegetables.

Tips:

* You want a "cookie-type" mixture...Meaning not too liquid, not dry either...You want it to have the right moisture content in it to spoon the mixture into little mounds, like cookies, on a cookie sheet.

...So, if you need more liquid, add water, vegetable juice...something wet...If you need it less watery, add oatmeal/rolled oats or bran and wait for a few minutes until the liquid is soaked up.

* Bake on 325 degrees for approximately 1 hr...more or less...Now, you want the cookies to be very very dry for storage...If you need to bake longer, turn oven down to 300 degrees for 30 min - 1 hr.

...If you have any type of meat in the biscuits, ensure the cookies are completely dry before finishing baking them. Crunchy treats clean your dog's teeth too!

* These biscuits have no preservatives and because of this, they do not keep a very long time. You will often make in excess of 100 cookies, so store them in open air...DO NOT enclose, as they tend to mold quickly if you do.

I have never met ONE dog that didn't love these biscuits. In fact, even finicky dogs like my mother's Westie-Poo beg for them. They're good for them...No worries!

More often than not, the biscuits you make at home will be much healthier, cheaper, safer and more nutritious than anything you'll get on the market for your pooch!

We make a batch of these every couple of weeks and our dogs just know it when we start mixing!

We regularly have healthier ingredients, in bulk, I can use and bran biscuits for the base, such as organic rolled oats, wheat germ, coconut unsweetened, that all the flour, etc.

First, to verify that we have healthy on the road without a lot of leftover meat such as fat or spices. I cut down and thrown into the bowl.

More ... There are remains of rice, bulgur, beans? Something like that? If so, I throw it inHow about vegetables that are not going to eat? Throw that in too. Leftover soup? Mash well and add that (if there is enough salt and fat).

Stay away from anything with sugar, excessive amounts of salt or fat. Follow your common sense, that is, if you should eat in a healthy diet, do not feed them with your dog ...

* Any type of chocolate is like poison to your dog! Never add this to your dog's diet!

Do not add baking powder or yeastPowder ... We're not trying to get goodies for the baked pasta or ... We try to dry ingredients!

Now that you have the floor of your remains, you drag the oatmeal, bran, seeds, nuts, coconut, wheat germ ... what you have. Do NOT use white flour to bind the mixture! Use whole wheat flour or other whole wheat flour.

Organic ingredients are of course better.

Some interesting additions:

* I always add at least 3-4 tablespoonsParsley mixture for bad breath.

* The mint or cinnamon, or extract / oil for bad breath may add.

* Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg (to calm a hyper dog) ... use your imagination!

* There are times that add the olive oil, add the liquid to the mix and for health reasons.

* Try applesauce, or yogurt sauce ... My dogs love salsa (salsa that we bought an organic, so it was that we did not ... Do not worry, you do not have your money, add to the recipe!)

*Apple cider vinegar is good for dogs as it is for you!

* Eggs and egg shells ... This is what I said ... Crush it up, of course, but will provide your dog with another good source of calcium. The hard shells are brittle when baked, and crumble easily. I always add at least 2 eggs to bind the mixture as a whole.

* Natural Rice and corn puffs Puffs cereals.

* Cut up vegetables or fruit and rind.

Suggestions:

* To"Cookie-type" mixing ... Meaning is not too runny, not dry ... They do it for the moisture content have the right mixture in small mounds, such as spoons and biscuits on a baking sheet.

... So if you need more liquid, add water, vegetable juice ... a bit 'wet ... If it is less watery, add oat bran or oatmeal and wait until the liquid is absorbed need.

* Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour ... more or less ... Now you want the cookies veryvery dry storage ... If you cook more, to turn 300 degrees oven for 30 minutes needed - 1 hour

... If you have any kind of meat in a secure cookies, the cookies are completely dry before you finish cooking. These crisp clean your dog's teeth is too much!

* These cookies have no preservatives and therefore, do not last very long. It will often make over 100 cookies, store them in the open air ... DO NOT close because they tend to shapequickly if you want.

I have never met a dog biscuits not so loved it. In fact, I wonder even picky dogs like my mother for her Westie-Poo. They are good for them ... Do not worry!

More often than not, the cookies at home is much healthier, cheaper, safer and more nutritious than anything you get your puppy on the market!
