Homemade Dog Treats

I've been blessed with two dogs that both have food allergies. It it impossible to find treats that they can both eat, so I decided to start making my own. Here's the recipe in case any of you are in the same boat as me.

Dog Biscuits

3/4 C. Hot Water

1/3 C. Margarine ( I used canola oil, any oil will do. Use what's best for your pup.)

1/2 C. Powdered Milk ( I didn't have any, so I've used wheat germ, or corn meal in place of this. Flax can be used to, but my gals are allergic to it. Corn can be a common allergen for dogs, surprisingly it's something that neither of mine are allergic to.)

1 tsp. Salt

1 Egg beaten ( My girls are allergic to eggs. You can substitute one whole banana + tsp. baking powder, or 1/4 C. applesauce + 1 tsp. baking powder. )

3 C. Whole Wheat Flour ( I used organic pastry flour, because that's what I had. Again, use whatever is best for your pup. )

Pour hot water over margarine in large bowl. Stir in powdered milk, salt and egg. Add flour, a 1/2 cup at a time. Knead for a few minutes to form a stiff dough. Roll to 1/4" thickness, and cut out shapes. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Mine got a little thick so I added another ten minutes on.

Emma and Phoebe go nuts for these, I hope that your dogs do too. Take care, and I'll talk to you soon.
