Homemade Dog Biscuits Made Easy

By Geraldine Dimarco


Learn some of these fantastic homemade dog biscuits to have your pet fetch you your slippers every time you get home. Alright so maybe thats an exaggeration; but these yummy treats will surely be a hit to any beloved canine. The best part about it is they are pretty easy to make too. Here are some excellent dog food recipes you can try at home today.

I don't know if you know this but pooches just love the taste of peanut butter. I have often been bewildered with the many intricacies of the baking world but this recipe is fool-proof, even for me. Combine 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, I cup milk, 2Tbsps of honey and 2 Tbsps of oil with 1/2 cup of smooth and creamy peanut butter. Blend the mixture well and scoop into bite sized treats onto cookie sheets. Bake them for 20 minutes in 350 F and you have yourself the keys to Fido's heart.

Anyone up for delectable oatmeal chews? Take 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 3 cups oatmeal, 2 Tbsp honey and mix it all together. Fold in 2 egg yolks and 1 cup of cold water to bind it all together. Ensure the smooth consistency of the batter. Bake this for 15 minutes in a 350 F temperature. Once these chews are sufficiently cooled; cut into bite size pieces for your dog's snacking pleasure.

Let us not forget our more aged dogs of course. As they get older their teeth become weaker and they will need soft food. This particular treat is chewable and soft, perfect for them. Combine cup dry milk powder, cup wheat germ, and 2 1/2 oz jars of beef or chicken flavored baby food. Knead them and form into little balls. Bake them for 15 minutes at 350 F until done.

Liver sounds less than appetizing for us but actually, this is a great treat to give to canines. Not only is it cost efficient, it is fairly easy to make. Chop and mash 1 lb of liver and combine it with 2 cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of flour and 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Spread this onto a grease lined tray and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. When done, cool in a wire rack before cutting in cubes and storing for your dogs quick noshes.

If you are knowledgeable about baking, be creative and throw in ingredients you think will fare well with your pet. Apple, carrots and parsley are terrific items that are tasty and healthy at the same time. As you create your own dog food recipes, look up the food that will prove to be hazardous to canines such as chocolates, onion, grapes and most nuts.

Now wasn't that easy? Basically, we just learned how to put together some ingredients and prepare them in the simplest way possible. Not only that these are some of the yummiest treats there are. Polly can have her cracker; Fido will take his delicious homemade dog biscuits any day.
