Homemade Doggie Treats Makes 2 dozen treats1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 cup melted bacon fat 1 large egg 1/2 cup cold water Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix by hand until dough forms. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Add more bacon fat or water if the dough is too stiff. Roll out onto a floured surface, to a thickness of just under 1/2-inch. Cut into 1x4-inch bars and transfer to a cookie sheet. Poke divots into the bars (I use the end of a chopstick) and bake in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the oven off, flip the bars, and place back in the oven until cool (this will further crisp them). Treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

To make it a vegan dog treat, you will also want to substitute the Parmesan cheese with soy or almond cheese. Blender or Food Processor? - Personally, my blender works much better at pureeing foods, so that is what this recipe calls for. If you find that your food processor works better, then by all means, use the kitchen appliance that works best. The idea is to achieve a thick liquid consistency to blend well with the dry ingredients. Parmesan Cheese - To help make this an easy dog treat recipe, we used powdered Parmesan cheese. However, you can use pre-grated or freshly grated Parmesan, too. If you grate the cheese yourself, be sure that the pieces will fold well into the treat without sticking out, as they will most likely burn in the oven. Fork or Spoon? - It may sound a little strange to stir the wet and dry ingredients together with a fork, but that's what's needed. The spinach mixture has a desire to clump together, but by using a fork you can break apart the little mounds of spinach. Microwave Your Spinach - Research suggests that microwaving spinach is a better option than boiling. The reasoning is that by boiling the spinach you can decrease the amount of folate by up to half. Since these homemade dog cookies are all about their nutritional value, lets keep the vitamins in the cookie and in our dog's tummies.With all of the nutrition available in these homemade dog cookies, the only thing left to decide is which day to make the recipe.

Learn more about using flax in your homemade dog treats, with our Cheesy Flax Squares recipe. Choosing Cookie Cutters - Because this recipe uses baking powder, these peanut butter dog biscuits will puff up some during the baking process. Because of that, you will want to choose a dog cookie cutter that has simple shapes. The puffed cookie will not show the same amount of detail as another dog treat recipe. Crumble Bacon - After the bacon is cooked and cooled, it's time to crumble. Instead of doing this by hand, one tiny piece at a time, break your bacon into large pieces and place in a plastic zip-lock bag. Then easily break and crumble the bacon inside the bag with your hands. This saves time and greasy fingers! :) Bacon Grease - Pour the grease into a glass measuring cup, as opposed to a plastic one, because it will be very hot. You can make these homemade dog biscuits even more special by using the entire amount of bacon grease, instead of just 1/8 of a cup. If you choose to do this, do not add the full amount of water. Depending on how much extra grease you have, add the water 1/4 cup at a time. Continue adding water, up to 3/4 of a cup if needed, to make the dough combine. Choice of Bacon - If your dog loves bacon, but needs to keep his homemade dog biscuits on the healthier side, you can use turkey or low-sodium bacon for this recipe. Peanut Butter - Once you have warmed the peanut butter, try to work quickly adding the other wet ingredients. The reason is that the peanut butter will start to harden, and it's much easier to combine everything while it is still quite warm.When one of my taste tester tried these homemade dog biscuits, it was all she could do to hold still and wait for the treat, while a line of drool hit the floor.

Pumpkin Oil - If you already have pumpkin oil in your pantry, substitute it for the canola oil. It will add a stronger pumpkin flavor to this already yummy recipe for homemade dog treats. Pumpkin Seeds - If you use pumpkin seeds to decorate your dog cookies, make sure they are raw. Your dog does not need the added salt that comes with some varieties of pumpkin seeds. Also, when decorating the pre-baked cookies, press down lightly into the dough and the seeds should stay put after baking. You can also experiment with mixing the seeds into the dough before baking. Or, another fun idea is to grind up the seeds and roll the cookies in the crumbs before baking.

The dog biscuit dough is very moist, but it bakes into a hard outer shell. Once cooled, the cookie is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.If your dog doesn't care for a soft treat, make each dog biscuit smaller so they will cook through, and be an overall dry treat.

For more information on storing homemade dog treats read our tips and techniques.Yield - This recipe makes approximately 60 rounded 1 inch dog biscuits.Tips & Techniques Turkey Baby Food - When choosing a turkey baby food, make sure to read the ingredient list. Some will contain onion, which is not good for dogs (see below). If you can not find a pure organic turkey puree, choose a turkey vegetable dinner mixture, or something similar. Substitute for Pumpkin - You can also use cooked, mashed sweet potato instead of pumpkin. Just be sure to really mash, or whip the cooked sweet potato for a smooth textured dog biscuit. Stuffing - Please do not be tempted to substitute traditional stuffing for the plain bread crumbs. Most pre-made stuffing contains onion which is on the list of foods poisonous to dogs. Store bought stuffing also contains excess sugar and salt for dogs. Homemade Bread Crumbs - You can make your own bread crumbs by putting a couple slices of dry bread in a food processor. Then sprinkle your crumbs on a baking sheet and pop into a 300 oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Lightly stir the crumbs half way through. Use what you need and freeze the rest for other homemade dog biscuit recipes.

Recipe: Pear & Molasses Dog BiscuitsWe washed and cored the pears (remember: dogs can NOT eat pear pips or seeds. Like apple seeds, cherry pips, peach pits, pear pips, plum pips, and apricot pips, these seeds contain a compound that breaks down into cyanide so toss those!)The other ingredients were simple:Ingredients 2 cups chopped pears, cored 2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon baking powder 3 tablespoons molassesPreheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.I chopped my pears in a blender, doing just a little at a time (which was still faster than chopping them by hand). Even after using the two cups of chopped pears for the recipe, I still had several cups left to freeze for the future.Next, I just tossed everything in a large bowl and mixed it by hand. The result is a very sticky, heavy dough.Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface then knead (add some more flour if its extremely sticky. It will be a little sticky anyway because of the molasses). Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness then cut it in squares (or cut into bone shapes like I did!)

These biscuits dont spread as they cook so you can crowd them onto your cookie sheetjust make sure theyre not touching.

Pop the cookie sheet in the oven for half an hour (the bottom of the biscuits should be golden brown when done) then cool the biscuits completely before refrigerating or serving. Our dogs loved these (and I loved finding a good use for those pears!)
