Biscuit recipe

4 replies

Mishy1234 · 15/12/2010 09:19

My Dad and his wife have 2 rather gorgeous cocker spaniels and I'd like to make something to take over as a present for them. Does anyone have a homemade dog biscuit recipe?

They are both on quite strict diets (I think some dried food from the vets, ? science diet?), so would biscuits be ok as a present? Obviously Dad wouldn't give them all at once, but I want to be responsible with the gift.

If biscuits aren't appropriate, does anyone have any suggestions for something I could make at home? Not much spare cash atm I'm afraid.

Depends which science diet the dog is on. I would check first to see what ingredients the dogs can eat.

One of these may do depending on what the dog can eat.
RECIPE FOR LIVER CAKE 1lb of fresh liver, 2 large cloves of garlic,
1lb granary flour, 3 eggs, oil, milk,

Liquidise the liver, eggs, milk, garlic & a little oil. Add the flour & mix. Cook in microwave on full power for 10 mins. Cut into slices, freeze and use as required.

HOME BAKED DOG BISCUITS
8 oz sausage meat 2-3 fl oz of stock or
8 oz plain wholemeal flour, water.

Preheat oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.Mix sausage meat & flour with the stock to stiff dough. Roll out on floured surface to ½ thickness, cut into squares, or roll into mini sausages. Place on un-greased baking sheets and bake for 30-50 minutes depending on size. Take care not to burn, but they need to be hard. Cool before serving ? can be eaten by humans!

SARDINE CAKE
2 tins of sardines in oil (not brine),
5 eggs,
1 clove of garlic (or powder)
Flour to mix.

Mash sardines, mix in other ingredients to pudding consistency.
Microwave in microwave for 7 mins.
Cut into small squares. Freezes well.

DOG BISCUITS
1 lb wholemeal flour
3oz melted lard
1oxo cube
½ pint milk, or water mixture
½ lb cooked ox liver
1 egg

DOG BISCUITS
3 lbs wholemeal flour
½ lb fat or dripping
1½ pints milk
2-3 fl oz of stock or water
2 tablespoons grated cheese,
1 tablespoon salt
3 Oxo cubes.

Variations: Dissolve teaspoon of Marmite in some of the milk, add a well beaten egg, reducing the quantity of milk by about 1/8th of a pint. Or use one tablespoon of molasses (black treacle) instead of the Marmite.

DOG ICE CREAM .
1 large tub natural yoghurt
1 medium banana
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp honey

Blend banana, honey and peanut butter until smooth. Add yoghurt and blend enough for all ingredients to mix well. Put mixture in container (old ice cream tub will do) and freeze until solid. Let stand for 10 minutes out of the freezer before giving it to the dog. This is a treat
