Bacon-Flavored Doggie Biscuits

What you need:

  • 2 eggs
  • 5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 10 tablespoons bacon fat, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs then stir in milk, water and bacon fat. Season with salt. Carefully add the whole wheat flour to make the dough stiff. Once desired stiffness is achieved, cut pieces of the dough and roll into 2-inch balls. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and place dough balls on it. Bake in a pre-heated oven (350F) for 30 to 45 minutes. Cool biscuits on racks and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Delicious Meat Cake For Dogs (and Humans)

What you need:

  • 2 1/2 kilograms ground beef
  • 8 eggs
  • 4 carrots, grated
  • 2 potatoes, grated
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups regular rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 dash salt

Mix together ground beef, eggs, carrots, potatoes and celery in a large bowl. Stir in rolled oats, cooked rice, olive oil and salt. Stir until ingredients are well-combined. Fill 36 lightly greased cups of 3 large muffin tins with the meat mixture and bake in a pre-heated oven (400F) until surface of the meat cake feels set, about 45 minutes. Cool on racks completely and remove from cups before giving to your pet. Refrigerate in sealed plastic bags.

Microwave Pooch Donuts

  • 3 tablespoons quick cooking oats

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg and beef broth. Add whole wheat flour and quick cooking oats to stiffen dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out shape and a smaller one to cut out the center hole. Arrange donuts in a greased microwave-safe plate and cook on high on a microwave for 10 minutes. Repeat steps until all of the dough is cooked. Cool on wire rack completely.
