Dog treats......

[inkjunkie]

What is everybody giving there pups for treats? We have a box of bones from Costco that we give them. When I give them breakfast they get some carrots and sugar snap peas with there food. Every now and then we will give them a can of string beans with there food. Red, the one Coonhound does not like them but he will not leave anything in his food bowl. He will eat of his dog food, and then one by one, eat the string beans. Kind of comical watching this dog that inhales his food eating something he does not like. When Ernie feeds our birds the dogs will get some of the produce, pineapple,apples,watermelon or cantaloupe that she gives the birds. And don't even try to get ice from the icemaker, the 3 of them will come running and just stnd there, staring at you, wanting an ice cube....

We feed our dogs raw and they have benefited immensely from the change. For instance we bought twenty chickens the other day, cut them up and create small meal bags for each dog based on their weight.

My wife's been making homemade treats for our dogs for the past several years. They each get a treat after their meals and pester us for them if they don't get them right away.
Here's the recipe if any of you want to do the same:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 large egg (add shell if desired)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese OR 1/2 cup peanut butter
(Our dogs love either flavor)

For the Parmesan cheese treats:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Place the flour, cornmeal and cheese in a bowl. Mix well with hands. Place water and milk into another bowl (or measuring cup), stir well. Break egg into water/milk mixture, stir well. Pour egg/milk/water mixture into flour mixture, kneading with your hands.
Tear of hunks of dough and place on cutting board, sprinkled with whole wheat flour. Roll dough out (with rolling pin), cut into small squares or rectangles using a pizza cutter. Place on cookie sheet.
Bake for 16 minutes. Cool and store.

For the peanut butter treats:
Everything is the same except mix flour and cornmeal only. Add the peanut butter by spoonfulls to the combined egg/milk/water and flour mixture and knead well with your hands to spread peanut butter evenly throughout the mixture.

Our dogs love these treats!!! And they're all natural with no preservatives - except what's already in the ingredients.

Puppy enjoys just about any kind of people food as a treat.

Her favorite is a saltine cracker with a little bit of peanut butter smeared on it.

Of course, if I smeared some ketchup on a piece of cardboard, she would think we gave her some pizza!

My dogs love pigs ears, one of them plays with it for 5 minutes or so before he devours it.

Big cow bone. Sometimes a couple chunks of bacon fat. Brocoli, cabbage, carrots and other table scraps that arent chicken or fish bones. We get some high grade dog food at the feed store too. Mainly though, the dog is restricted to the dog food. Yesterday I gave the dog an oreo cookie and he survived.

It's not very wise giving a canine chocolate or anything with caffeine in it. Their systems were not made for those kind of substances and have been known to kill a dog.

we give ours dehydrated chicken franks as treats,cut up into very small chunks. They seem to like them and the vet says that they are better for them than most of the store bought treats.

X2, same goes for onions, grapes and raisins.

I sneak my pups the occaisonal french fry now and again but for the most part, they get store bought hard crunchy treats. They help remove tartar.
