Looking for recipes

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Sidiqi's birthday is still more than a month away, but what can I say? I'm goofy about my dog. I'm starting to think about how to celebrate his birthday. I think I want to make him a special treat. I'd love for everyone to share their favorite recipe for dog treats. I want to make something from scratch, not just go out and buy a treat.

This is not a cake, but you could make cupcakes from it.
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup yogurt
1 banana
honey

blend in the blender and freeze in little jello shot cups or muffin tins.
Zoe loves these treats. ( The amounts may not be just right, I eyeball it)

I tend to stay away from recipes that are based on liver. Dogs love liver but, the problem is that they love it two much and sometimes their stool smells too inviting for them.

Here is a healthy recipe that is not based on liver.

Oatmeal Tuna Biscuits

Ingredients
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal or 1/14 cup corn flour
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 small can tuna in oil -- undrained
• 1/3 cup water

Directions

Grind oatmeal in processor to make a coarse flour. Set aside in small bowl. In food processor, whirr tuna with the oil, and water then add all the rest of ingredient. Pulse till mixture forms a ball, Pulse to knead for 2-3 minutes. Knead on floured surface till it forms a soft ball of dough. Roll out to a 1/8"-1/4" thickness. Cut into shapes. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet , at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.

All our dogs (1 Doodle and 4 Maltese - as well as our cat - love fish). Fish never goes to waste in our home. I brought home over 60 pounds of fillets (salmon, halibut and various bottom fish) from a fishing trip to Alaska. That equates to a lot of leftovers for our dogs and cat. I always cook a little extra in order to flavor their kibble.

I am going to try this recipe tomorrow with some leftover salmon.

Pre-heat oven to 350.

Ingredients:
3.5 cups of oats
1.5 cups of pumpkin
1/4 cup of applesause (plain)
1 tsp. of vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients. Roll into small balls and place on cookie sheet. Lightly press each ball with a fork. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool and enjoy
