These homemade dog biscuits will help your dog celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day.
They say every dog has his day and Friday, February 23, 2007 must be it, because that is National Dog Biscuit Day. I was not able to find out the origin of this doggy holiday but many of us plan to observe it. Dogs will certainly enjoy celebrating with a box of milkbones but, for those who wish to take things a step further and add a personal touch, the recipes below can be made with your very own hands. Try one or both of these to put a wag in your dog’s tail.
Peanut Butter Pooch Cookies
21/2 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup white flour
¼ cup oatmeal
11/4 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
Combine flour, oatmeal, and baking powder. Combine milk, peanut butter, and honey in a separate bowl and mix well. Stir peanut butter mixture into flour/oatmeal mixture. Knead dough and roll-out on floured surface to a quarter inch thickness. Cut out treats using a cookie cutter. Place aluminum foil on cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes.
Tail Waggers
3 Jars Baby Food – (1 carrot, 2 meat)
1/3 cup Wheat Germ
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Mix ingredients well and then press into small “patties”. Bake in 350 oven for about 15 minutes.
When you make it yourself, you know what goes into it. When cooking for your dog, always remember that chocolate and onions are dangerous for dogs to eat. Happy National Dog Biscuit Day!
