Lyssy asked:
I want to be able to bake my own dog biscuits for my labrador and chessie, but I don’t know where to find a good recipe.
It needs to be healthy, which is my main priority, but also it would be nice if all the ingredients could be found in one or two stores so I’m not zipping all over town.
Thank You.

heres the recipe: go to the petstore and say i want some good dog treats, not fatty ones, k thanx.
FIDO Biscuits,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ENJOY!!!! :–)
2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 egg, beaten
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 jars strained baby food(, any flavor, all natural and no preservatives)
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
In a large bowl combine all ingredients together and make a thick dough.
Knead on a slightly floured countertop for about 4 minutes until the dough is nice and smooth.
Sprinkle a little more flour over the dough to make rolling easy.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters or a small drinking glass.
Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet for about 22 minute.
Let doggie biscuits cool for at least 1/2 hr before serving. To keep fresh, package these in sealed containers.
Try different flavors of baby food.
Yield- depending on size.
We recommend that you use good quality baking sheets, such as Chicago Metallic, which has a professional quality non-stick finish. Otherwise you may want to line your baking sheets with parchment paper (thanks for the tip, Jim B. of Lake in the Woods, CA!), lightly grease baking sheets, or be more generous with the flour when rolling out the dough.
If you can’t find the various flours these recipes call for in your grocery store, try a food coop or health food store.
As you’re trying out new recipes you find on the Internet or in cookbooks, remember that not all food that’s good for humans is good for dogs. Some foods can cause allergic reactions–itchy skin, rashes, dull, thinning hair, and other coat problems. Others, if consumed in sufficient quantities, can make dogs sick or even kill them. Foods to avoid giving your dog include turkey*, pork, chocolate, onions, salt, processed sugar, soy–and rich or spicy prepared foods your dog’s digestive system can’t handle. Why? Read When Good Dogs Eat Bad Things from The Healthy Dog! newsletter. In addition to the foods listed in that article, be aware that grapes and raisins, when eaten in large quantities, can be toxic to dogs–causing vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney failure. While one or two grapes won’t harm your pup, if you find an entire bunch of grapes missing from your fruit bowl, you should watch for signs of toxic reaction.
many recipies for you to try and more at web page
try this: 1 cup each whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, and cornmeal. 1 egg, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2/3 cup of chicken broth [ low salt or sodium free ], 1 cup of meat or peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder , 1 teaspoon of fresh or dried parsley, and 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh mint if you have it. mix together and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 400 for 10-20 minutes for soft cookies or 20-30 for hard cookies. i have also added cheese and a small jar { or 2 if doubling the recipe } of baby food. my dogs favorite: bacon, parm. cheese, spinach , and sun dried tomato. they love them. i have also done a peanut butter, carrot, and Sweet potato cookie and they like it too. i add a little molasses to it for flavor.
Take two dog biscuts. Put peanut butter in between them. Put popcorn in the peanut butter. Cover with more PB. Freeze. I tried it and my dogs loved it!
