I have made the Meaty dog Biscuits, peanut butter treats, hypoallergenic dog treats (used wheat flour could not find the oat flour) and will be making the eat your veggies biscuits tonight.
All of them have been a huge hit with my dogs and friends dogs. went to a local craft store and got bone shaped cookie cutters.

Made the Veggie ones last night they made the largest batch other then the Meaty ones. dogs loved them! (side note needed to add a lot more flour then the 2 1/2 cups it said)

My dogs will do anything for a chunk of squash/potato. I bet a vegetable treat would blow their friggin' sled heads. Lindsay would KILL me if I made something for the dogs and not her though...

Just give her one of the vegetable treats. Judging by the ingredients... they're probably pretty good. I'm not one to eat dog food... but I'm just saying...

OH i was very tempted to try the PB and oat ones they smell really good. im making the veggie ones tonight, they did not say what kind of carrots to use so i bought caned ones


Eddy if you want i can make them some and send them to you so you will not get in trouble....

.

I make my own dog treats at home too. I hadn't come across that site before so thanks for sharing! I've ordered my doggie cookie cutters online and have different size bone shaped cutters, a paw shape cutter, and my personal favorite is my husky shaped cookie cutter.

Where can i find a husky shape cutter? i have 2 bone shaped ones but would love to add more! what sites do you use for finding treats?

I bought mine from http://cookiecutter.com/ They have tons of cutters to choose from, really great prices and very fast shipping.

Here is the husky one that I have http://cookiecutter.com/huskysleddog45inb1673.aspx

They also have sled cutter http://cookiecutter.com/dogsled475inb1674.aspx

Or you can get a kit like this http://cookiecutter.com/alasakamusherset6pcl9002.aspx

Browse the animal cutter section and they have so many things to choose from. Different sizes and shapes of dog bones, dog breeds, and a variety of paw shapes and sizes.

Just in time for FALL and Halloween!!!!

Is Kai having problems?

There's an awesome bakery down here that specializes in all natural dog treats. They sell everything, pumpkin biscuits, puplova (all natural biscuit with yoghurt, strawberries and kiwi fruit on top), peanut butter and goji berry, all that awesome stuff. Logan loves them.

We bought a cookbook for dog treats as well so we're going to start making our own. My partner tried a batch last weekend, but it didn't go too well. We put the biscuits through the Logan test and they failed. But if was our first go, we'll keep trying.

We could only find boring cookie cutters down here, might need to check out that site for better ones.

Hi,
Hmm, I think it's Husky tummy.
Kai has been with us now for about a month and he's settled in really well, he was born 04/06/10 so still a pup. I am used to GSD's and Welsh Collie's. The previous owners were feeding him Pedigree Puppy with Chicken and Rice and this is what they recommended as they said that this was the only thing that agreed with him. After a week it became obvious that this wasn't the case.
Poor lad!!
This Forum and the tamaskan-forum.com, all of you have helped me solve Kai's stomach issue. So i'd like to say thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and research. I'll post some photo's and vid's at some point (got to figure out how! I'm not particularly computer friendly).
Sweet potato, Roast chicken and Dog gravy tonight.
Seems to work
We are very grateful.
A contented human and owner.

So glad to hear we could help

Check out the sticky at the top of the Member Photos forum or the Scrapbook forum. It explains how to post pictures

I made Dog icecream sunday night for the pups.
i could only really find one recipe online

• 32 ounces of vanilla or plain yogurt.
• 1 well mashed banana.
• 2 T. peanut butter.
• 2 T. honey.

i put in 2 bananas because they were ready to use and did not want them to go to waste.

i mixed up the banana, PB and honey real good then i added the plain non or low fat yogurt. i got foil lined cupcake liners and put them in my cupcake/ muffin pan and spooned the mixture into the cups all the way to the top. stuck in freezer over night. i filled the pan and 3 extra cups with all the mixture.

on second though i should not have filled them up so much as when i went to feed i realized how big they were and i could not cut it in half as it was to frozen.

Sierra chowed hers down and wanted more, Jack ate his slowly then less then 5 min later he threw it all up im not sure if it was to much for him or to cold or the bananas... gonna try a half of one tonight and see how he does as i have feed him all those things on their own before....

i think it would also be fun to mix in maybe some beef or chicken baby food and carrots maybe for a non fruit mix. i think the options are endless with what you can add to the yogurt .

hope they enjoy it!

OH i was very tempted to try the PB and oat ones they smell really good.

I made some PB treats for my girls once and brought some to a dog event. One lady actually did eat one! Knowing they were for dogs! She said it was good. lol. I still didn't try them, because I had added some THK to the recipe.

I make treats for my 2 all the time. Everything I use them can be eaten by humans. Usually they do not taste very good at least to me they don't but hey the dogs love them.

Someone does have a birthday coming up...

Thanks for posting this, Jenn! I will definitely be doing a little baking for the Beast's birthday

I got pretty wasted one time and ate some of the yogurt type dog treats. They weren't bad, though that could have been the copious amounts of alcohol talking too. Really, there isn't anything better to do on a Friday night in Enid, OK.

My grandmother started eating the cookies that you get at Petco one time because she thought they were human cookies. Dad let her go for a while before saying anything too, it was hilarious.

I love making my dogs cookies. I make the peanut butter cookies from a site that went offline along time ago, but it's just peanut butter, oat flour, and pumpkin and it makes enough for the entire neighborhood. They love them!
