Please try out the following recipes for delicious dog treats...

Tuna Fudge

Tuna fudge is an inexpensive and well-loved treat which is great for training sessions.

  • 12 oz tuna in water (do not drain) - you can also experiment with other fish including sardines
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 to 1.5 cups flour
  • Parmesan cheese, to sprinkle

Mash tuna in bowl or liquefy in a blender, add eggs and then flour to make a very soft dough - almost a batter.  Spread into a greased cookie sheet, or use parchment paper for a quicker clean-up.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes- it will be the texture of putty or a bit bready.  Cut into small squares, divide into baggies and freeze if desired.

Liver Brownies

Liver brownies are even richer than tuna fudge, and can be used for those hard-to-motivate dogs.

  • 1 pound liver
  • 1 egg
  • 1 large glug of milk
  • 2.5 cups flour

Blend liver, egg, and milk in a blender until liquid, then fold in flour. Pour into a greased or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes (thinner brownies need less time than thicker ones). Cut them into tiny pieces, divide into baggies, and freeze.

 

Egg and oyster delight

  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 1 tin of smoked oysters
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • Parmesan

Mix and blend eggs and oysters with an immersion blender until the oysters are chopped into tiny bits.  Fold in flour, mix well.  Bake for 15 minutes on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, or until the egg is cooked through.  Remove from oven and immediately grate Parmesan cheese over the still-hot egg patty, so it melts slightly.  Cut into small pieces.  Refrigerate/freeze extras.
