Dog Biscuits

Buffy ran out of dog treats. She's been training well with the delicious incentive.

So, I went online and looked for dog treat recipes. I found one called Flea Hater's Biscuits. I had all of the ingredients on hand, so I mixed up a batch.

She hated them.

Wouldn't even taste them.

Hmmm... Well, I decided to use some venison we'd been given for a nice Venison Chili. When I drained off the fat and juice from browning the ground venison, I poured it over the failed dog biscuits. I popped them back into the oven to toast and brown.

She likes them! I saved $3 on dog biscuits by using staples in my pantry: flour, oil, wheat germ, brewers yeast (I just happened to have received a small bottle in recent weeks), salt and chicken broth (I used my stock of buillon powder).

I'm not sure how to tell if a dog treat recipe will taste good to a dog or not, as yet. But, there a lot of them available on the internet to try. They're pretty simple and it's fun.
