Crunchy treats???

    Crunchy treats???

    Does anyone make any crunchy treats for their dogs?   I am not working now...and would like to start making Gibby some treats that would be a little harder and crunchier for his teeth.

    Anyone have any recipes?

     I've made these several times and they come out quite hard... think that's because they dry out just sitting for a couple hours. One of the tips I found when a recipe calls for meat juices, I add a jar of baby food to the hot water (just check for onions) most of the plain chicken or beef I get are fine.

     

     Cheese Nuggets

    Servings: 10
    1 cup Uncooked Oatmeal
    1 1/2 cup Hot Water or Meat Juices
    4 oz (1 cup) Grated Cheese
    1 Egg, Beaten
    1 cup Wheat Germ
    1/4 cup Margarine
    1/2 cup Powdered Milk
    1/4 tbsp Salt
    1 cup Cornmeal
    3 cup Whole Wheat Flour

    In large bowl pour hot water over oatmeal and margarine: let stand for 5 minutes.
     Stir in powdered milk, grated cheese, salt and egg. Add cornmeal and wheat germ.
    Mix well. Add flour, 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    Knead 3 or 4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very stiff dough.
    Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into bone shaped biscuits and place
    on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees.
    Turn off heat and leave in oven for 1 1/2 hours or longer.
    Makes approximately 2 1/4 pounds.
