    Ace likes the Zeke's too.
     
    But, usually we just use real food -- tiny cubes of cheese, chicken, or steak, whatever I have around.  (You could use hot dogs too, I just never have those in the house).  I cut them up (fingernail-size pieces for a medium-size dog) and store them in a baggie in the fridge.  He loves them!

    potato flour???
    Can you buy that in a grocery store or do I have to go somewhere else to buy it??


    I get it at the health food store. We carry all SORTS of flours there. My next experiment will probably involve coconut flour. I've used garbanzo bean flour, fava bean flour, and probably three or four more. I'm looking for the one I like the best.

    Be warned, they are expensive[;)]

    I'm here to report that the homemade liver treats are not all hard to make, don't smell too bad when baking (mainly garlicky) and the dogs are absolutely ga-ga over them.

    1 lb. raw liver
    2 c. any kind of flour
    1 tbs. garlic powder
    And I think the recipe I used called for 2/3 c. olive or canola oil.

    This makes a LOT of treats if you cut them up small. I've got a gallon ziploc in the freezer full of them now. They STINK like garlic and liver and the dogs can smell them from about a mile away.
