No-Bake Dog Treats?

Posted : 1/18/2007 3:09:58 PM

*Sigh* My oven isn't working (hasn't been working for a few months now) and I really want to make some dog treats. However, every recipe has something about baking in it.

Anyone know of any dog treats I can make with:
Microwave
George Foreman Grill
Stove Top
Toaster
Freezer

Any ideas would be great, Thanks!

How about:

Brown Rice Treats – 16 servings

1/2   cup Peanut butter
1/2   cup Honey
1/2   cup Chopped nuts
1/2   tsp   Vanilla extract
1/2   tsp   Cinnamon
2      cup Puffed rice cereal, brown rice type
Mix [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=992&r=37386]peanut[/link] [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=1626&r=37386]butter[/link], [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=1244&r=37386]honey[/link], nuts, [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=120&r=37386]vanilla[/link] & [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=1513&r=37386]cinnamon[/link] together in a bowl. Add the cereal; stir very gently until the cereal is well coated.
Place a dish of water near the bowl with the coated cereal mixture. With wet hands, form the mixture into balls the size of [linkhttp://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/g.cgi?g=681&r=37386]walnuts[/link] & place on a lightly greased tray, or on waxed paper. An alternate method is to lightly greased a 7" x 10" or an 8" x 8" pan and pat the mixture into it; cut into squares.
Notes: Heat the peanut butter & honey up briefly in the microwave to thin them a little.

More of a summer treat, but I've made doggy Jello jigglers.

I just used unflavored gelatin, and meat broth, instead of water, and cut them out with cookie cutters, after they cooled. The faces the dogs made eating them were hilarious.

my dog loves these...

fill the cups of an ice cube tray halfway with plain yogurt, freeze. once frozen put a dab of peanut butter in them and fill the rest of the way up with yogurt. freeze. you could make little cottage cheese treats in the same way too. pretty much any liquidy type dog-safe substances could be used.

Thanks so much everyone!

We're going to have a fun weekend in store, seeing as how we will probably be snowed in for most of it, at least we'll have something fun to do.

Thanks again!

stir-fry or microwave small chunks of meat or liver.

I do!
These my dogs loved but they were sort of big so once they were frozen I had to cut them down a bit. But on [linkhttp://www.thepoop.com/pooppantry/default.asp]http://www.thepoop.com/pooppantry/default.asp[/link] you should be able to find a lot of treats you can make without using the oven.

Anyway, what I made was the;
Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Treats

1 - 33oz. container of vanilla yogurt
1 cup of peanut butter

1. put the peanut butter in the microwave, in a safe dish until melted.
2. mix the yogurt and peanut butter in a bowl.
3. pour mixture into cupcake papers and freeze.

Hope they love them! [

One of our dogs favorite treats are dehydrated hot dogs. We buy the lowest sdium hot dogs on the market and slice them about the thickness of a fingernail. Line a paper plate with paper towels, and spread the hot dog slices in a single layer. Our microwave needs to be set to power of 5 (you'll have to watch the first batch as microwaves vary in power), then we cook them for about 10 minutes, until they're brown and leather-like. We keep a few out and refrigerate the rest, just as a precaution. They last about a week out of the fridge and the whole batch lasts about 2 months.
