Bow-Wow Biscuits

• Whole wheat flour
• Yeast that is nutritional
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Slight salt
• Milk, preferably skimmed milk

Mix the whole wheat flour, yeast, baking powder and baking soda, as well as the salt together. Then add the milk, kneading the mixture to prepare the dough to be baked. Once you have a fluffy dough ready roll it out flat and cut into smaller pieces. Place these pieces of the dough into the baking dish. Put it in the oven for about twenty minutes, setting it at 450 degree F.

You can also add o the mixture some peanut butter or cheese to make it more tasty.

Meow Biscuits

2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. powdered skim milk
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg, beaten

Flavoring: Meat drippings, broth or water from canned tuna (enough to make a stiff dough)

Combine flour, powdered milk and garlic powder in a medium sized bowl. Add beaten egg, flavoring and mix well with hands. Dough should be very stiff. If necessary add more flavoring. On a well-floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with shaped cookie cutters of your choice. Place biscuits on cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Doggie Treats [makes 4 dozen]

1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup margarine
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
3 cups whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, margarine, and boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes. Grease cookie sheets. Thoroughly stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, Cheddar cheese, and egg. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a stiff dough has formed. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, mixing in additional flour as necessary until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with cookie cutter (I prefer bone shaped), and place 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool before serving. Store in a loosely covered container.

Banana Bites {yummy and healthy]

3 cups oatmeal
1-1/4 cup of flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
2 mashed bananas

Mix all the wet ingredients together first (oil, honey, milk, and bananas), and then add the flour and oatmeal until you have a smooth batter. Put older kids in charge of measuring and younger ones in charge of mixing. Everyone can help pour the batter onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, and then bake at 325 degrees (160 degrees Celsius) for 25 minutes. Once your banana bites are cool to the touch, use a knife or pizza cutter to slice them into small, bite-sized squares. Dogs really go bananas for these yummy snacks, but don't let your pet eat too many, as they can be fattening. Particularly if your dog is prone to pudginess, be sure to limit him to just a few treats per day. Banana bites can also be used as incentive to exercise or do tricks. Keep them in the refrigerated until your dog does something treat-worthy.

Homemade Dog Biscuits

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken stock, plus more for brushing

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt; set aside

2. Place oil in a large bowl. Add stock and flour mixture in three alternating batches, beginning and ending with stock. Mix well.

3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a dog-bone-shaped cookie cutter or by cutting around a store-bought dog bone with a butter knife.(Make biscuits that are appropriate for your dog's size.)

4. If desired, you can spell out your dog's name or a holiday message in the dough with a toothpick (wet the toothpick first so it won't stick).

5. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.

6. Bake biscuits 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets, and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven, leaving door closed. Let dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Wrap as a gift, or store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Buckwheat Bone Biscuits [kid friendly]

If you've always wanted to make your own doggie biscuits, this simple recipe is perfect for you and your kids.

3-1/2 cups of buckwheat flour
1-1/2 cups of rolled oats
1/2 cup of ground beef
1/4 cup of olive oil 1 cup of water
Pinch of salt
1 egg

As each item is measured, let your kids take turns adding it to the mixing bowl (everything goes in at once). Next comes the fun part: kneading. Children are great at this. Let them go crazy with the dough – the thicker the better. The easiest way to make these biscuits into the shape of bones is to use a bone-shaped cookie cutter, which you can find in a variety of pet supply stores. Alternatively, you could carve the bones fairly easily with a knife. For the latter approach, it will help to make a bone pattern from paper or cardboard to guide the knife. You'll get uniform shapes that way. One you've formed your beefy buckwheat biscuits and placed them on a cookie or baking sheet, all that's left is to bake them at 375 degrees (190 degrees Celsius) for about 30 minutes. Here's a tip for making your biscuits (and just about any oven-baked doggie snack) hard and crunchy instead of soft and chewy: Once they're done baking, allow them to cool for a few hours in the turned-off oven.
