I recently baked a zillion dog biscuits, only to learn that the wheat bulger was potentially harmful to my pup. This is disappointing since I thought I finally found something that I could bake that would not put weight on ME...
A) Are there any safe substitutions for wheat and cornmeal?
B) Do either of the following concoctions contain ingredients that should be avoided? (There was a link to an article on puppy feeding on the forum 'homepage' but it did not link anywhere).
RECIPE #1:
1 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 Tbsp molasses -- unsulphered
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons safflower oil
since you made all these biscuts you can't use put some iceing on them, and send them to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'll eat them!
So cheese would be better? I will go get some cheese. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

You probably want a dry food (for your pocket, etc.), making little pieces of meat or chicken and the like non-practical. There are two commercial treats I think are good: One is nothing but freeze-dried liver and the other is the same thing with chewy dried pieces of chicken. Of course, they are not cheap -- especially compared to the grain-based treats.
Treats are a small part of the diet, but it's still great (IMO) if you can take the time to make homemade -- and it sure can save some money!
Also, if you Google B.A.R.F. TRAINING TREATS, there are many more.
QUOTE: Liver is a well loved food. Try dehydrating it in your oven for the ultimate training treat. Bake at about 175 for several hours or overnight till it's dry but still leathery. Break into little pieces and freeze. It will defrost quickly and makes outstanding training bits. You can do the same with chicken giblets. Hearts and gizzards dry very well and there's no cutting up! END QUOTE

My holistic vet/chiropractor got new treats. She's always carried a variety of freeze dried items (the dogs go nuts for fish, and it isn't as rich as liver). Recently, though, she started offering freeze dried tripe! They are perfect pocket treats (although they are quite potently stinky) and you can break off teeny tiny pieces.
I like the freeze dried treats, because they are clean, easy to break into tiny pieces, and are not chewy...the dog can consume them very quickly.
