I have a yen to make homemade dog biscuits. I spent way too much time on the internets last night looking up recipes without wheat flour (gives my dog eye goo) when I realized I should simply ask the experts first. I am hoping to incorporate pumpkin, and of course I want to use dog bone cookie cutter shapes.
Haven't made this one myself but it was in our foster newsletter this month.
2 lbs. ground turkey
2 Eggs
2 cups cooked rice
8 oz. peas
3 carrots, diced
1 apple, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In
a large mixing bowl combine all
ingredients, mix well by hand. On
a large cookie sheet form into
the shape of a large dog biscuit.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool and serve .

Reminder about fresh garlic ... that amount is fine in that quantity of mixture, but just reminding folks that fresh garlic (all alliums, onions being by far the most toxic) are potentially toxic to dogs.... so we don't want to think "Oh, let's double or triple that garlic" ....
Not to derail this thread. We have many others* on the topic.

Meredith, what about oatmeal or oat flour?
I put oats in the meat loaves I made Oscar this week - if I were making more of a cookie, I'd probably want something finer, like flour, but for my purposes, it's perfect. I'm not sure if you feed kibble or raw, but I know people who use all the crumbs from the bottom of empty kibble bags as a sort of flour replacement in treat recipes - assuming you saved it up in sizable quantity, though I guess you could grind up kibbles into crumbs too...
Juliana, that recipe looks very wet - again, like the meat loaves I make Oscar - do they bake up crispy enough to store like dry cookies? Ingredients all look yummy though!
I have a tip! if you use peanut butter in your recipe, make sure there is NO moisture left in the container... leave the top off if you can, otherwise they get moldy. my seasonal job right now is selling gourmet dog treats, and all of them are shelf stable for 4 months, except if the peanut butter ones are too moist, they will grow mold.
