Home made dog treats

I have a similar recipe for liver cake.


A pack of liver (supermarket packs are usually about 500 grams)
About 250 grams of flour - I use gluten free as some dogs are gluten intolerant
1 egg
A slosh of olive oil or salmon oil for a glossy coat (optional)

Cut the liver into pieces and use a hand blender to blitz it with the egg until it's a sloppy mess. Stir in the oil if using and the flour. It still should be a sloppy mess.

Turn into a parchment lined baking tray measuring about 6"x9". It shold be about an inch deep.

Bake at 170 degrees for about 15 minutes until a knife comes out clean.

When it's cold, cut into kit kat finger sized pieces - half them again for a smaller dog - and freeze them in a freezer bag. They freeze in separate pieces so you can take out one at a time and break into smaller pieces for training.

Dogs love it, it has no sugar, salt or other nasties and lasts for weeks. It also is cheap to make - a recent survey showed some dog treats to be more epensive, ounce for ounce, than fillet steak!

 

Other good additions to basic recipes are coconut oil, turmeric (organic turmeric with a little black pepper is supposed to have health benefits) and ground star anise, which gives an aniseed smell that dogs often love.

I really should do some more dog-treat baking. The last time I made liver cake I didn't puree it enough and the flour still had lumps in, so it was so crumbly it just turned into powder in my treat bag Jasper still liked it though!
