Breakfast Casserole for Canines
Submitted by Prince (5/17/06)
This casserole contains just the right proportions of carbs, fat, and protein for your pooch’s health.If
your dog is taking medication in pill or liquid form, this rich breakfast can easily camouflage them from suspicious snouts!

1
package refrigerated crescent rolls
250 ml (1 cup) mozzarella cheese
60 ml (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
100 ml (1/3
cup) whole wheat flour
250 ml (1 cup) chicken broth
200 ml (3/4 cup) water
100 ml (1/3 cup) dry milk
480 ml (2
cups) chopped ham (cooked)
360 ml (1.5 cups) frozen hash browns
6 chopped hard-boiled eggs

Cooking

stirring constantly. Fold in ham, hash browns, and eggs, then pour over the crust. Bake at 190ºC (375ºF) for 25 minutes and
cool thoroughly before serving to your pup.

Fishy Fudge Treats
Submitted by Gio (9/19/06)
Here is a recipe that I just love!
Good things about it: They are soft so good for training treats or
pups with bad teeth. And they keep well in the fridge.
Bad things about it: They STINK!! Don't invite company over they
day you are baking these goodies!
2 sm cans of tuna in water (not drained) OR 1 lge can salmon (not drained)
2
eggs
1 t Garlic powder or crushed garlic
1 1/2 C flour
parm cheese (optional)
1. Blend fish, garlic, and eggs
in a blender
2. Put flour in a bowl and mix in liquid from the blender
3. Mix until texture is putty-like. You may need
to add a bit of water.
4. Spread in greased pan and sprinkle parm cheese on top
5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes
Note:
If after 15 minutes, they are still too sticky, cut into squares and bake for a few more minutes. Then turn them out of the
pan onto a cookie sheet and bake for a few more minutes to dry them out some more. The parm cheese tends to be a bit flaky
so if you want something less messy omit the parm. This recipe can be adapted, using the general idea as a base. Pooch not
a fan of fish? Try poultry livers (not beef, they have a hard membrane that isn't appreciated by blender motors)! Add in some
peanut butter or whatever your pooch likes best. Enjoy!

Skunk Odor
Submitted by Bandit *Fur Angel* (12/4/06)
1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup of baking soda
1 teaspoon of liquid soap
When mixed,
the ingredients in this recipe form an alkaline peroxide, which chemically changes the skunk essence into sulfuric acid (a
completely odorless chemical). The soap helps break down the skunk essence making it more susceptible to the other chemical.
Mix the ingredients in an open plastic or stainless steel container and bathe the animal in the solution. Rinse
well and repeat if necessary. This mixture is rather volatile, so do not store already mixed or the bottle or jug
will explode.
LOWFAT RECIPES
Bullet's Chicken Recipe (Submitted by Bullet 11/11/06)
6 chicken pieces (or whole cut up chicken. Mom trims the fat off before using it)
9 carrots,
peeled and cut in half (I like carrots)
4 small potaotes, peeled & cubed
4 cups rice, uncooked (sometimes mom uses
Quinoa, too)
Spices to taste
Place chicken pieces in large pot.
Cover with cold water (10 -12 cups). Add carrots,
and potatoes to water. Cover and simmer on low heat about 2 hours until the chicken becomes tender. Add the rice,
cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove
soup from heat. Pull the chicken meat off the bone ( if will practically fall off), discard bones. Return shredded pieces
to pot. Stir well. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator or freeze

Barley Beef Biscuits - corn, wheat and yeast free!
Submitted by Gibbon (10/25/06)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons parsley
2 cups beef broth
2 cups barley flour
3-4 cups
rye flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil (extra-virgin
olive oil is more expensive, but lower grade olive oils are blended with other vegetable oils that may contain corn or soy),
and parsley. Heat the beef broth (it's best to make your own, canned or condensed broths have added salt, sugars, and preservatives)
or water until steaming and add to the olive oil mixture . Stir in barley flour and let cool until lukewarm -- or cool enough
to work with. Gradually blend in rye flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.
Transfer to a floured (rye flour)
surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Use the
cookie cutter of your choice (we prefer to make small bones) or cut into small squares. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets,
spacing them about 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake
for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. After
you finish baking all batches of biscuits, turn off the oven, spread all the biscuits in one baking pan and set them in the
oven to cool for a few hours or overnight. The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crunchier.
Makes
several dozen small treats that keep and freeze well.

Hypoallergenic Dog treats
Submitted by Gibbon (2/3/07)
this is another one that should work well although some aren't crazy about using tuna.
Maybe you can substitute it for salmon or mackerel.
1 small can tuna in water
1 cup oat flour*
1 tsp. garlic
powder
Do not drain tuna. Dump in bowl and mash tuna well with fork. Mix in remaining ingredients. Roll into small
(nickel-sized) balls and flatten or roll out and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Cook on cookie sheet in 350 degree
oven for 25 minutes for soft treats or cook in the microwave on high for 1-2 minutes for crunchy treats. Store soft treats
in freezer.
*you can make your own oat flour by grinding up rolled oats
LIVER TREATS
(this is wheat, soy, corn and dairy free)
Submitted by Peet (2/23/06)
1.5 lbs
chicken livers (can use less, but I had to use them up)
2 cups Brown Rice Flour
2 cups Oatmeal Flour
(You
just need enough flour to make the mix firm; should be able to spread it on a baking sheet...like icing a cake)
2 Eggs
(the
rest of the ingredients are optional)
1 TBS Garlic Powder
Handful of chopped Parsley
Preheat oven to
350. Processs livers, parsley, garlic and eggs in a food processor/blender until smooth. Mix in Flour until thick enough to
spread. Spread mix on a baking sheet...I spread it about 1/4 inch thick, but you can make it thicker. Pop in oven for about
30 -40 min. - until it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove and break/cut into bite size pieces. You can go ahead
and refrigerate/freeze them now...I popped them back in the oven at 200 degrees for about 30 more min then let them cool in
there...they dried out a little more and got a little crisper, but I don't think it makes that much difference...especially
after they are refrigerated.
!This recipe made A LOT of treats b/c of the amount of chicken livers I used...so I would
definitely reduce the amounts if you don't want a bunch of liver treats sitting in the fridge. At least I have plenty of treats
for clicker training :)
Wheatfree Salmon Treats (version I)
Submitted by Bullet
(9/21/06)
8 ounce can salmon, with juice
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs, shells
included
1/2 cup sesame seeds, ground up in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds, ground up in coffee grinder
2 to
3 cups potato flour
Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening
while the motor is running. When the dough forms like a pie crust and rolls into a ball, it is ready to take out.
Dump
onto a potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into this until it is the consistency of a cookie dough. Roll out
into a 14-inch long sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut long strips and then cut crosswise to make small squares. If you want
FANCY treats, you may use a cookie cutter, instead.
Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed a non-stick cooking spray, or lined
with parchment paper. Bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake for 10 more
minutes.
You can make them as soft or as hard as you want.
