FiveRoooooers Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Oh dear, like a proper recipe with measurements and so on? I wing it because I make these in pretty big batches, but can give ingredients and instructions. Raw beef, pork or chicken liver at least 2 pounds Whole eggs in the shell, 2 or 3 for every 2 pounds of liver Olive or safflower oil, 1/3 cup Shredded cheddar (or other) cheese, weight from half to equal the weight of liver Touch of honey or molasses A light touch of garlic powder if desired White flour -- start with 3-4 cups Wheat germ -- start with at least 1 cup Baking powder, a teaspoon per cup of flour Preheat oven to 325 F. Blenderize the liver, eggs, cheese, honey and oil until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, wheat germ and baking powder (all fo which we have given our best guess at). Add the liquid slowly to the dry ingredients and stir to mix. Keep adding flour and wheat germ until the mix starts to stiffen. Use a flat cookie/baking sheet (not Teflon). By hand (you can oil your hands to make this easier), roll the dough into 3/4" balls and arrange on baking sheet (they won't spread and can be placed quite closely). Once a sheet is full, bake until outside of each ball is firm, dry and has just started to brown. Let cool completely and place in airtight container. Treats should keep up to a month in the fridge or six months in the freezer. How'd I do?! I make these every few months as well as oven-dried "just" beef liver treats. Perfect, thank you! Not silly at all. A dog who eats good food when she should -- priceless . This. When momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers.

galgrey Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Our EZ is a horrible eater.... He will actually notice if I try to slip the tiniest extra bit of kibble into his daily amount.....Sometimes on a day when he is eating well, I'll heap the scoop a bit...and it's like he knows. Cruz is my picky eater and he does exactly the same thing! If I sneak in a little extra, he will leave that exact amount in his bowl! How DO they know? Canned tripe mixed in works pretty well for him. He likes Solid Gold better than Tripett. Last week I bought a can of Kiwi Peak tripe (lamb and venison) and he's completely mad for it right now. Won't last long though.

And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
