To Owners Feeding Anything Cold

Many of the recipes offered for Dog Goodies are frozen treats. In summer, even when the external temperatures are very high, giving too many frozen goodies—especially to our smaller friends—can be very threatening. According to a vet who has worked in veterinary medicine since 1982, there was once a standard Dachshund (about 28 lbs.) that came into the hospital shaking and lethargic. When they investigated, the owner said she'd been feeding him ice cubes because "he loves them." Love them dogs might, but reduce their core temperature they can! Just use lots of good sense and a little caution.

Rover's Rewards: By Adam M.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup hot water or meat juices
  • 1/2 cup powdered milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup margarine
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

In a large bowl, pour hot water or meat juices over margarine. Stir in powdered milk and egg. Add flour, a little at a time mixing well after each addition. Knead on floured surface until you get a smooth dough and one that can be rolled out. Roll into 1/2" thickness and cut out with biscuit cutter or knife into desired shapes. Bake on greased baking sheets at 325F. for 50 minutes. Allow to cool and dry out until hard.

Doggie Brownies: By Alex Saufert

This recipe makes a lot of brownies so keep any leftovers (should there be any) in the freezer because they spoil very easily.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. of liver, beef or chicken
  • 1 C whole wheat flour
  • 4.25 oz. jar fresh minced or crushed garlic
  • 2 C white flour
  • 1/2 C cornmeal
  • 1 med shaker of grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with foil, coat with cooking spray, sprinkle lightly with cornmeal and set aside. Process liver and garlic in food processor or blender until it looks like milk chocolate. Pour into large mixing bowl and blend in the rest of the ingredients. Spread evenly onto cookie sheet (the mixture will be thick) and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Bake until no pink is left. I usually bake them for about 30 minutes for one pan and then turn the oven off but leave the brownies inside until they are cool. Cut in pieces and be ready to be loved by your dog(s). I have yet to meet a dog that doesn't like SLBs and I think that this is about the greatest bait on earth.... Enjoy!!!

Doggie Jell-O

Ingredients

  • 1 package of Jell-O and flavor (cherry works best)
  • 1 chopped banana
  • 1 chopped apple
  • 1 sliced orange
  • 1 chopped pear
  • 2-3 chopped strawberries

Directions

Follow the directions for the Jell-O; you will find them on the back or somewhere on the Jell-O box. After you have the Jell-O ready, mix the fruit in the Jell-O mix. Put in the fridge until Jell-O is firm. You can add different kinds of fruit, just have fun with it. When Jell-O is firm you and your dog can enjoy a bowl!!
