Quick Dog Treats


Many of us can barely find the time to feed ourselves given our busy schedules, much less to make homemade snacks for our pets. When you don't have time for mixing, rolling, and cutting your own dog biscuits, try this quick and easy recipe, which uses just two ingredients. Wheat germ is a great source of Vitamin E, and organic baby food is widely available - try meat or vegetable flavors for variety. If time is not limited, you can puree your own organic meats and vegetables. We always kept a supply of these treats in a pretty glass jar on the counter for Gertrude and Jordan, since some experts feel that toxins from plastic containers can leach into food.


1 cup organic wheat germ
2 small jars organic baby food

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with butter or a little oil. Combine the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet and flatten them with the back of a fork.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Variation: Try adding 1 tablespoon pureed garlic to ward off fleas, or 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal for a shiny coat.
