FAT BALLS</p>
<p>2 C Tomatoes-puree in blender, 2 C Green Beans-puree in<br />
blender, l pound Liver-puree in blender, and cook: 3 C<br />
Cooked Elbow Macaroni, 4 C Cooked Rice, 4 Egg Yolks, 1/3<br />
Jar of Honey, 1 C Corn Oil, 1/3 jar Wheat Germ, 2-3 pounds<br />
Raw Hamburger. Mix all ingredients and add Chex Cereal or<br />
Oatmeal to bind together. Make &#8220;meatballs&#8221; out of mixture<br />
and freeze. Thaw and microwave individual meatballs as<br />
needed.</p>
<p>Satin Balls</p>
<p>* Cheap hamburger meat [high fat content}<br />
* Lg box of Total Cereal<br />
* Lg box of uncooked oatmeal<br />
* 1 jar of Wheat Germ<br />
* 1 1/4 cup of veg oil<br />
* 1 1/4 cup of unflavored molasses<br />
* 10 eggs<br />
* 10 pks of unflavored gelatin<br />
* Garlic to Taste<br />
* 1 cup of flaxseed...ground up.<br />
* 2 scoops of Source/Kelp<br />
Take all dry ingredients and place in a bowl. I crunch up<br />
the total while still in the box, and then pour all the<br />
other dry ingredients over it In a another large bowl put<br />
the hamburger meat and the wet ingredients. Mix each bowl<br />
well, then half each so that it is easier to mix. Mix just<br />
like you would a meatloaf I then take it raw, and place in<br />
freezer bags and put in the freezer, thaw out a bag as<br />
needed. feed raw. I use this not only as a quick weight<br />
gain, but as a everyday supplement for my dogs this recipe<br />
has been tested and analyzed by several universities and<br />
was found to be a total canine diet a dog could live on<br />
this without added kibble or any other supplements...this<br />
was before I added the Garlic and the Flaxseed and Kelp I<br />
have long hair black dogs, and this recipe really keeps<br />
their coat black/soft/long since I have...the past 6<br />
months I have had no vet bills...and my dogs coats are<br />
wonderful, you need to watch how much you feed it will put<br />
weight on a slim dog in a matter of a few days. It will<br />
also make an easy keeper fat in just a short period of<br />
time. Try it, your dogs will love it!!! One other thing, I<br />
have just started to add Kelp to it also, just for the<br />
added Iodine, may be good for those dogs that have a lower<br />
normal thyroid function. You can make this recipe in what<br />
ever amount you need/want by just halving the recipe down<br />
to what you want.</p>
<p>Magic Meatballs<br />
* 1 lb. Hamburger<br />
* 2 cups Dry Kibble<br />
* 1/4 cup Honey<br />
* 1/4 cup Wheat germ oil<br />
* 1/4 cup Linatone or other<br />
Grind Kibble in food processor or blender. Mix all<br />
ingredients together &amp; freeze.</p>
<p>Doggie Liver Dip<br />
* 1 lb. beef liver<br />
* 2 cups beef bouillon<br />
* 1 tsp. garlic powder<br />
* 1 16-oz. container plain yogurt<br />
Cut liver into chunks. Cover with bouillon and simmer<br />
until completely cooked; drain. Put liver and remaining<br />
ingredients in food processor. Blend until smooth. If<br />
necessary, add reserved bouillon or water to achieve<br />
desired consistency. Refrigerate immediately. Use within<br />
3-4 days.<br />
Serve with raw carrots, celery, or pieces of dog biscuits.<br />
Alternately, use to stuff cooked marrow bones.</p>
<p><a id="Meals" title="Meals" name="Meals"></a><strong>Meals</strong></p>
<p>German Shepherd Dog Pie<br />
* 6 oz broth<br />
* 8 oz meat scraps<br />
* 1 cup whole wheat flour<br />
* 8 oz dog meal<br />
Grease a pan and spread half the meat in it. Sprinkle the<br />
meat generously with whole wheat flour. Spread remaining<br />
half of meat into pan. Sprinkle again with whole wheat<br />
flour. Cover with dog meal and pour broth over. Bake at<br />
150C for 45 minutes and then allow to cool. Feed warm.<br />
Vegetables and cheese can be added depending on your dogs<br />
taste.</p>
<p>German Shepherd Casserole<br />
* 500gms of any meat<br />
* 1 carrot finely chopped<br />
* 1 small potato finely chopped<br />
* 1 stick celery finely chopped<br />
* 1/2 cup sliced green beans (string less)<br />
* 1 tbsn Gravox<br />
Place all ingredients into a large casserole dish. Cover<br />
with water and mix. Place lid on casserole. Microwave on<br />
High for 10 minutes and then Medium for 10 minutes. This<br />
should be cooked at least an hour before feeding so that<br />
it is well cooled.</p>
<p>Scrambled Eggs Doggie Style</p>
<p>* 1 cup dry dog food<br />
* 3 eggs<br />
* 1/2 cup ground hamburger<br />
* any other ingredients your dog may fancy.<br />
Mix eggs, hamburger, and any other ingredients. Scramble.<br />
Pour over dry dog food.</p>
<p>Akita Style Lamb &amp; Rice<br />
* 1lb ground lamb (beef if you wish)<br />
* 1 1/2 cups brown rice<br />
* 2 stalks Broccoli<br />
* 2 or 3 medium potatoes<br />
* 3 medium carrots<br />
* 4 cloves garlic<br />
* 1 sheet kombu, Sea Kelp (optional)<br />
Brown lamb in a fry pan. After it gets going, put on the<br />
chopped garlic to brown. Boil water, put about 4-5 cups<br />
into a crock pot, so it is already hot while you are<br />
fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to<br />
the frypan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put<br />
the rest of the works in the pot, add enough hot water to<br />
cover. Add pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2 cup brown rice<br />
and mix.</p>
<p>Katie Cudlin's Dog Food<br />
A bit about the following recipe...Katie is a friend of<br />
mine with two very gorgeous and healthy German Shepherds.<br />
Katie follows the idea that your dog's diet should be<br />
composed of about 30% fresh and raw (i.e., unprocessed)<br />
foods because processed food has had the enzymes and<br />
micro-nutrients cooked out. Katie cooks this up about once<br />
a month.<br />
* 8 cups oats<br />
* 2 cups brown rice<br />
* 6 Cups barley<br />
* 2 lbs. carrots finely grated<br />
* 3-4 bunches broccoli - grate stems, chop flowerets<br />
* 6 zucchini grated or 1 lb. green beans chopped<br />
* 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped<br />
* 4-5 cloves garlic, minced<br />
Use 8 quart stock pots. Cook oats. In another pot, cook<br />
brown rice and barley. Cool (to save time, cook in evening<br />
and cool overnight). Next day: Cut vegetables - use food<br />
processor. Using rubber gloves, combine all ingredients in<br />
a 25 quart stock pot. Shape into balls about 1/4 lb. each.<br />
Wrap and freeze.<br />
This recipe can be easily scaled down for smaller batches.</p>
<p>Home Cooking<br />
This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who<br />
want to feed well balanced home cooked food.<br />
* approx. 5 lbs of ground beef or chicken<br />
* 3/4 cup canola oil<br />
* 4-5 cloves garlic<br />
* 32 cups water<br />
* 8-10 cups processed veggies (various)<br />
* (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts,<br />
potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers, spinach, beets,<br />
lettuce, tomatoes, etc.)<br />
* NO ONIONS (not good for dogs)<br />
* 2-3 cans kidney beans<br />
* 1/2 molasses (optional)<br />
* 42-45 oz oatmeal (quick cooking oats)<br />
* eggs can be added to boost protein<br />
In a large 24qt pot brown ground meat, add canola oil and<br />
garlic. When well cooked, add water. Bring to boil, then<br />
add veggies that have been processed, (frozen or canned<br />
veggies will work too). I use dried kidney beans and soak<br />
them the night before preparing a batch of food. While I<br />
am cooking the meat I have the beans in another pot<br />
cooking them. Once cooked, they are added to the above<br />
mixture. Next, the oatmeal is added. Frequent stirring is<br />
necessary at this point as the mixture will stick. Remove<br />
from heat, cool and put into containers. The above mixture<br />
feeds 3 Boxers for 1 week. I occasionally add pumpernickel<br />
bread and some times substitute brown rice for some of the<br />
oatmeal. This recipe is very flexible. I also add a<br />
mixture called Healthy powder to each meal. I feed twice<br />
daily and add 1 tsp of healthy powder to each meal for<br />
each dog.</p>
<p>Auggie's Wolfdown<br />
* 16-qt stew pot with cover<br />
* enough olive oil to coat bottom of pot<br />
* 5-6 lbs. ground beef<br />
* 2 50-oz cans chicken broth<br />
* 4 cups water<br />
* 1 3-lb bag frozen corn<br />
* 1 3-lb bag brown rice<br />
Brown ground beef in olive oil. When beef is cooked, add<br />
broth, water, and corn. (Note that broth and water amount<br />
to just over a gallon of liquid; you can also just dump in<br />
a gallon jug of water and add a bunch of bouillon cubes.)<br />
Bring to a boil. Add brown rice, stir well, cover, and<br />
bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer,<br />
covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool<br />
overnight. Makes approximately 40-45 cups of food.<br />
I divide the yield into generous 2-cup portions and freeze<br />
most of it (it freezes well). I always have some thawed in<br />
the fridge and microwave it for a minute or so to get it<br />
to room temperature. I then serve it as follows:</p>
<p>Breakfast<br />
* 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown<br />
* 1 cup high-quality all-natural kibble</p>
<p>Dinner<br />
* 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown<br />
* 1 cup fresh shredded veggies<br />
* 2-3 times a week: a little nonfat plain yogurt and an<br />
egg yolk<br />
Auggie was a reluctant eater with commercial foods; now<br />
he's a tail-waggin', dish-movin', food inhalation machine.<br />
Bon appetite!</p>
<p>Leftovers Stew<br />
* Any dog safe leftovers<br />
* 2 eggs<br />
* milk (as much as your dog prefers)<br />
* dog food (you won't need too much )<br />
Cut up leftovers into pieces. Be sure there are no tiny<br />
bones. Use as much as you want. Mix in two raw eggs. Poor<br />
in milk. Use as much as you want. Mix together, and heat<br />
in microwave for 20-30 sec. ( or serve cold ) Poor over<br />
dog food.</p>
<p>Grrrrisotto<br />
* olive oil<br />
* sesame oil<br />
* 1 potato, peeled and finely chopped<br />
* 3-4 button mushrooms, cut into quarters or sliced<br />
* 50g/2 oz cooked whole grain rice<br />
* 50g/2 oz canned sweet corn<br />
* 75 g/3 oz cooked chicken, in strips or chunks<br />
* 39 g/2 tbsp plain yogurt<br />
Heat the oil, throw in the potato pieces, and sauté until<br />
translucent. Add the mushrooms, and keep stirring while<br />
adding the rice and the sweet corn. Next add the chicken,<br />
stirring a little longer; reduce the heat to low. Keep<br />
stirring for a further 2-3 minutes. Lastly stir in the<br />
yogurt, reduce the heat to very low. Continue to stir for<br />
1 more minute. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, lifting off<br />
the lid and stirring briefly every minute or so. Allow to<br />
cool completely. Sprinkle sesame oil on top of food<br />
(optional).</p>
<p>Snobben´s Chili<br />
* chunks of meat<br />
* chili beans i beans<br />
* can of crushed tomatoes<br />
* garlic<br />
* chili pepper<br />
* jalapeno peppers<br />
* bell peppers<br />
* beer<br />
Soak the beans in water overnight. Fry the meat in oil<br />
with peppers and spices. Pour in some beer. Put in the<br />
beans and fill up with water and a can crushed tomatoes.<br />
Leave to slowly boil until meat and beans are almost<br />
dissolved.<br />
Serve with corn chips.</p>
<p>CANINE/HUMAN CORN BREAD<br />
* 1 cup Cornmeal<br />
* 1 cup All-Purpose flour<br />
* 4 tsps. Baking powder<br />
* 1 cup Milk<br />
* 1 Egg, beaten<br />

Combine dry ingredients. Add liquids and beat until<br />
smooth. Pour into a greased, 8" square baking pan. Bake in<br />
a preheated 425F. oven 15-20 minutes. Yield: 16 (2")<br />
squares.</p>
<p>LIVER CORNBREAD</p>
<p>Substitute pureed beef liver for milk in an otherwise<br />
standard packet of corn bread. Follow packet directions,<br />
except that it takes less time to bake. Variations: use<br />
chicken liver or ground turkey or chicken instead of beef<br />
liver; use up to 1 lb of beef liver instead of 2/3 cup;<br />
add an egg; add garlic; add extra oil. Highly perishable,<br />
so cut into pieces and freeze. Very rich, a little goes a<br />
long way.<br />
Mint Rice Hamburger<br />
* 5 cups of uncooked rice<br />
* 10 cups of water<br />
* 2 pounds low fat hamburger<br />
* 5 tbs dried mint<br />
Bring rice to a boil. Add hamburger and mint. Bring back<br />
to boil. Mix well. Reduce heat to low. Cook until all<br />
water is absorbed. My golden retriever loves this meal and<br />
the mint gets rid of bad breath!</p>
<p>Pasta Hash Supreme<br />
This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who<br />
want to feed well balanced home cooked food.<br />

* 2 lbs brown rice<br />
* 32 oz Cottage cheese<br />
* 1 package chicken leg quarters<br />
* 1 lb chicken liver<br />
* 1 lb Mixed veggies (No corn, it just comes out the other<br />
end undigested so why waste the money)<br />
* Garlic<br />
* Italian seasoning<br />
Place liver and rice in pot with 2-3 cloves of garlic add<br />
water in a 2-1 ratio (2 cups water to 1 cup rice). bring<br />
to a boil. Turn down heat and cook for 40 min.<br />
Season chicken with spices and bake in oven at 400 degrees<br />
for 1 1/2-2 hours. Or till a little crispy.<br />
After chicken is done. Boil water in a large pot add<br />
pasta. Cook 8-10 Min.<br />
Dump rice and liver mix into a large container( it will<br />
need to be big enough to mix all the ingredients together.<br />
Large tupperware works great).<br />
Place frozen veggies in colander. Drain pasta over<br />
veggies.<br />
Debone chicken add to rice mix. Add pasta mix. Add cottage<br />
cheese. Stir well.<br />
Serve mixed with a little kibble or just by itself.<br />
Caution this can be a little messy with the rice kernels<br />
and cottage cheese. serve in a place that can be easily<br />
cleaned up after the pig out session.<br />
Save chicken bones and boil with a pot full of water until<br />
1/4 of the water remains. This makes a great broth for the<br />
next time you make the rice mix just substitute 1/2 the<br />
water for this rich broth. The dogs really love it.</p>

<p>Veggie Mix:<br />
* 6-8 carrots<br />
* 1/4 bag of spinach<br />
* 6-10 garlic individual cloves<br />
* 1 container alfalfa sprouts<br />
* Finely puree in a food processor. This mixture keeps<br />
well up to 2 weeks.<br />
Soak oats approximately 2 hours with enough water to<br />
cover; the amount of oats depends on the size and activity<br />
level of the dog. Add raw meat; again the amount of meat<br />
will depend on the dog. Add all ingredients; mix well.<br />
This recipe is to be daily 2x. It seems like a lot of work<br />
but I prepare the food 2 weeks in advance using Ziploc<br />
bags. I used to be an avid commercial food user but I've<br />
been cured!! The dogs' all Rotties have nicer coats, smell<br />
better, no fleas, love their food and are not finicky<br />
eaters as before. It takes a little longer daily but well<br />
worth it!</p>

TESTERS NOTE: Tessa is a 19 kilo, 6 month old Kelpie cross<br />
pup &amp; she loves it! She gobbles down half a kilo in one go<br />
every morning. I made up this recipe because I think that<br />
she deserves nothing but the best. I made up the weight<br />
reducing equivalent for any one with an overweight dog who<br />
wants to treat their dog and make them a very yummy, yet<br />
healthy meal. This recipe is cheap and easy to make.</p>
<p>Ghoulosh<br />
1 lb meat - ground beef, ground turkey, ground venison,<br />
etc.<br />
2c cooked BROWN rice<br />
2 cans veggies, or fresh veggies (about 3 cups)- broccoli,<br />
asparagus, sweet<br />
potatoes, green beans, carrots, spinach, kale<br />
2 hardboiled eggs chopped and shells crushed<br />
1 can of mackerel<br />
2 cloves of garlic, minced<br />
chicken livers or gizzards, chopped (about $1.00 worth)</p>
<p>Pulverize veggies, either in a blender, processor,<br />
grinder, etc. Mix all ingredients together in a big pot.<br />
Add enough water to cover, mix well. if you feed raw,<br />
which we do, place into containers, enough for one feeding<br />
in each, and freeze. We use plastic baggies. If you don't<br />
feed raw, cover the pot and simmer for about 2 hrs,<br />
stirring occasionally. When it is done cooking, cool, and<br />
place into containers or baggies, enough for one feeding<br />
in each and freeze. Simply get out in the morning to thaw<br />
in the fridge.<br />
Dogs get this every evening for dinner, with 1/4-1/2c<br />
kibble mixed in, depending on size of dog. **feed 1c per<br />
15 lb body weight**</p>
<p>Gravies<br />
Doggie Gravy for Dry Food<br />
* 1 Boneless/skinless Chicken Breast<br />
* 4 Cups Water<br />
* 1 Cup Flour<br />
* 2 Whole Eggs<br />
* (all items approx.)<br />
Boil chicken breast for about 1/2 an hour, remove to cool.<br />
Add flour to chicken water. Beat out lumps. Add pre-beaten<br />
eggs. Cook on low heat until it's done thickening.<br />
Pulverize chicken in food processor. Add to flour/egg<br />
gravy. May need to add more water. Unfortunately it won't<br />
freeze. But using a few tablespoons daily, it should be<br />
used up before it sours.<br />
Gravy Galore</p>
<p>* 1/2 Tin of pedigree chum<br />
* 3 small potatoes<br />
* few chopped carrots<br />
* plenty of gravy so that the food is very moist.<br />
Put your chum in then add the potatoes and carrots and<br />
mash them all together then add the gravy stirring it in<br />
as you pour. My boxer cassie has this every sunday and she<br />
absolutely loves it she cant get enough.</p>
<p><a id="Microwave" title="Microwave" name="Microwave"></a><strong>Microwave Meals &amp; Treats</strong></p>
<p>Microwave Minced Lamb with Pasta, Carrot &amp; Parsley<br />
* 1-1.5 kg of lean lamb mince (can use veal, chicken, beef<br />
or hamburger (lean) or combination)<br />
* 1 bag of vermicelli egg noodles (Nanda/Maggi is better<br />
than Vetta)<br />
* 250 g bag of grated carrot (eg from Woollies/Big<br />
Fresh)or do your own<br />
* Half a bunch of parsley<br />
* 1 clove of garlic (if very small, use 2), finely chopped<br />
or crushed<br />
* 250 mL lactose-free milk (e.g. Pets Own) or water to<br />
make a veggie puree<br />
* Half a cup of Meat-Bix (from pet shops, they get it in<br />
bulk and sell by weight).<br />
Puree the carrot and parsley with milk or water. Use a<br />
hand held blender in a beaker or tall, narrow bowl, and<br />
use as much milk or water as you need to puree with. I<br />
usually end up with 500 mL of carrot and parsley smoothie.</p>
<p>Boil some water to cook the egg noodles in.<br />
Put the mince into a covered microwave-safe dish large<br />
enough to hold all these ingredients and mix in the<br />
garlic. Cook on high for two minutes then remove and stir.<br />
Cook a further minute and stir - repeat this process until<br />
meat is cooked evenly (approx 8 minutes total).<br />
Break up egg noodles (it is easier to do this now than<br />
after they are cooked!) and cook for 3 minutes, then<br />
drain. If you use the Vetta noodles, you will definitely<br />
need to add oil to the water first, with the Nanda it<br />
doesn't seem to matter).<br />
While you are cooking the noodles, add the Meat-Bix to the<br />
cooked mince and mix well. It will absorb any liquid from<br />
the meat.<br />
Add the drained noodles to the meat mixture and mix well -<br />
if you think it needs more cooking do so now, before<br />
adding the pureed vegetables.<br />
Mix in the pureed vegetables. Divide into portions and<br />
freeze until needed.<br />
COMMENTS<br />
These quantities, if mixed half and half with dry kibble<br />
at feeding time, are enough to feed two 5-month-old<br />
maltese puppies for about two weeks.</p>
<p>Rastus' Microwaved Casserole<br />
For a small dog, but is basically one third each of meat,<br />
veggies and rice, so quantities and cooking times can<br />
easily be adjusted for larger dogs.<br />
* 1-1.5 kg meat (can use bite sized chunks of steak and<br />
kidney, chicken or lamb off the bone, or mince)<br />
* 1 soup mix fresh veggie pack (carrot, celery, potato,<br />
turnip, parsnip, parsley, etc)<br />
* Several leaves of silverbeet or spinach (optional)<br />
* 2 cups uncooked Sungold rice (or about 4 cups cooked<br />
rice)<br />
* Pearled barley (about one-third of a cup)<br />
* 1 teaspoon crushed or chopped garlic<br />
* 1 teaspoon crushed or grated ginger<br />
* Dash of soy sauce<br />
* Dash of red wine (optional!)<br />
* Small squeeze of tomato paste<br />
* Few pinches of mixed herbs<br />
Cook rice by steam method. (I do this in a microwave<br />
steamer - takes 20 minutes for the Sungold rice). Place<br />
all other ingredients (except veggies) into large covered<br />
microwave-safe dish. Mix and cook on high for 2 minutes.<br />
Repeat last step until meat is mostly cooked. (about 10<br />
minutes if using meat chunks) Chop veggies, add to meat<br />
mix and stir well. Cook 10 minutes and stir. Repeat last<br />
step twice or until barley is swollen. Add cooked rice and<br />
mix well. Divide into portions and freeze.<br />
If you prefer to feed raw veggies, you could puree the<br />
veggies and not add them until after the cooking is<br />
finished.<br />
NB: (for you guys outside of Australia). "Sungold" rice is<br />
just a brand of quick-cooking brown rice</p>

then just place them in a dry spot until they are quite<br />
hard.</p>

<p>Magic Doggie Cookies<br />
Read the whole recipe before beginning.<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<br />
Line 2 jellyroll pans (these are larger than cookie sheets<br />
and have 1 inch sides) with wax paper, cut to fit the<br />
bottom only. Place the wax paper in the pan &amp; then spray<br />
the wax paper with a cooking spray. Set aside &amp; prepare<br />
dough.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
* 4 pounds raw liver (I use chicken liver)<br />
* 7 cups of regular flour<br />
* 4 cups oatmeal (grind to a fine crumble in a food<br />
processor)<br />
* 8 Teaspoons of chicken bouillon<br />
* 1/2 to 1 cup of HOT water (to dissolve bouillon)<br />
* 8 eggs, beaten<br />
* 6 Teaspoons of garlic POWDER (not salt)<br />
Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water &amp; set aside.<br />
In a LARGE bowl combine the following:<br />
Process the liver until it is mush (or chop very, very<br />
finely).<br />
Add the beaten eggs<br />
Add the garlic powder<br />
Add the dissolved bouillon<br />
Stir this mixture until well blended.<br />
Add to the wet mixture a little at a time:<br />
1. Flour<br />
2. Finely ground oatmeal<br />
If you add the flour/oatmeal all at once, the mixture may<br />
ball up into a lump!<br />
After the whole glop is thoroughly mixed, spread it out<br />
evenly into the prepared jelly roll pans.<br />
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or till baked clear through to<br />
the center.<br />
Let the baked goodies cool in the pan a bit, then loosen<br />
the dough around the edges, turn the pan upside down onto<br />
a bread board, remove the wax paper, and cut into<br />
bait-sized squares. I then place the cookies into zip-lock<br />
storage bags and put them in the refrigerator for up to 2<br />
weeks. These cookies freeze very well also.<br />
Hints:<br />
It is not necessary to food process the oatmeal, but I<br />
like it fine so the cookies are less crumbly.<br />
This recipe is easily adjusted to fit your needs&#8230;I just<br />
happen to make enough for 6 dogs so I designed this recipe<br />
to fit my needs.<br />
Play around with the amount of garlic and bouillon (my<br />
Beards like lots of both), but be careful of the<br />
liquids&#8211;you don&#8217;t want the mix to be soupy.</p>

<p>1 lg Egg<br />
2 tb Milk<br />
Place 2 oven racks in the upper &amp; lower thirds of the<br />
oven. Preheat oven to 300F. Sprinkle the dry yeast or<br />
crumble the compressed yeast over the water (110F if dry,<br />
100F if compressed). Add the pinch of sugar &amp; allow yeast<br />
to sit in a draft-free spot for 10 to 20 minute.<br />
The mixture should be full of bubbles. If not, the yeast<br />
is too old to be useful. Stir well to dissolve the yeast.<br />
In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients &amp; stir well<br />
to blend them. Add the yeast mixture &amp; 3 c broth. Using<br />
your hands, in the bowl, mix to form the dough, adding<br />
more broth if needed to make the dough smooth &amp; supple.<br />
Half a batch at a time, knead the dough briefly on a<br />
lightly floured counter. (Keep the 2nd batch of dough<br />
covered with a moist towel while shaping and cutting the<br />
first.) Roll out the dough into 18 x 13 x 1/4-inch<br />
rectangle. Cut into desired shapes using 3 1/2 inch bone<br />
cutter or 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Reroll the scraps.<br />
Repeat procedure with remaining dough. For an attractive<br />
shine, lightly beat together the egg and the milk.<br />
Brush the glaze on the cookies. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes<br />
or until brown &amp; firm. For even baking, rotate the cookie<br />
sheets from top to bottom 3/4 of the way through the<br />
baking period. Use a small, angled metal spatula to<br />
transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.<br />
Store in an airtight container at room temperature-cracked<br />
wheat &amp; kelp are available at most health food stores-Use<br />
2 cups of bran cereal (not flakes) in place of the cracked<br />
wheat, if desired. If your dog is large, make larger<br />
cookies. Allow the cookie sheets to cool completely before<br />
using for the next batch. Distribute cookies evenly around<br />
sheet; avoid crowding or overlapping.</p>

1 ea Egg &#8211; beaten<br />
3 c Whole wheat flour<br />
Mix well &#8211; roll in to small logs in your hands and bake at<br />
325 degrees for about 50 minutes.<br />
PERSONAL NOTE &#8211; this was all there was to the directions -<br />
but I see no reason why you can&#8217;t roll the dough out and<br />
then cut with cookie cutters and bake or after making them<br />
into logs cutting them into 1/2 inch pieces and then<br />
baking. Also found it in a file on the Internet and one of<br />
the categories was bread maker &#8211; so I suppose you could<br />
use the dough cycle in your bread maker and then take it<br />
out and proceed.</p>

1 Egg; beaten<br />
3 c Whole wheat flour<br />
Pour hot water or juice over margarine. Add powdered milk,<br />
salt, sugar, and egg. Gradually add flour, about 1/2 C. at<br />
a time till you have a stiff dough. Knead 3-4 minutes.<br />
Roll out 1/2&#8243; thick and cut into shapes. Bake in 325<br />

<p>Rovers Rewards Dog Biscuits<br />
Yield: 1 servings<br />
3/4 c Hot water or meat juices<br />
1/2 c Margarine<br />
1/2 c Powdered milk<br />
1/2 ts Salt<br />
2 ts Sugar<br />
1 Egg; beaten<br />
3 c Whole wheat flour<br />
In a large bowl, pour hot water over margarine. Stir in<br />
powdered milk, salt, sugar and egg. Add flour, 1/2 cup at<br />
a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead 3 to 4<br />
minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very<br />
stiff dough. Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out<br />
with a dog biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet<br />
and bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Allow to cool and<br />
dry out till hard. I bake these on an un-greased 14 x 15<br />
1/2 inch air bake pan which it *fills* using both large<br />
and small cookie cutters. They can be placed side by side<br />
since there is no rising. They slide right off onto an<br />
opened brown bag and cool and harden in no time. I was<br />
advised in DOGHOUSE by a learned fellow that it might not<br />
be a bad idea to cut the sugar and salt quantities. Gotta<br />
watch their health too! Considering what&#8217;s in the treats<br />
to be bought, these are considerably better for them.</p>

Puppy Treats<br />
Yield: 10 servings<br />
* 2 1/2 cups flour<br />
* 1/2 cup powdered milk<br />
* 1 tsp. garlic powder<br />
* 1 tsp. granulated bouillon (fish)<br />
* 6 tbsp. meat drippings<br />
* 1 egg beaten<br />
* ice water<br />
My dogs prefer fish flavored granulated bouillon, but you<br />
can use any flavor you wish. Combine it and the rest of<br />
the dry ingredients. Cut in drippings until mixture<br />
resembles cornmeal. Mix in egg. Add just enough water to<br />
make mixture form a ball. Pat (or roll) dough to 1/2&#8243;<br />
thick and cut into desired shapes. Small dogs (like mine)<br />
like bite sized pieces like stars about the size of a<br />
quarter. The general rule is the bigger the dog, the<br />
bigger the &#8216;cookie&#8217;. The &#8217;10 servings&#8217; are for 6&#8243; bones.<br />
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350<br />
degrees, 25 to 30 minutes, until hard and dry. Cool before<br />
serving.<br />

<p>Enough water to form a stiff dough<br />
Roll out dough and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Score<br />
the dough with pizza cutter or other crimping tool into<br />
any size or pattern you like. For morning cookies, make<br />

nicely browned. Turn off oven, and allow the cookies to<br />
remain on the tray in the oven for one hour to overnight.<br />

crisper they will become. Break cookies apart and store<br />
tightly covered. Put them in plastic zip bags and place in<br />
freezer. Pull out as many as you want when needed.<br />

match stick sized pieces, and bake only until lightly<br />
brown. Sprinkle them with coarse salt as they come out of<br />
the oven.</p>

Newf Breakfast Bars<br />
I love this recipe because it makes a lot &amp; it&#8217;s so easy,<br />

Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2 cookie sheets<br />
Dump everything into a VERY large bowl. Mix this whole<br />
mess together (I use my hands, AFTER I take my rings off,<br />
another story), pat onto greased cookie sheets &amp; bake at<br />
325 for 1 hour. After 1 hour turn oven off, crack oven<br />
door &amp; allow cookies to cool in oven. Break into whatever<br />
size you want (mine like LARGE).<br />

front of the oven waiting.<br />

Garlic. Put in well greased pan and bake for 20 min. When<br />

Bonnie&#8217;s Sunshine Liver Brownies<br />
The recipe makes a lot of brownies so keep any leftovers<br />
(should there be any) in the freezer because they spoil<br />
real easy.<br />
* 3 to 3 1/2 lbs of liver, beef or chicken<br />
* 1 C whole wheat flour<br />
* 4.25 oz jar fresh minced or crushed garlic<br />
* 2 C white flour<br />
* 1/2 C corn meal<br />
* 1 med shaker of grated parmesan cheese<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with foil,<br />
coat with cooking spray, sprinkle lightly with corn meal<br />
and set aside. Process liver and garlic in food processor<br />
or blender until it looks like milk chocolate. Pour into<br />
large mixing bowl and blend in the rest of the<br />
ingredients. Spread evenly onto cookie sheet (the mixture<br />
will be thick) and sprinkle lightly with corn meal. Bake<br />
until no pink is left. I usually bake them for about 30<br />
min for one pan and then turn the oven off but leave the<br />
brownies inside until they are cool. Cut in pieces and be<br />
ready to be loved by your dog(s). I have yet to meet a dog<br />
that doesn&#8217;t like SLBs and I think that this is about the<br />
greatest bait on earth&#8230; Enjoy!!!<br />

Liver Bait #1<br />
Yield: 40 servings<br />
1 lb Beef liver<br />
4 Eggs<br />
1 c Cornmeal<br />
Garlic salt/powder<br />
Mix in food processor or blender until smooth. Pour onto<br />
greased cookie sheet. Bake for 30 min. at 350. When cool<br />
cut into squares.</p>
<p>Liver Bait #2<br />
Yield: 1 servings<br />
BAIT RECIPE I have two recipes. One calls for a large<br />
slice of raw liver. Sprinkle generously with garlic<br />
powder. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put liver on nonstick<br />
metal cookie sheet and bake for 10 min., then turn off the<br />
oven and leave in until cooled. Slice and freeze. Works<br />
great and is easy. You can turn liver over when you turn<br />
off oven if you want.<br />
Recipe # 2 calls for raw liver to be pureed (sp.) in a<br />
food processor with a whole egg, shell and all, and<br />
generous amt. of garlic powder. Add uncooked oatmeal to<br />
the &#8220;meat&#8221; until it is the consistency of cookie dough.<br />
Grease and flour a glass baking pan and bake at 350 for<br />
about 15 min. You really need to check on it occasionally<br />
as times can vary. Cool, slice and freeze. I like this<br />
recipe best because I hate liver and the slimy feel of it<br />
in my pocket. This makes a nice dry but palatable cookie<br />
that I&#8217;ve never seen any dog refuse.<br />
Liver Bait Recipe<br />
You will need:<br />
1 lb. liver (beef or chicken)<br />
1 1/2 cups flour (whole-wheat)<br />
1 cup cornmeal<br />
1 egg<br />
1 tbsp brewers yeast (opt)<br />
dash of garlic powder<br />
Put liver in the blender and blend it a bit, then add<br />
everything else (including egg shells if you want), blend<br />
well. Pour onto a flat cookie sheet (greased or sprayed)<br />
Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Score the biscuits<br />
while warm.<br />
You can also just use beef heart cooked in water with<br />
garlic until done, then slice it up and dry it out a bit<br />
in a 200 degree oven. The dogs love this as well and it<br />
doesn&#8217;t seem to go through them as fast.<br />

1 c Wheat flour<br />
1 ts Garlic powder<br />
1 ts Beef bouillon<br />
1 Egg<br />
1 tb Yeast flakes<br />
2 tb Vegetable oil<br />
Parmesan cheese<br />
Preheat oven to 350 F. Blend all in food processor. Press<br />
into big cookie sheet about 1 inch thick, sprinkle<br />
parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 45 min. then cut into<br />
bite size squares, put back in oven at 200 for 1 hour.<br />

<p>Cheese N Garlic Bites<br />
* 1 cup wheat flour<br />
* 1 cup grated cheddar cheese<br />
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder ( not garlic salt!)<br />
* 1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine<br />
* 1/2 cup milk<br />
Mix flour and cheese together. Add garlic powder and<br />
softened butter. Slowly add milk till you form a stiff<br />
dough. You may not need all of the milk. Knead on floured<br />
board for a few minutes.<br />
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place<br />
on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees oven for 15<br />
minutes. Let cool in oven with the door slightly open till<br />

Wheat free Salmon Treats<br />
* 1 8 oz. can salmon with juice<br />
* 1/2 cup chopped parsley<br />
* 3 eggs, shells included<br />
* 1/2 cup sesame seeds ground up in coffee grinder<br />
* 1/2 cup flax seeds ground up in coffee grinder<br />
* 2-3 cups potato flour<br />
Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY<br />
WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the<br />
motor is running. I can&#8217;t tell you exactly how much, but I<br />
would guess about 2-3 cups. When the dough forms, like a<br />
pie curst, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take out.</p>
<p>Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead<br />
more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie<br />
consistency, it is ready to roll out into about 14 inch<br />
thick. I use a pizza cutter to roll our long strips and<br />
then cut crosswise to make small squares . If you want<br />
FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets,<br />
sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchment paper. I put<br />
in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets<br />
suffices. I bake this in a 375º oven for 20 min. Turn and<br />
rotate the cookie sheets and bake about 10 more minutes.<br />
You can make them as soft or as hard as you want.<br />

<p>BabyDog Shampoo Bar<br />
Ingredient List<br />
12 ounces of Virgin Coconut Oil<br />
2 ounces of Hazelnut Oil<br />
.5 ounces of Neem Oil (this oil smells really awful but<br />
has great skin healing qualities)<br />
14 ounces of Organic Olive Oil<br />
14 ounces of Palm Kernel Oil<br />
2 ounces of Shea Butter<br />
6.4 ounces of Lye<br />
5 ounces of Chamomile Herbal Infusion (very strong<br />
chamomile tea)<br />
12 ounces of Goat&#8217;s Milk (Condensed Milk &#8211; 1 can) TOTAL of<br />
17 ounces of liquid which made this recipe very DRY.<br />
1/8 cup of honey<br />
20 drops of Lavender pure essential oil<br />
1 tsp of Rosemary Oil Extract (anti-oxidant)<br />
1 tsp of Vitamin E (anti-oxidant)<br />
The goat&#8217;s milk smelled like ammonia when it reacted with<br />
the lye. This smell is temporary and will disappear (thank<br />
goodness!)<br />
A wonderful gentle bar to use on your baby dog.<br />
Please keep soap out of eyes! THIS IS NOT A &#8220;NO-TEARS&#8221;<br />
SOAP<br />
Recommend a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse or herbal<br />
tea rinse to insure all soap is removed from skin and fur.</p>
<p>Doggie Body and Coat Tea:<br />
Herbal teas make wonderful rinses for canine coats and I<br />
will give a few recipes for you to try out and of course<br />
when comfortable you can start adding your own touches.</p>
<p>1 Tbs of organic cider vinegar<br />
2 cups of herbal tea (chamomile, rosemary or peppermint)</p>
<p>Nettle, comfrey leaf, calendula leaf (loose herbs)<br />
A few drops of glycerin (optional)<br />
Boil the water and poor it over the tea bag of your<br />
choice, cover it and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. If<br />
you are using a tea bag and some loose dry or fresh herbs,<br />
you have to strain the whole thing when it cools.<br />
If you are using roots, seeds or barks (hard plant parts)<br />
such as ginger, fennel, valerian root, soak your them in<br />
cool water overnight and than boil them for 10-15 minutes.<br />
Then follow the above steps.<br />
Once it&#8217;s cold add organic vinegar and glycerin. Dilute<br />
this solution with 1-2 cups of bottled water. Use this<br />
mixture as the last rinse water for your dog. You can wipe<br />
your dog&#8217;s face with it as well. It&#8217;s light and the scent<br />
is so mild that it will not bother her/his sensitive nose.</p>
<p>You can also put this doggie body tea in a spray bottle<br />
without diluting it and mist lightly while brushing your<br />
dog. I use both peppermint and chamomile all year around<br />
and it&#8217;s makes our German Shepherd&#8217;s coat smell great and<br />
helps the itchies she gets after hiking and excessive<br />
swimming.<br />
Make sure to label (date, ingredients used) and<br />
refrigerate left over tea.</p>
<p>Goat&#8217;s milk/carrot and honey Shampoo Bar<br />
Ingredient List<br />
14 ounces of Virgin Coconut Oil<br />
6 ounces of Hemp Oil<br />
21 ounces of Organic Olive Oil<br />
9 ounces of Palm Kernel Oil<br />
2 ounces of Shea Butter<br />
7.4 ounces of Lye<br />
12 ounces of chamomile and rosemary herbal tea (make a<br />
strong tea and cool and strain)<br />
12 ounces of Goat&#8217;s Milk (Condensed Milk &#8211; 1 can)<br />
Dilute the 12 ounce can of Goat&#8217;s Milk with 12 ounces of<br />
the herbal tea mixture. Store the remaining 12 ounces for<br />
future soap making.<br />
Add 10 ounces of freshly squeezed carrot juice to the 12<br />
ounces of diluted Goat&#8217;s Milk mixture for a total of 22<br />
ounces of liquid for this recipe.<br />
1/4 cup of finely ground oats<br />
1/4 cup of honey<br />
20 drops of Lavender pure essential oil<br />
1 tsp of Rosemary Oil Extract (anti-oxidant)<br />
1 tsp of Vitamin E (anti-oxidant)<br />
The goat&#8217;s milk did not smelled like ammonia (this time <img src='http://www.caninegames.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
when it reacted with the lye because the 22 ounces of<br />
liquid was placed in the freezer until slushy. Lye was<br />
added slowly until dissolved.<br />
Hot processed over direct constantly stirring to prevent<br />
scorching of the soap.<br />
A wonderful gentle bar to use on your baby dog. Please<br />
keep soap out of eyes!<br />
Recommend to thoroughly rinse and then use a diluted apple<br />
cider vinegar rinse or<br />
the Body and Coat Tea Rinse recipe.</p>
<p>Aloe Vera Pet Shampoo<br />
About as pure a shampoo as you can get, this recipe is<br />
detergent-free; in addition, the healing properties of<br />
aloe vera gel helps to sooth skin irritations.<br />
Simple Solution:<br />
* 2 cups water<br />
* 2 teaspoons liquid castile soap<br />
* 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel<br />
* Up to 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin or vegetable oil<br />
Combine all ingredients in a jar. Shake to blend. Get the<br />
pet&#8217;s coat wet, pour on the shampoo a few tablespoons at a<br />
time, lathering as you go. Work the shampoo in with your<br />
hands. Rinse thoroughly. Unless you want the pet to shake<br />
themselves dry (and get everything in the vicinity wet at<br />
the same time!), towel them dry.</p>
<p>DRY PET SHAMPOO<br />
1 C. flour<br />
1 C. cornmeal<br />
Mix the ingredients and pour them into a container roomy<br />
enough to hold the pet &#8211; a large paper box for a big pet<br />
or a deep roasting dish for a small pet will work.<br />
Place the container filled with the mixture in the bathtub<br />
and gently place your pet into the pan or box. Rub the<br />
mixture, by handfuls, into your pet&#8217;s fur until all the<br />
goo or oil or mess has been absorbed. Gently brush the<br />
mixture out of the fur. Be careful to keep the mixture out<br />
of your pet&#8217;s eyes, nose and ears. Dispose of the used<br />
mixture. It&#8217;s a good idea to follow up with a regular mild<br />
shampoo at this point if you can manage it.</p>
<p>ROSEMARY CASTILE SOAP<br />
(for dogs and cats)<br />
1 bar castile soap, grated<br />
3 oz. strong rosemary infusion<br />
Melt the soap in a double boiler. Add the rosemary brew<br />
and stir until blended well. Pour liquid soap into a<br />
wide-mouth container and let it set. This soap will deter<br />
fleas, keep skin clean, and give the coat a health shine.<br />
Home Remedies for Ailments and Itchys</p>
<p><a id="Remedies" title="Remedies" name="Remedies"></a><strong>Remedies</strong></p>

<p>Put the mixture in a shaker type jar [like a large spice<br />
shaker]<br />
Apply sparingly to the dog by brushing backward with your<br />
hand or comb and sprinkling it into the base of the hairs,<br />
especially on the neck, back and belly. To combat severe<br />
infestations, use several times a week.<br />
After applying powder, put the dog outside for a while so<br />
that the disgruntled tenants vacate in the yard and not in<br />
the house.</p>

or just a container. Apply liberally to the coat of the<br />
dog and rub in so that the skin is wet.</p>
<p>Lemons are very good for the skin and contain limonene<br />
which is an effective insect repellent. The limonene<br />
actually dissolves fleas&#8217; waxy coating causing dehydration<br />
and death of the flea.<br />
