Daisy loves Milkbone soft and chewy treats but my goodness they are expensive at 3.49 a pack.

Does any have a homemade treat recipe that

1. Doesn't have liver or high purine meats (Monkeybutt Samson is a stone former and likes treats too but cant have organ meats)

2. Will cook soft (or at least not cruchy hard)

3. Does not contain peanut butter......neither Princess Daisy or his Highness Samson like peanut putter

Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.
Do you have what it takes to be a Monkeybutt? Find out more at the Monkeybutt Federation

I think this is the one I used once.  Don't know what I did with the recipe, but grabbed this one from Google - it sounds the same from what I remember.  Mine were kinda soft, but could probably be cooked longer to crispy up a bit.

PUMPKIN WAFERS DOG TREAT RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • One 15 oz. can mashed pure pumpkin (NOT the spiced pie
    filling)
  • 3/4 cup cream of wheat (or rice cereal if wheat-sensitive) You can mix this dry--no need to cook it first
  • 1/2 cup dry powdered milk
  • Directions: Preheat oven to 300 F.

    Mix all ingredients together. Drop small spoonfuls (I use about
    half of a tablespoon) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at
    300 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

    If you'd like to make bite sized cookies for small dogs, training rewards or just small treats, you can use a pastry bag


    and squeeze out
    rosettes about the size of a dime for tasty bite sized cookies!

    Thank you!

    I will whip up a batch and let you know if it passes the taste test!

    Will the pumpkin make them...um....loose? When Daisy was constipated, the vet recommended a teaspoon of raw pumpkin with meals to help move things along.

    Daisy earned her wings on Oct 22, 2011 at 14 years old

    She is now the official greeter at the rainbow bridge

    Funny thing about pumpkin.  It can work either way.  It is recommended for constipation and for loose stools.

    Tika's Salmon Treat Recipe is a good one. They stay firm but not super hard or crunchy and every dog who had them at the Tripawds pawty she was at LOVED them!

    Chloe modified it a bit in her version which I'm sure is also great.

    P.S. Hope you don't mind we moved this discussion here, just thought it would be easier for people to reference the treat ideas in this "Eating Healthy" forum.
