Basic Dog Treat Recipe
As a base recipe try this easy recipe. Start here with just four ingredients from your kitchen and you can’t go wrong. The Beach Dog created this recipe because it’s nutritious all by itself and can be easily modified for the perfect dough to form into cookie cutter shapes or just drop a spoonful onto a cookie tray. Simply add more milk if your batch is dry or add more flour if the dough is too moist.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (fair source of fiber)
1/2 Cup Quick Oats (excellent source of fiber)
2/3 Cup Skim Milk (Vitamin D and Calcium)
3 T Olive Oil (antioxidants and vitamin E)
Instructions:
Mix the dry ingredients first and then add in the milk and oil. Mix until dough is formable, spoon or roll and cut. Bake at 350 degrees. If rolled to 3/8″ baking time is 30 to 35 minutes…or until a golden brown.
Tip: Cooking time may vary for many reasons, keep an eye on the baking process and make sure the treats are cooked completely for a hard biscuit and to prolong the shelf life.

Lastly try making Jerky
Use any kind of left over meat and dry it out in a dehydrator or put them in the oven on a low setting, 170 degrees for 4-6 hours depending on how big your meat slices are. Make sure the meat is totally dried out, this might take longer than 4-6 hours but you will be able to tell just by looking.
