Does anyone have any recipes for wheat free, corn free treats? I would love something to make for Tyson but he has a sensitive stomach and I am trying to avoid wheat and extra corn (his food has corn). I wanted to make liver treats but when i saw the liver in the store i almost gagged it was so.....gooey....

Hi...If the corn in his food bother's Tyson's stomach...there are many adult foods available that do not contain corn....just a suggestion for you.

Tyson's Mommy, how about taking one of the treat recipes from this section and replacing wheat flour with another type of flour... i know that at my health food store i can buy flour made from rice, millet, etc.

i was reading baout potato flour as well. has anyone used this to make treats? does it work as well as regular flour?

happyhomer, is this rice or millet flour avaible in any regular stores? we onlyh ave one health store and it is very very small and does not carry many things.

hmmm, i dunno. if you have a trader joe's... they tend to have more of this sort of thing than most regular stores... i dont know if i have ever bought non-wheat flour there.

this is the brand that i have seen most often, and the one that i usually buy myself. http://www.arrowheadmills.com/

At our local grocery store they carry Bob's Red Mill flour. My Tyson also has sensitive tummy issues and I make a bunch of treats for him. I use rice flour and oat flour right now but have already scoped out garbonzo bean flour and potato flour for when he gets more sensitive. :)

The only difference is the texture and absorbability of the flours- wheat flour is loaded with gluten so it is more sticky than other types. I find it takes a bit more rice flour to get the consistency I want. It just takes practice in making treats, but no matter what changes you make your dogs will LOVE it! :)

ooh, i forgot about Bob's Red Mill, good one heather. i love their oatmeals!

Bruno's Famous Liver Brownies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have modified this great recipe of Kleb's to make it wheat and corn free because Midnight and Calley are sensitive to those ingredients. The brownies actually turn out spongier and our dogs love them!

1 tsp. garlic powder
2 eggs
2 c. brown rice flour

Add water and chop.
Add the eggs including the shells and mix until blended together.
Pour into medium size bowl.

Hey! I myself am allergic to gluten, the protien found it wheats and other grains. Some of the flours i can get at fred meyers. I get Tapicoa flour, Potato flour or startch (depending on what the recipe calls for) rice flour, etc. Bob's mill does great. You can do a google search for "wheat free flour" or gluten free flour. or get some ideas of the brands at glutensolutions.com wheat free flours can be expensive, be for warned! If your dog is allergic/sensitive to corn, I say get off it! Chicken Soup for the Pet lovers soul has a great dog food, no grain! It is cheaper than specialty dog foods. Innova has a food called Evo, which is also grain free. supposedly it is as close to the raw food/barf diet in kibble form. Wellness is another great brand. Natural choice duck and potato, etc.
Oh i think i heard that the gluten protien is like a perserative and/or thickner. So when you make with out it the product doesn't last as long (keep it sealed super tight) and don't be too alarmed if the product is a little more sticky.
