I know Id like a place for ideas and to share things I have tried. Yesterday was sucessful. I made the pups bacon cookie treats.

I used the below but can be substatuted as needed for dogs eating needs
Bacon Bites
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 1/2 cup rough oats
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup hot water as needed
2 eggs
1/4 cup bacon fat with any left overs chopped up
1/4 cup parsley flakes
1 beef boulioun cube

Disolve beef cube in half the hot water.

combine all ingredients add more water if needed

Shape as desired I rolled and put them in the fridge and then cut them.

Place on tin foil on a baking sheet or use a bake mat
Bake at 400 for 20 min turn oven off and leave for another 20 min to dry out.

You can add other goodies such peanut butter, banannas I guess almost anything.

Liver Pumpkin Chickpea Treats

I get really inexpensive beef liver from the local farmer's market and my dogs are on a grain free diet so I came up with this.

1 lb liver
4 eggs
1 enormous can pureed pumpkin (pure, not the pie filling)
3-4 cups chickpea flour (recipe follows)

Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with a nonstick spray.

Chop and puree the liver in a food processor. It pretty much liquifies. This is a fairly gross process and there will be stringy bits in it but your dogs will love you for it. Crack the eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat lightly. Add the liver and pumpkin and mix. Add the chickpea flour one cup at a time and mix until the mixture is spreadable. Don't make it too thick or it will lump up. Spread to about 1/2 inch on the cookie sheet. Bake on 350 degrees F until solid, about 20-30 minutes. Let cool then flip over and peel off the foil. I use a pizza cutter to cut into squares.

The quantities and baking time can be changed as long as there is enough chickpea flour to thicken whatever ratios you use. The treats can be frozen or refrigerated. They last about five days in the fridge. When they start smelling vinegary, they're going.

Chickpea Flour

A couple of bags of dried chickpeas.

I like to dry roast the chickpeas at about 300 degree F for 5-10 minutes before I grind them up but it's not necessary. Use a food processor or spice grinder to grind them into powder. If you use a food processor, you'll have to sift out the large bits a couple of times to get them down to size.

This thread may be of some use: Home made dog treats.

I wouldn't blame you. The raw section doesn't get a lot of traffic. Hope you find some good ideas. Meanwhile, Bobby is very eager to taste test and grant his "lick of approval" in regards to your "Bacon Bites."

Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I could add a new forum under the Barf forum if a few people wanted to populate it with new posts and contribute to it from time to time.

Let me know.

[Jollymolly]

I would be eager

I made a forum. If you want to copy these into their own thread that would be great. If you have any questions or the forum isn't working right give me a shout.

Thanks!!!
