PET FOOD, Cat, Domestically Disabled Caregivers

[Guest guest]



 

 

Dear Harvey,

Thanks for the Dog Biscuits.

However, I'm domestically disabled and the longest I want to spend in the kitchen is just get in and get out to avoid my own starvation and low blood sugar. Does anyone have any ideas for my Cat, Phantom of the office that takes no more time than opening a container of livers from the grocery, letting him out the door so he can stalk birds and squirrels, sneaking some of my food out in a "doggie" bag from a restaurant or throwing some of the meat parts from the kitchen into a plastic tub below the kitchen counter so he can't easily move it from a plate to the floor?

Bake on cookie sheets at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until lightly toasted. To make biscuits harder, leave them in the oven with the heat turned off for an hour or more.

If you get the urge to bake, but everybody in your house is on a diet, try making these treats for your pooch. Hopefully, your pet is not dieting also!

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, dry milk, salt, garlic powder and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix in egg. Add enough water so that mixture forms a ball. Pat out dough 1/2-inch thick with your fingers on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.

 

Cut out with cookie cutters and remove scraps. Pat out scraps and proceed as before. Bake 25 to 30 minutes.

 

Cool on cake rack, then serve to your pet.

Dog and Kitty Cookies:Author Unknown

 

You can make a nice treat for your animals, using the food you feed them. In our case, we use Flint River Ranch for the dogs.

 

Just mill the food into a flour with a food processor. I do about three cups.

 

Then, add about 1 to 2 Tablespoons of garlic powder. Not the salt, but the powder. You can add an egg and just enough water to make a nice dough.

 

With your hands roll balls about the size of a walnut and lay on a greased cookie sheet. Take a fork and squish them down one direction and then the other direction so you have a little design of squares on the top of each.

 

Bake until they are dry on the outside, but a little moist on the inside.

 

Keep them in an airtight container.

 

I keep mine in a canning jar on top of my computer hutch. They love them! They especially like the garlic. You can do the same for kitties too. ) And you can be safe from any bad stuff from treats you buy. )
