These Chicken dog treats are full of flavor and nutrition for your best friend. Add a few of the suggested natural ingredients to turn it into a delicious nutritional supplement.
Easy Chicken Dog Cookies
Formulated by Melody McKinnon exclusively for 4TheLoveOfAnimals.com
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or flour substitute)
1/4 cup pureed sweet potato
1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup unseasoned chicken drippings
1 egg
1 TBSP plain yogurt
Dash of fine sea salt
Optional Natural Supplements: 1/8 tsp of powdered seaweed, spirulina, bonemeal, or calcium montmorillonite clay. Optional Decoration: Press small pieces of freeze-dried chicken into top before baking. You can use fresh chicken but it will greatly reduce the shelf life.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Roll out on floured surface to 1/4 inch.
Dip cookie cutter* into flour before cutting each shape.
Brush top with beaten egg.
Bake until golden brown (approximately 30 minutes).
These treats will last for up to a month in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer. Storing treats in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag preserves them for much longer and better maintains nutrient content.
*Use pet-theme cookie cutters for gifts, fundraising or sale! Enter the contest for a chance to win a $50 Bake-It & Take-It sampler that includes everything you need to make and move fun dog, cat, or bird treats.

We don’t do that for our two 8 year old cats – BUT my sister has two Viszulas and she makes all kinds of intriguing and HEALTHY treats for her babies (dogs.) In fact she makes ALL of their food (buying only the finest meats, grains and veggies from $$$ Whole Foods – and each of the dogs has a separate diet! It’s really quite amazing!
