Meaty Dog Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. powdered milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 egg
6 tbsp vegetable oil
8-10 tbsp water
2 jars of strained baby food (beef, chicken or lamb)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients.
Knead the dough for about 3 minutes.
Roll it out until it’s about an inch thick.
Here’s the part where you break out the cute bone shaped cookie cutters! Or you can use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into the desired size.
Bake the biscuits for 20-25 min. on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Makes about 24 biscuits.

Hey…great site!
Who knew it was so simple to feed your dog such nutritious home cooked meals and treats. My concern was…an instructor of mine mentioned that baby food is not good to give to dogs because it contains onion powder…and we all know dogs aren’t supposed to eat onions. Any comments/corrections/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
Hi Lauren, thanks for complimenting my site! I appreciate it.
You are right to be concerned about adding onions and onion powder to your dog’s food.
Dogs (and cats, too) lack an enzyme that’s needed to properly digest onions. Large amounts of both onions and garlic can lead to gas, diarrhea and gastrointestinal distress.
However, the “seasoning amounts” typically used in baby food are not likely to cause any kind of problems.
It’s important to not feed your dog any treat in excess, though. Obesity is a serious problem for dogs and just like us, overdoing any special “treat” will have consequences.
The above recipe makes 24 servings. My baby, Sam, loves them, but he knows it’s not going to be “all you can eat”. I suggest making a batch and not giving your dog more than a few. Next time he/she relieves himself, you’ll know if he’s having any problems with digestion.
Please let me know how it turns out!
How long and how do you store these treats
