The world's best dog biscuit recipe!
Bev is our in-house canine behaviourist/dietitian and last week I decided to try and make her favourite dog biscuit recipe and they turned out so well!Ā Every dog I walked last week loved them far more than I could'veĀ ever have hoped for.Ā Even the dogs that aren't food orientated stopped and took notice!Ā I had strangers dogs coming up to me and then try to tear them out of my pocket and some people asking me to make some for them while others insisted I should be selling them!! Hence why I call this 'The world's best dog biscuit recipe!'.
For thisĀ recipe you'll need...
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 450g pigs liver
- 1 lb / 2 cups of cornflour
- 170g / 3/4 cup potato flour or semolina
- 1 egg plus milk if more liquid needed
- 2 grated carrots or a grated apple
Step by step guide
Cut 450grams of liver into chunks and then blend.
Add half a cup of grated apple to blended liver.
Or add half a cup of grated carrot instead!
Add 450g/2 cups of cornflour
Add Ā¾ cups / 170g potato flour or semolina
Add an egg, a splash of milk and mix!
Roll out, cut and bake at 350 F/180 C for 15-20 mins.
Ruby knows Iām making something... extra special!
Hi! Mine weren’t able to be rolled out because they were far too wet. I’m thinking it could have been becuase if a couple of factors- I either over blended the liver or could it be because I didn’t add the poppy seeds? Thank you š
Hi there,
Absolutely love your blog and website, I was just wondering If I could substitute the potato flour with wholemeal? thank you very much (:
Hi Grace. Yeah, you can use that but I think you’ll get something a lot more bready than this but the dogs will still love it.
Thank you so much for replying! Another quick question how many little biscuits does this recipe generally make. I understand it would be dependent on biscuit size but generally when you make them how many would you get? Thank you again!
About 100.
Hi, Do you know much about dogs trying to lose weight. I’ve got a miniature Schnauzer with a collapsed treachia and she is over weight which does not help at all. She is only about 1 kilo over but thats enought to make the breathing much worse. I’ve tried lots of prescription diets but she either wont eat them or is trying to get food all day long driving me crazy and making me give her more food. Any help gratefully received. Thanks Jill
Hi, Jill! Bev, our canine dietitian is unwell at the moment so unable to answer. What food does she eat? One method I’d consider for a dog constantly after food would be to buy a large kong, putting her food in that (even if that means mixing it with a little cottage cheese or something and freezing it so it becomes hard like a ice lolly. That should keep her occupied for a good while.
From my own experience, exercise is great for losing weight, I have a couple of dogs whose weight yo-yo’s up and down but I know if I can give them an intense runabout they will lose weight just with my walk alone.
Hi there I make human cakes and biscuits to donate to animal rescue auctions and want to make some for the dogs too, also run a cafe and see lots of dig walkers so would like to make some biscuits to sell for animal rescue. What do you think would be the favourite? Also as I’m donating, the most cost effective? Thank you:)
This biscuit recipe and the liver cake recipe are the best, imo! I also recommend the sardine oatcakes!
Hi Jamie, when I made them the liver cake, both dogs got runny bums… So that made me reconsider making these biscuits. Is there an alternative that I could use and still achieve some rock hard biscuits? They love the oatcakes, which have no adverse effects on them, so I’ve made them again, and the banana bombs too, but I can’t give them liver again. Is heart and kidney also very rich, or would it make a good alternative?
Many thanks š
Hi Rosie. Liver is a natural laxative and dogs not used to it should only be given small amounts to begin with. It doesn’t affect my own dog as she eats liver everyday but with some dogs they should only get small amounts till they get used to it. Heart would make a better sub or even try something like tuna.
I am having a doggy party next weekend so I am going to make these biscuits and the liver cake for all my wee doggy guests
Hi Michelle! I promise you will be the hostess with the mostess amongst your doggy friends!
Hi, I am going to make these tomorrow – how should I store them (if they last that long!)?
You can keep them in biscuit tin if they’re gonna be used within two weeks but if you freeze them then they’ll last pretty much forever and will defrost very quickly at room temperature.
Going to try these the weekend! Will let you know what my dogs think and post some pics š
Thx Jessie! I’ll be very interested to see your finished biccies!
If anyone has made these I’d love for you to send a pic in and let me see how they look since I bet you can make them look a lot better than I can!
Brilliant!, your amazing oh I could eat u all up
HAha! Thanks very much! š
