A homemade travel sickness rememdy for dogs

Add ginger to biscuits and you can make a delicious dog treat.  Ginger has been known for a long time to be very effective in combating motion sickness in dogs as well as people.  These biscuits are easy to make and dogs think they are very tasty whether they’re traveling or not!  Because we are making gingerbread men, I’m using a gingerbread man biscuit cutter, you can buy here if you need one.

How to store

As a general guide if meat protein is present in recipe then it will last around 3 to 5 days stored in a cool place.  If it has second class protein in it eg. cheese, lentils, eggs, etc, then they will store for about 10 days in a cool place. You can use cake tins lined with baking paper – greaseproof. If there is no meat or second class proteins present then it will last around 3 weeks before they go soft like human biscuits.
