Homemade dog biscuits
So with these cheese dog treats the key is to roll them out thin, cut them out small and cook them quick! Nice with a strong cheese taste!
I’ve been checking out dog biscuit recipes online. They vary so much and it’s difficult to find a similar theme with many looking like they are being cooked for humans rather than dogs. Anyway, in the house I’ve got some plain flour, butter and I thought I’d use fresh Parmesan cheese which I’m hoping will add a nice flavour to the biscuits. I’m also using some garlic to add to the flavour.
Ingredients
300g of plain flour, 1 crushed garlic clove (Isn’t garlic bad for dogs?), 150g of fresh Parmesan cheese, About 150-200ml of cream, 50g of butter
Method
Our Ingredients!
Add 300g of plain flour to a bowl
Add 150g of Parmesan cheese and the butter (softened)
Add 150ml of cream and 1 crushed garlic. Now knead into a dough ball. If too dry add a bit more cream.
Preheat your oven to 190°C. Roll out dough nice and thin!
Using a small cutter, cut out biscuits and prick with fork. Cook for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Cheesy dog biscuits done!
I understood that any dairy products were bad for dogs but you use not only cheese but milk in your dog recipes. Is this ok to do?
Dogs are generally lactose intolerant. Lactose is in milk but not cream so using cheese and cream are both fine.
Just made some buiscuits along the lines of this recipe but using dried liver (blitzed to be fine crumbs) and substituted quark (fat free soft cheese) for the cream. Anyone used quark before? Any bad reactions from your furry friends? My two dachshunds are waiting to do the taste test. Hope they like them.
Could I possibly find out which type of cream you prefer to use with these? I would like to make them but don’t want to get the recipe too wrong. Thanks in advance 🙂
In any case I’ll be subscribing for your rss feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!
Just wondering what the shelf life is for these kind of treats? are they able to last for weeks/months if stored in a cool dry container?
My dog is lactose intolerant can I replace the cheese cream and butter for lactofree
When is the butter suppose to be used? Its not in the method xx
I thought the same thing about the butter was quite surprised that nobody else picked up on that I added 50g of butter in with flower, my biscuits turned ok out but would still liked to know the Answer .
Sorry!
I’ve fixed it. Add it (softened) with the cheese.
Butter is mentioned when adding the cheese
Yeah, is that ok? 50g of butter is added along with the 150g of Parmesan cheese as mentioned.
