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

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. If there is no meat or second class proteins present then it will last around 3 weeks before they go soft like human biscuits.
