PUPPY RUSK RECIPE
The puppy of Bev (our canine dietitian) is teething at the moment and to remedy this and save her coffee table from getting chewed to bits she made this puppy biscuit recipe which is rock hard and satisfying for emerging teeth. These puppy teething rusks are large and thick for a reason so if you break them up into small treats then you’re missing the point. The point being that they’re large so the pup can spend some time biting into this rather than your furniture. Right, let’s get this puppy biscuit recipe started!
INGREDIENTS
Packet of thyme and parsley stuffing mix – cheap supermarket packet! (Or buy here!
METHOD
Add a packet of thyme and parsley stuffing mix to a large bowl!
Add 2 mugs of oats to bowl!
Add a mug of flour!
Add a beaten egg!
Now add some hot water, create a dough ball and leave to rest!
Roll out to 1/2 inch thick and cut out biscuits with large cutter!
Bake at 140° C or gas mark 3 for 50-60 mins or until rock hard!
Thanks, these are great! I was wondering if freezing raw chicken or raw salmon (I heard there is a bacteria in it that is deadly to dogs) is not dangerous?
I tried this recipe with 800grams of liver. Took ages longer to dry (fair buff there was more of it).
BUT it totally crumbles t after it’s been in my treat bag for 5 minutes, making it useless.
Did I do something wrong?
I have always been told by vets that garlic should never be given to dogs. So is there something better to substitute?
just dont add it if you dont want it, doesnt need a substitute.
Oh, wow, this is an amazing article!
My dog loves dried fruit – banana, apple, and a bit of apricot, pineapple – and is obsessed with dried sweet potato, but they are all becoming very expensive in the UK. Do you have recommendations for how long to dehydrate these non-meat products?
My dog really loves dried banana that is still a bit chewy. Only one place sells it and it is £4.20 or so for 100g. I’ve never tried dehydrating anything but would it be easy to get the banana to that chewy stage rather than becoming the hard, brittle, banana chip that is usually what goes for dried banana?
Any tips for dehydrating sweet potato?
I only have the dehydration function on an air fryer, and an air fryer oven: do you have any tips on ensuring fruit and veg doesn’t stick to the tray (or is this not an issue with dehydration?).
Do you recommend specific cuts of beef? I don’t eat beef myself so I’m clueless on what the different ones are.
Thanks for the ideas. Everything is getting ludicrously expensive and I would rather work out how to give my pup her favourites with dehydrating fruit, veg, and meat, than having to cut back. I came here looking for a biltong recipe and found so many other ideas!
