Teething treat 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!

Notes

How to store

As a general guide, if meat protein is present in the recipe, then it will last around 3 to 5 days stored in a cool place. If it has second-class protein in it, e.g., 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.

All the packets of stuffing mix list onion flake in their ingredients, no matter what flavour, even the supermarket own brands and the ‘posh’ one on the link to amazon. What can I use instead as I will not give my puppy any onion at all?

I’ve got chestnut, cranberry and apple but in the ingredients it says “onion flake” 6% and onion salt. Is it ok to use?

  No he should be fine, and supervised as always. Ideal for when you are getting fed up of the biting and chewing. Instead of biting you or the furniture give him the biscuit and show him what he can bite. Also great for when they hit 5 months and start teething.
