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!

Ingredients

  • Packet of thyme and parsley stuffing mix - cheap supermarket packet!
  • 2 mugs of oats (2 cups)
  • 1 mug flour (1 cup)
  • 1 beaten egg
  • Hot water to mix

Method

thyme and parsley stuffing mix

Add a packet of thyme and parsley stuffing mix to a large bowl!

OATS IN A BOWL

Add 2 mugs of oats to bowl!

FLOUR AND OATS IN A BOWL

Add a mug of flour!

beaten egg

Add a beaten egg!

dough ball

Now add some hot water, create a dough ball and leave to rest!

SHAPED DOG BISCUIT DOUGH

Roll out to 1/2 inch thick and cut out biscuits with large cutter!

Cook puppy biscuits

Bake at 140° C or gas mark 3 for 50-60 mins or until rock hard!

dog eating biscuit

Leave to cool and give to teething pup or as a reward for your dog.

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.

    hi can teething biscuits be frozen

    • Jamie Shanks on May 24, 2015 at 5:47 pm

      Oh Yes!

    Am I okay to make with sage and onion as have made them now .

    • Jamie Shanks on November 10, 2014 at 8:02 pm

      Well you don’t really want onion in it. Lemon and thyme or Apple and thyme would also work.

    Be careful using stuffing mix, it contains onion which is toxic to dogs and can cause them to become very sick.

    I have made these without the stuffing mix, using just flour and water and some other herbs and it works just as well without exposing your dog to onion. I also didn’t use the egg. As long as you bake it at a high enough temperature and then leave to cool fully the biscuit will go very hard.

    Please don’t give your dogs onion.

    Hi Jamie, our 7 month old Staffy cross is going to benefit from these once I make a batch (as will our old cabinet!), but would it be okay to substitute the flour for cornmeal, do you think? I bought rather a large bag for something else and would like to use it up, lol!

    I’m from the US, and can’t find “packets” of seasoning anywhere. Can you give me an idea of how much seasoning is contained in a packet. And, in general, does the packet contain more than just the thyme and parsley? My dogs love the liver cakes, so I want to try the biscuits too!

    Can you tell me the measurement for a “mug” of oats or a “mug” of flour?

    • Jamie Shanks on March 5, 2014 at 6:06 pm

      About 1 1/2 cups. A mug

    Hi,

    I’m struggling to find onion free stuffing. Where did you get yours from?!

    Thanks
    Charlotte

      Hi C! I got mine from my local Morrisons. I’m sure most supermarkets will sell them.

    • craig on January 5, 2014 at 3:44 pm

      Is lemon and thmye stuffing mix OK?

    • Jamie Shanks on January 5, 2014 at 5:52 pm

      Yeah, that’s fine. I’ve used that before and it works good.

  8. sue on October 27, 2013 at 4:08 pm

    I couldn’t find thyme and parsley. Got cider apple and sage. Would that work?

    • Jamie on October 28, 2013 at 2:35 pm

      Yes Sue that will work fine!

  9. bev on October 20, 2013 at 7:40 pm

    • Jamie Shanks on October 20, 2013 at 7:42 pm
