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.

  1. How many of these can i give my puppy on a daily basis?

    • It’s really just when they start chewing things and getting all worked up cause they’re teething. But I’d say around 2-3.

  2. 5

    • Not that many I’m afraid, but they are big.

  4. What sort of flour is used please?

    Reply
    • Just normal wheat flour. If you want you can use gluten free but it will need a little extra water

  5. This is the recipe I was searching for when I found this site my 10 week old just loves chewing anything and everything. I wanted something healthy for her but substantial that my eldest could also eat. at the moment it seems like any part of me is the favourite to chew let’s hope she changes to biscuits instead.

    • They work great. If you have a dehydrator then put them on that after cooking for a few hours to make them even harder. Perfect pup treats and for adults too!

  6. Hello. I made these today – great success -I tried one myself!- & the puppy loves them. I didn’t have a stuffing mix but made my own- 80g breadcrumbs (blitzed water biscuits), 2 teaspoon each of thyme & oregano (didn’t have any sage) 1 low salt stock cube, 1 egg & then continued with your recipe. I can vouch that they taste like hard oatcakes _ great for owner & dog alike!
