There are lots of dog treat recipes out there that include fillers like cornmeal.  Some of our dogs are becoming allergic to corn because commercial dog foods use corn as their primary ingredient!

Bake your own healthy, homemade dog goodies and skip the corn.

Veggie Bones

Ingredients:

2 3/4 C. Flour
2 Tablespoon Bran
2 Tsp. Baking Powder
3 Tsp. Minced Fresh Parsley (good for doggie breath)
1/4 C. Shredded Carrots
1/4 C. Shredded Cheese (your choice–mozzarella, cheddar)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp. Flaxseed (optional)
1/2 C. Water

Directions:
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Mix together parsley, carrots, cheese and oil. Combine the dry ingredients separately from the veggie mixture. Slowly add 1/2 c. water and mix well. Dough should be moist but not wet. Knead for a minute.

Roll out dough to 1/4″ thickness. Using cookie cutters of your choice, cut out shapes and place on baking sheet.

Bake 20-30 minutes until biscuits have browned and hardened slightly. They will continue to harden as they cool. Store in an airtight container once throughly cooled.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen
