So… I’ve been pondering making my own dog biscuits for a while. I dehydrate liver and chicken treats for Miah already, and she loves them. But when we walk I prefer to use biscuits. Let’s face it… dehydrated chopped liver is not something you want hanging around in your pockets.
I found a nice simple recipe online, but switched out the wheat flour for oats. I’m not sure if you can buy oat flour, but as I had a load of porridge oats in the cupboard from the last batch of liver cake, I decided to mill those into a rough flour for the biscuits. And it seems to have worked.
Miah seems to approve.
Semi-live tweeting my efforts…
Right *rubs hands* about to do my first batch of home made dog biscuits. Dried treats are down pat, this is new territory.

Ok. Dough looks good. Pumpkin gives it a lovely warm colour. Oats instead of wheat, now have two trays ready to bake w/ 1 left in dough ball

Mainly cos I'm a fusspot and I won't buy shit dog treats. Home baked always best – u know what's in them!

Ok. Taking the burnt and left over dough into account. I reckon one batch will give me a good sized Kilner jar worth of biccies. pic.twitter.com/k27d5eZu8C

Wheat would make them look nicer, but I try to avoid it for Miah. Oats a much better option. She don't give a sh!t what they look like.
