HOMEMADE liver treats...going to try this today...

[Pat's Crew]

I found some liver in the freezer and there is enough of it to make a good batch of treats.
you put the liver in the oven on lowest setting to dry and cook for 6 hours then let it dry the rest of the way on the counter for a couple of days and the cut up and store...

I can not stand LIVER msyself but the dogs love it. hope this works.it is much cheaper then buying it dehydrated or baked then dried..

anyone done this before for their pugs?

TROUT COOKIES

Too bad you can't buy canned trout that I know of. I bet you could use canned tuna or salmon.

2 Cups Wheat Flour
1 Cup Cornmeal
Pinch of salt
3 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
1 Cup water
1 Cup Trout
1 small clove of garlic

I mixed everything in the food processor and mixed till doughy consistency.

Shape into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet. I flattened the balls down with a fork.

400 degrees for 15 minutes.

I bet the canned salmon or tuna would work out too

think I will give these a try too as soon as I use some of the liver..

thanks a bunch
will save both of these recipes

Cute picture! It looks like he's really enjoying his special treat. Do you find that their tummies tolerate these treats ok? I've read that liver can be kind of rich & can cause loose/runny stools.

[Pat's Crew]

got to be very careful with how much liver they get..........can cause loose stools. very small amounts
Gus did not get that big piece of liver he stole off the plate..lol. in the pic. I broke some off for him
they all love it though

Does it have to be trout, or tuna? what about other fish that is caught fresh. I have some stripped bass, bue fish and spanish mackeral would any of that work?

I tried these this weekend, but w/ salmon as opposed to trout, don't think they have any canned around here...these cookies were a HUGE hit, Charlie goes nuts for them - thanks for the receipe!!!
