We all love our dogs. They are not just pets to us but they are part of our families. I have been doing a lot of research and have found that some of the ingredients that are in our pet’s food is not only bad for them but can shorten their lives or even kill them. We now know that processed food is not good for people so why are we feeding it to the pets we love. There is more linked research on my blog.

I found this recipe for dog treats that my pup loves.

4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small apple, grated
1 1/3 cups of water
Combine all the ingredients, except the apple and water, into a large bowl. Add the grated apple into the mixture and then stir in the water until it begins to bind together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead well. Roll out to about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Score the dough into small treat-sized squares (about 1 inch). Place on a greased baking sheet and bake at 325 F (160 C) for 1 hour.

There are more recipes on my blog as well.
