Liver Baked Dog Treats

Although you can buy liver baked dog treats in stores some dog owners prefer to make their own. By making your own dog treats you are giving your dog something homemade, baked with love. You may find that pound for pound homemade dog treats are more affordable than the store bought kind. They are certainly more affordable than those fancy gourmet bakery treats that are so popular. If you enjoy baking then you will surely love creating delicious chews, biscuits and cookies for your four legged friend.

The first thing you'll need to do is find some good recipes. The Internet is a great source of free treat recipes. You can also buy dog treat cookbooks including the Three Dog Bakery Cookbook by Dan Dye, who is one of the founders of the very popular Three Dog Bakery chain. Another book you may want to take a look at is the Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook by Liz Palika and Troy Cummings. These books and others on this subject can be found at any major bookstore.

Once you've found a recipe you want to try the next step is to gather all your supplies and ingredients. Everything you'll need to bake dog treats at home can be purchased at the supermarket. If you can, buy organic because it is healthier and higher in quality. You want to give your dog the healthiest treats possible.

Here is a simple recipe for liver treats you can try. You will need the following ingredients:

2 lbs chicken liver
3 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups oatmeal
1/8 cup chicken broth (fresh or low sodium canned)
4 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a food processor to process the liver until it is a baby food consistency. Combine pureed liver with other ingredients in a large bowl and knead until the dough is smooth and stiff. Refrigerate the dough for about an hour to make it easier to work with. Roll the refrigerated dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut cute shapes out of the dough with a knife or use a cookie cutter. Bake treats on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Make sure treats are completely cooled before giving them to your dog. These homemade liver baked treats can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for a week or two.
