For awhile in high school, I worked at a little boutique-type shop that made and sold dog biscuits. All morning long, 5 or 6 of us would mix dough with giant industrial size mixers, roll it out and cut biscuits by hand. It sounds tedious but it was actually really fun. We made lots of different kinds, of all sizes and shapes.
All-natural dog treats can cost quite a bit, but here are some you can make at home that hardly cost anything at all. And they are completely safe for little humans, just in case they think they need a treat too...
Dog Treats from Fake-It-Frugal
Ingredients:2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Water
3 Cups Flour
Mix everything together until dough forms a ball. If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook and it will mix up really fast. Roll out dough onto surface ( doesn't need to be floured, they won't stick) and cut into strips with a knife, then across in the size you want, or use mini cookie cutters ( or regular size if you really, really love your dog) Bake in oven at 350 for 20 minutes. Divide into a week's worth of treats and store the excess in the freezer.
