Home Made Healthy Dog Bikkies

My friend Sal brought these dog bikkies over for Sunnie and Peppa to try and they love them. I love them too because they are full of healthy oils for their nails and coat and I know I'm feeding my dogs something good. The only one time Sunnie didn't try bowl me over for these treats was when we were at the beach, and unbeknowns to us had drunk about 2L of sea water... let's just say she was like a water pistol (from both ends) for about 4 hours! Poor puppy!

Anyway, Sal's thinking she'll make these with Sascha's blend mixed in next time for her older dog Bundy (as she turns the corner into middle age) and also to make them seem less appetising to her.... they're actually quite tasty!

Sal's Healthy Dog Bikkies

 

1. Into a large bowl mix

• 2 cups wholemeal SR flour
• 1/2 cup polenta
• 1/2 cup crushed linseeds (I just wizzed mine in the blender for a couple of minutes which didn't 'crush' many of them just kind of stirred them around really fast so maybe bashing them would be better... could also be therapeutic)
• 1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

2. In a smaller bowl stir together

• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup water

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients

4. Mix into a firm dough (like a biscuit dough). If too dry add water...too soft add more flour.

5. Roll out to 1 cm thick and cut into pieces.

6. Bake in oven 170'C for approx 30mins. Allow to cool slowly.

Thanks Sal!
