How to Make Your Own Simple Dog Treats
By Jon D
Cox
Liver Dog Treats
These treats are truly amazing, even dogs that are not very food orientated
seem to go nuts for these, if you make these, your dog will be the most
grateful pooch alive!
Ingredients:
1 lb/450g pigs liver
1 lb/450g of cornflour
6oz/170 g potato flour or semolina
1 egg plus milk if more liquid needed
2 grated carrots or a grated apple
1 clove of fresh garlic
1 teaspoon of poppy seed
How to make:
Dry liver with paper towel. Cut into chunks and puree it either in a
blender or food processor. Then place in a large mixing bowl.
Add a grated apple to the liver. Or add the grated carrots instead!
Add one clove of crushed garlic. Add the cornflour and the potato
flour/semolina
Add an egg and a splash of milk!
Add 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds.
Mix together thoroughly
Roll out onto a baking tray (approximately 2cm thick), cut into squares,
and bake at 350 F/180 C for 15-20 mins.
(Always keep an eye on them when cooking to make sure they don't burn)
Fish oatcake dog treats
Your dog will love these oatcakes, they are tasty, healthy, smell great and
just so easy to make! And from preparation to cooking time they take less than
one hour!
Ingredients:
2 tins of sardine in oil (2x120g)
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
60g of wholemeal flour
300g of oats
A splash of water
How to make:
Add the sardines to a bowl and mash them up thoroughly with a fork
Add the garlic, flour and oats
Mix everything together with your hands, adding a splash of water to make a
dough ball
Roll out the dough (approximately 2cm thick) then cut out the biscuits in
the shape of your choice.
Place dog biscuits on baking tray and place into a preheated oven at 190°C
for around 20-25 mins.
(Always keep an eye on them when cooking to make sure they don't burn)
Simple to make, meat free dog treats!
I thought a dog treat without using liver or meat would make a nice change
so I thought I'd try banana alongside peanut butter and honey. These buns are
great, they have a hard crusty shell which makes them excellent to carry around
but moist and bready inside and packed with flavour! Dogs love them!
Ingredients:
200g Cornflour.
200g Wholemeal flour
1 tablespoon of Honey
2 eggs
2 bananas
200g Smooth peanut butter!.
How to make:
Add two eggs, peanut butter, 2 chopped bananas and a tablespoon of honey to
a large mixing bowl.
Mash it all together until it is smooth.
Add the flour and the cornflour.
Mix it all together with a fork then roll up your sleeves because you'll
need to get stuck in with your hands to mix it all up! Into a big dough ball.
Roll into little balls and place onto baking tray. Be quite firm when
rolling them in your hands!
Place into the oven at 130°C and then cook for 45 minutes.
(Always keep an eye on them when cooking to make sure they don't burn)

Herders – an amazing breed.
 |
| Our Gina (18 months old) |
I heard a lot of highly positive estimates of herders (Dutch shepherd dogs) as very clever and brave service dogs. Having a young herder of my own (a female of 18 months) I get constantly surprised how easily she is taught and what a speedy progress she makes. During our long walks in the mountains I saw that she is very brave, and cautious at the same time. But I never let he run alone too far, knowing very well that dogs, particularly young ones, starting to pursue a wild animal, very often fail to find their way back.
Yesterday I took my three dogs for a long walk.
In the fields they ran and played freely but when we came into the mountain
forest and I decided to take the young dogs on the leash. Hardly this thought
came into my mind the whole pack rushed down the forested slope after a deer
and in a second disappeared from my eyes. The radio collars didn’t work as the dogs were too excited. In a few minutes to my deep relief I saw two of them running back to me at a high
speed. I thought that in a moment I’d see the third one. But there was none.
After waiting for some time and calling her I came back home, left the
young one there, took the flashlight and went with my elder dog to the mountains again. It
got very dark . The flashlight was of no use because of the thick fog. I
hoped that my herder would return to the spot from where their hunt began, but
in an hour we came back home without any result. Nothing else could be done, at
least at night. “She will come, I’m sure” my daughter said. I kept silent,
knowing well that a lot of dogs get lost even in parks.
How happy we felt when a few hours later we saw through the glass of the door the
familiar shape of our herder.
She found her way back due to her excellent flair, ability to orient herself in the darkness, and to nose and avoid foxes.

Rescue Hero Story About Blu
Name: BluAge: 5 Years
Breed: American pit bull terrier
Owner: Howard and Jennifer
Hometown: Colonia, NJ
My Rescue Story:
Blu was surrendered to NYC Animal Care & Control in July 2009. Likely a victim of the New York City Housing Authority ban on large and "dangerous" breeds, this then 4-year-old pit bull found himself on the euthanasia list in just a few short days. In a shelter flooded with unwanted dogs, most of them pit bulls or pit bull mixes, Blu was just a number. To make things worse for him, he was overweight and had a tumor growing from his chest, two sure-fire turn-offs for potential adopters. Stray From the Heart rescue came across his perfect SAFER (Safety Assessment For Evaluating Rehoming) test results the night before he was scheduled to be euthanized and knew he was a hidden treasure. In what we like to think of as a stroke of good luck, this was the same night we called the rescue to express our interest in adopting an adult dog. Within an hour, we were signing foster care agreements and Stray From the Heart was placing a hold on a dog who was dumped at the high-kill shelter like yesterday's trash just days before. The next day, we walked Blu out of NYC Animal Care & Control and onto the streets of Manhattan. We opened our car door to get him some water and treats only to have him jump up onto the seat in one swift move and give us a look as if to say, "Let's go home, humans! I've been waiting for you to find me!" Taking the queue, we started driving home, with Blu's head resting on the center console between us the entire time. We (the three of us) haven't looked back since. These days, Blu enjoys the simple things in life: snuggles and naps on the couch; playing fetch; chewing on a good bone; and frequenting the Barker Lounge doggy daycare facility. He lives with two feline siblings and two lucky humans who will now always believe that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Blu's tumor was surgically removed post-adoption and the results came back benign. He has now achieved his ideal weight through exercise and good nutrition.

The Illusion Dog Collar & Leash System (Next Generation)
·
The second
generation of The Illusion Collar™ and Leash System is a new and improved
design to assist owners in achieving maximum control during walks, with more
ease and convenience.
·
·
Master the Walk
"By mastering the walk, you have the ability to
truly bond with your dog as her pack leader. The walk is the
foundation of your relationship."
Cesar has long
highlighted the importance of dog owners properly controlling their dogs during
walks, but realized they often lacked the necessary tools to do so. He designed
The Illusion Collar™ and Leash Set to assist owners in achieving maximum control
during walks.
Revolutionary Design
Most dog collars
rest on the strongest part of a dog's neck, giving dogs the leverage they need
to take full control of the walk, and of you, too. The Illusion Collar is
different — it keeps the slip collar at the top of your dog's neck so you can
more effectively control and correct your dog during walks.
New Advanced Features
The collar’s new
clip buckles and connecting straps make it even easier to put on and adjust.
With the new clip buckles, you can adjust the collar once to get the proper
fit, and you are ready to go. No more having to adjust the collar every time
you get your dog ready for a walk. The connecting straps are now permanently
sewn in place eliminating the need for adjustment. These two major improvements
make going on a walk using the Illusion Collar a snap!
