Juno has been going through dog treats like I go through mental breakdowns, so I decided to make some of our own!

I was getting a bit concerned that she was eating a lot of crap, because the crap is what she works for. Normal crunchy kibble? Bleh, that’s boring! Why would she heel for a piece of bland breakfast?

So here’s my haphazard recipe for “Juno’s stimky limver delight”

⚠️ Fair warning, this shit STANKY so open a window! ⚠️

Step 1: blend a pack of liver! We used lambs liver. Don’t ask the weight, I don’t have the cognitive function to make notes of these things. Just much liver as you can stomach blending! Don’t forget to use the nasty myoglobin that the liver sits in! Yum. I also rinsed the packet and poured the bloody water into the bowl.

Step 2: sprinkle in some flour to thicken up that disgusting paste and mix it all in! You can blend it, or fold it. As long as it’s a nice thick pasty substance with no floury lumps.

Step 3: add a dash of oil to help it all bond! I wanted to use eggs for this, but alas, no egg! Next time I will try two eggs instead of a dash of oil to keep it healthier. Add some more flour if it’s looking a lil sloppy.

Step 4: here’s your chance to add some extras if you so wish! Chicken bits? Peanut butter? Tiny chunks of kibble? Whatever floats your boat. I had some bacon in the fridge that needed using, so I chopped two slices of bacon into tiny pieces to add some flavour. We need high value for results and bacon will do it!

Step 5: scrape that smelly mess into a baking tray and spread it out evenly. Mine was spread maybe 2 cm thick, if you want some chonky treats maybe try a smaller, deeper dish and bake through for longer. Line with foil or baking paper if you don’t have anything non-stick, like I did.

Step 6: bake for 12-15 minutes!

Step 7:

Don’t forget to lick the spatula!

Step 8: Remove from the baking cavity most commonly known as an oven, and leave in a safe place to cool.

Step 9: taste test!

✅ Juno approved

Step 10: cut into tiny snacc sized pieces and pop them in an airtight container to store in the fridge.

And voila! You now have a slightly healthier and cheaper alternative to training treats! EMJOY

Anyone wants to bake some tasty treats with us? Pretty easy and apparently very delicious according to Lokis appetite ☺️

Dog icecream:

Dog food and liver paste

I simply took her dry food, poured some warm water on it until soft, added liver paste and mashed it all together (mixed)

Put it all in ice trays and into the freezer!

Done!

I added the liver to boozt the taste, it works totally fine without it if your dog already like their food!

[thepetblrcookbook]

Honestly these look good for even human snacks! You and your pup can share together!

So, my friend has these treat recipes, so I thought to share. These are her images as well : ) You can eat these too :/

Berry of choice gummies:

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons of gelatin (flavour of berry i.e. blueberry), 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of pureed berries (of choice).

Step 1: Put the gelatin in the hot water, stir until dissolved

Step 2: Puree berries

Step 3: Mix berries into the gelatin mix

Step 4: Pour the mix into any shaped silicone mold

Step 5: Place in fridge to set

Total time: 30-50 minutes (mostly setting time)

- We did raspberry flavored gummies

Banana crisps:

Ingredients: Bananas

Step 1: Preheat oven to 100°C (210°F)

Step 2: Chop up the bananas into thin slices (long or short, it's up to you)

Step 3: Cook in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes (or longer to have a crisper banana (or shorter (not by much) to have a less crisper banana))

Step 4: Leave it to cool once it's out the oven

Total time: 1 hour and 35-40 minutes

Pumpkin biscuits:

Ingredients: 2/3 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of peanut butter (no xylitol), 2 eggs, 3 cups whole wheat flour

Step 1: Preheat oven to 280°C (350°F) and grab a baking tray with baking paper/parchment paper

Step 2: Mix everything together (easier with an electric mixer, but if you'd prefer to use your hands, or a whisk, go ahead. Mix until they're fully combined. If it's sticky add more flour, and if it's dry add more pumpkin puree

Step 3: With a lightly floured surface roller/roller, roll the dough out and cut it into shapes (any shape will do). After, place them on the baking tray (you might need two depending on your shape)

Step 4: Cook until the edges are golden brown for 20-25 minutes

Step 5: Leave to cool

Total cook time: 40-45 minutes

- If you don't have pumpkin/dog is allergic to pumpkin, you can use sweet potato puree

- You can use gluten flour if needed

Wow they look amazing! And what a cute pooch!

Chef Marlo presents: Pup-sicles of Destruction*

(*Destruction optional)

YOU WILL NEED

Some canned dog food of choice (I used tripe and a pouch of lamb puree) and some kibble.

Stick that stuff in a bowl and mix it until it’s the consistency of mashed potatoes.

(Gross)

Spoon that mixture into a mold. If you feel like adding the Destruction element, spoon into cardboard containers (my favourite are empty TP rolls or egg cartons). Alternatively, spoon into muffin tins or small tupperware dishes. I fill mine about half-full. 

Stick them in the freezer for a few hours. Allow the chef to clean the bowl in the meantime, because she works hard.

Remove from freezer and give to the dog (If using a muffin tin, run the bottom of it under hot water for the pup-sicles to easily fall out). Chef Marlo recommends giving them as a cool treat directly after a walk!

I disliked the extra filler ingredients in store bought cat treats, so I made my own! I used beef liver, beef round steak, and thin pork chops. Pharoh’s fav is for sure the liver!!
