Gluten Free Dog Biscuit Recipe

- 1 Lb ground meat ( lamb, beef, chicken, turkey ) Lamb and beef tend to be higher in fat. Chicken and turkey might be a better choice for an overweight dog. - 1 large sweet potato ( cooked and mashed ) - 1 large egg - 1/4 tsp garlic powder ( not garlic salt )or one large clove pressed - 5 tbsp. large flake rolled oats ( organic if possible ) or 4 tbsp. ground flax seed meal

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mixing up very well.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. ( very slightly )
Dump ingredients on cookie sheet and spread evenly and flatly to the sides of pan. This should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Remove pan from oven and use your cookie cutter at this time, if you want. If you don't have a cookie cutter, just score the 'cookie dough 'with a knife or pizza cutter, into squares.
Put back into the oven and bake for another hour at 250 degrees.
This will dry these healthy dog treats out. Keep an eye on your oven. The time could be more or less, depending on how hot your oven runs.
These dog treats should be fairly dry and a little crispy, but not burned.

Slowly Converting Friends

Our good friend Schylar had surgery a couple of weeks ago. When I spoke to his owner he told me he was force feeding him. I took over a couple of containers of raw food for him. We heard that he defended his food from the other pups. Dogs like this stuff!

Miles Davis

Meet little Miles Davis. When he came to us a bit over a year ago he was anticipated to only weigh 4lb fully grown. He's now almost 8lbs. I attribute this to his raw food diet.

I've recently begun adding more oatmeal to the dog's diet. I want to keep the protein levels around 25%. My breakdown is 25% protein, 25% cereal (oatmeal and flax), 10% moisture, 35% vegetables and fruit, 5% healthy powder.
In the vegetables, I'm also adding some need leaves that were picked fresh, chopped and frozen. I'm lucky to have a neem tree in my yard.
