Cheese Dog Bone Treats

"I made these one year for a fundraiser bake sale for the local animal shelter... I figured, it's a bake sale, why not animal treats? They're not hard to make, and your pooch will love them. NOTE: these are not intended as people food."

Questions & Replies

  1. Garlic, like other members of the Allium family, contain compounds called disulfides and thiosulphates which can be toxic cats and dogs if ingested. The ingestion of garlic causes conditions called hemolytic anemia, Heinz body anemia, and methemoglobinemia which are all manifestation of damage to red blood cells.

  2. Two dew claws up! Very, very easy to make. I used parsley rather than garlic, and weak beef broth rather than water. Darcy, our 3 month old GSD thinks these treats are wonderful! I used a 1 inch heart shaped cookie cutter and got 70 treats. With the scraps I did re-roll them, cut into small chewing gum strips to snap off for training treats. Thanks for posting!

  4. The Boxer boys LOVE these treaties!! I made them with a combination of provolone (their personal favorite) cheddar cheese and mozarella. I didn't add the garlic this time, but will next batch. It will be in the monthly rotation for them from mommy (I bake their treats once per week)..Thanks for sharing EdsGirlAngie, slurps, hugs & kisses from the Boxer boys!!

Tweaks

  1. Substitute parsley for garlic. All members of the album family (garlic, leeks, onions and chives) contain disulfides and thiosulphates which can be toxic cats and dogs if ingested. These substances break down red blood cell walls resulting in anemia, at times severe.
     
  2. Substitute parsley for garlic. Garlic and other members of the allum family (onions, leeks and chives) contain disulfides and thiosulphates which are toxic to pets. They break down red blood cells in dogs and cats, causing severe anemia.
     
  3. My pups loved these!! One of my dogs actually got into a bit of trouble...he jumed on the counter and started going to town on the treats! I used parsley instead of the garlic and used beef broth instead of water...I will make this several times!!! I'm giving some away for X-mas gifts!!!
