    Default grain free treats?

    Does anyone know of any relatively easy to make grain free treat recipes?

    Homemade Grain Free Dog Treats with Liver and Potato:

    Ingredients:

    * 1 lb. liver
    (see tip below)
    * 1 egg
    * 2 tsp. garlic powder (not garlic salt)
    * 1 1/4 cup potato flakes (see tip below)
    * beef or chicken broth

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400° F
    2. Cut liver in to 1" pieces. The size does not need to be accurate since you will be pureeing it. However, the smaller size helps aid the process.
    3. Place ingredients, liver through potato flakes, into a food processor.
    4. Pulse ingredients.
    5. Be ready to add the broth as needed to make the mixture spreadable into the pan. The consistency will be very thick.
    6. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 pan.
    7. Bake for 25 minutes.
    8. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
    9. Use a knife to loosen, then invert pan and empty onto a wire rack.
    10. Let it cool completely before cutting.

    Storage: Since these dog treats use liver, they will not last as long as other treats. I would recommend no longer than 3 days in a dog treat jar.

    Could they be refrigerated to maintain their freshness?
    An ounce of nutrition is worth a pound of vet bills.

    Try getting some beef liver slices, boiling them for 5 minutes, and then baking them on a cookie sheet at 300F for 2 hours. Slice them up when they are done... dogs LOVE them (even my PICKY guy)!

    But, the smell when they are baking is HORRIBLE... so if you make them, be prepared! Good luck.

    1 chicken breast, raw: cubed.

    totally grain-free, species appropriate, nutritionally excellent, and my dogs totally dig it.


    I also use fish oil capsules as treats.

    I absolutely love Stella and Chewy's Carnivore Crunches and Carnivore Kisses. These are dehydrated raw nuggets. Grain free and meat-based. Comes in chicken, duck, or beef.

    These are high value treats so I use them in obedience class with my Lab.
