I am getting ready to go to the store to get wheat flour, and a few other ingredients to make these snacks. we made it though last night but the girls this morning are little pistols! they are wanting their treats. so i have to come up with something.
The only pill i have a hard time giving with wet (dry dog food) is the Demarin- i guess the shape of it and the coating on it.. the food wont stick. this morning the Soloxine was easy to give stuffing it in a piece of dog food. so this morning when i gave her the demarin (at 4am) I used canned food (innova senior) with turkey...but I used such a small amount it didn't even cover the pill) until i come up with a better idea on what to use for that. I have to do that bc the wet food wont stick unless i use a large amount of it. like 2 pieces of food that are wet and that's too much.

and I gave them the Old Moth Hubb treats until i make some today. I only gave her a speck and she was content with that. the tinest little piece was all.

do you think it's okay that i use mollases in the treats i make? I am open to ideas as i am clueless. :-) i shouldn't use any meat in them. How about some chicken base or chicken broth? would that hurt?

I don't know why Old Mother Hubbard uses onions but they should never be given to dogs. Garlic is okay for normal dogs in very small amounds. Both can cause anemia.
