I keep a months supply in the refrigerator and the rest in the freezer. He really loves these, and you can make so many for just $1.00. There are also other recipes where you can put the liver in a food processor, and add eggs and whole-wheat floor, and make essentially a liver cookie that dogs love. Cheerios are another favorite of mine, especially when they are puppies and you are training them a lot.

I also use Merrick Bully Sticks, but not as a treat, more as a bone substitute that helps keep their teeth clean, and fill their chewing need.

thanks for the recipe! hehe...will have to try these!

Be careful when buying treats made of chicken or any meat at Walmart, as MOST of them sold there are Made in China, and also contain many by-products so be careful. Imported dog chicken treats from China have been linked to many sick dogs. If I were going to buy from Walmart, I would only get the human food treats suggested and maybe the 3 Dog Bakery and Newman's Own Treats as long as you don't mind Wheat .

Apple gets five (only 5) blueberries everyday for treats, but I soak them in a little vinegar water for about 20 minutes to make sure there's no pesticides, etc. on them...I do this for myself too, but I eat more than five lol...I also give her Innova small baked bar treats, but I break them in half and she has 1/2 mid afternoon, and 1/2 about 9:30 at night...She's on innova puppy...I also give her frozen green beans (2 or 3), if I'm cooking them for myself...She only has cheese, when I'm giving her her heartworm meds (once a month) 'cause I think there's too much fat in it, and don't want to mess around getting pancreitis...Oh, and 2 or 3 organic spinach leaves, when I'm making my juice, in the morning....

Green beans (she goes nuts over), carrots, cheese, lettuce and parsley.

Cali Girl loves dried fruit, Sunmaid makes a mixture of dried apples, apricots, & prunes.
her fav is pieces of cut up apple with a little of peanut butter. She has that once a month, when she gets her heatworm treatment.
