I MADE THIS ONE UP!!!

I just wated to post it for you, but I have NEVER tried it. I took a human recipe, and changed all the "bad-for-dogs" ingredients to "ok-for-dogs" ingredients.

Maybe if you try this and it doesn't turn out, you could offer some suggestions on how to improve it.

I always experiment with treats for Dooie using the things he likes, so I though I would do one for you :)

Hey! I just bought my second yorkie from a wonderful lady, not really a breeder, just a lover of the breed and has 2 or 3 litters a year. Hand raised babies! She has 8 adult yorkies of her own, out of these 7 females she only lets one or two have a litter a year. Anyway, everyone of her yorkies has beautiful white teeth. Even the 7 year old, never had their teeth cleaned! The most beautiful teeth! She gives all of them a spoon (tablespoon or two) of cottage cheese in the morning and at night. I think there is a natural enzyme in the cottage cheese that helps keep the teeth clean, plus the calcium! At this point you may need to let the vet clean them and then try the cottage cheese. Good luck!

BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Oatmeal cookies with a banana twist
Banana ripening: 2 weeks
Hands-on time: 30 minutes
Time to table: 1 hour
Makes about 30 cookies, easily doubled
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup real Maple Syrup
1 very very ripe banana
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup rice flour (fluffed to Airate)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1-1/2 cups oatmeal (old-fashioned or quick, not instant)
Preheat oven to 350F.

Gently warm honey and syrup in the microwave.
With an electric mixer, thoroughly mix in honey, syrup, banana, egg white and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking power, and baking soda into the mixture only small amounts at a time.
With a fork, gently fold in dry ingredients.
Now use the mixer to combine all the ingredients together.
Stir in oatmeal.
Drop dough by tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Bake for 11 – 14 minutes until set and golden. Cool 5 minutes only before removing from tray (do not skip this step or cookies will stick)


***NOTE***
Question: In many veterinarian sites they say that baking powder or soda is really harmful for dogs. So I really want to make a cake or treat for my two dogs, but I am not sure if baking powder is safe?

Chef's Answer ~ You should not feed your dog straight baking powder or baking soda, but using a teaspoon or two in a dog cake or other dog treat should not cause any problems.

FYI

Tricksie loves food. She gets bored with her dry food and I do give her a few honey nut cheerios, green beans, carrots. Was thinking of getting baby food and mixing it with her dry food. Had a Maltese before and he was so sensitive to anything but just Ceaser's. Spent lots of money keeping him alive when he got hold of human food, so I am a little paranoid about Tricksie.

1 C. Whole Wheat pasta (uncooked, organic if possible)
1/4 C. Grated Carrots or Peas
1 T. Butter
1/2 T. all-purpose flour
1 can tuna
1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 C. skim milk
1 tsp Healthy Powder (I just added this to the recipe)
500 iu Vitamin E

Cook pasta according to package directions. (If you use anything larger than small shells, chop it up into smaller pieces so it's easier for them to eat.)


Melt butter in small saucepan. Add milk and flour, and cook over medium-low heat until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheddar cheese until all is melted together. Remove from heat or it will stick to the bottom of the pan.

Drain tuna, put in medium bowl. Add veggies and pasta. Stir in supplements until well distributed. Pour cheese sauce over entire mixture and toss. You can top with a little extra cheese or veggies, if you like.

Makes about 2 cups of food-about 4-6 yorkie meals. I made this and froze half for later. Emma and Milli LOVED it!

I know this is an old post but I wanted to put my 2 cents in on Ceaser's. I sold a puppy to a lady who fed her Ceaser's and deli meats. This is NOT what I told her to give my puppy. The puppy got sick and sicker and sicker. Finally, they thought that she had liver shunt. She had finally stopped the deli meat and come to find out that the Ceaser's was too rich for her system. I don't suppose that using Ceaser's as a treat would be a bad thing but this lady said that the puppy wouldn't eat anything else once she had started eating deli meat and Ceaser's and didn't seem to think we knew what we were talking about. I do think this puppy might have been a special case but please be wary of Ceaser's. Sylvia

Wheat is bad for yorkies why would you put that in a treat for them?
