Heat oven to 350°. Pulse 10 oz. canned salmon in a food processor, until finely chopped. 2. In a standing mixer, combine salmon, beaten egg and 2 cups whole wheat flour, until dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add up to ⅓ cup water. If the dough is too wet or sticky, add a bit more flour. Dough should be tacky but not sticky. 3. Roll out dough on a floured surface, until about ¼-inch thick. Use a ¾-inch cookie cutter in the shape of your choice to create your treats. 4. Place treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake at 350° for about 20 minutes. When they’re slightly browned and crunchy, they’re done. 5. Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight con- tainer for up to 2 weeks. Yield: Makes 120 small treats. DOGGONE PURRFECT SNACKS We all want the very best for our pets.

Preheat the oven to 375°. Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. Combine peanut butter and skim milk in another bowl. Add wet mixture to dry, and blend well. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead. Roll out dough to ¼-inch thickness, and cut out bone shapes. 2. Place on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 20 min- utes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely on the rack, and store in an airtight container for no longer than one week.

Avoid peanut butter that contains xylitol, since xylitol is highly toxic for pets. Homemade Treats for Your Pet
