One lady even told me that my dog biscuits saved her dog health; her dog had terrible skin problems and was constantly loosing hair and had dry, cracked skin. After a few weeks eating my peanut butter dog biscuits, she saw major improvements in the dogs coat! I was so happy, I almost cried.

Anyways, this is the recipe for your use:

Ingredients:
3 cups of whole wheat flour
1 cup of wheat germ
1 cup of oatmeal (any kind)
3 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil (not too much)
dash of salt
1 teaspoon of milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon of flaxmeal

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly
Kneed dough thoroughly
Cut into desired shapes
Set oven to convection at 325 degrees farenheit
Bake biscuits for 20 minutes
Turn biscuits over and bake for 20 more minutes
All biscuits to cool before serving.

This is a very large batch that will make 60 to 70 small biscuits. They last 5 to 7 days so make sure to freeze unused portions. My dog seems to like them frozen, as well as fresh!

I would be careful about biscuits with cheese, my dog suffered red itchy skin around the eyes whenever he had any cheese. Of course that was the ONLY skin we could see, it could have been all over him.

Dogs are like people unfortunately, mine loved oranges, bananas, green beans and peppers. Any biscuits with japapeno peppers or a dash of hot sauce were a sure hit with him.

Rice flour is safer to use than wheat flour if a dog has allergies, and can be substituted.

Doggy Biscotti

1 cup canned pumpkin [not pie filling; E.D. Smith has pure pumpkin, while Stokeley has a pumpkin/squash mix. Read the label]
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup liquid honey
2 Tbsp. oil (canola or olive)
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour (white or brown)
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda

Pre-heat oven to 350° F

Whisk together in a large bowl the pumpkin and all the liquid ingredients. Stir in the cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda until well mixed; then stir in the flour.

Using your hands, knead the dough until it holds together. Remove to a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal parts. Shape each piece into a log shape and flatten to approximately 4 inches wide. Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the logs and place the logs about four inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven approximately 40 minutes or until firm. Remove and place pan on a rack to cool for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 300°.
