    FLEA FIGHTER FINGERS

    This dough is very easy to handle. It makes a nice, dark biscuit and helps your pet repel fleas because of the presence of brewer’s yeast. Makes about 100 small cookies.


    2 beef bouilon cubes ( I add 4 to combat the brewer’s yeast)

    1 3/4 cups boiling water

    1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

    1 cup rye flour

    1 cup quick cooking rolled oats

    1 cup cornmeal, stone ground

    1/4 cup brewer’s yeast ( debittered)

    2 tbps garlic powder ( I double this to combat brewers yeast.)

    1/2 cup vegetable oil

    1 egg well beaten


    1. In a 2 cup measuring cup, dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water and set aside until at room temperature.

    2. In a large mising bowl, combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the flour mixture and gradually stir in oil, egg and bouillon until well blended.

    3. Divide dough into 2 balls, so it is easy to work with. Knead each dough ball on a floured surface, about 3-4 minutes. With rolling pin, roll dough to between 1/4 and 1/2 “ thickness. Cut into bite size pieces or use cookie cutter.

    4. Line baking sheet with foil. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 300 F. Cool on rack until hard and store at room temperature, in a container with a loose fitting lid.

    My dogs (Nessie and Fritzie ) enjoy my additions to this
    recipe. Without the doubling of beef cubes and garlic
    they did eat them, but prefer the extra taste ones.
    It seems to hide the brewer’s yeast.

    But then
    I have gourmet dogs,who prefer people cookies
    to Milk Bone ones.

    PLAQUE BUSTER BISCUTS

    This biscut has a very hard, crunch texture that will help scape the build-up
    of plaque off your dog’s teeth. Makes about 70 cookies.


    3/4 cup Powdered skim milk

    1/2 cup Cornmeal, stone ground

    1/4 cup bulghar wheat (bulgar) - Looks like ground up sand
    Health food store should have it.

    2 1/4 cups Whole wheat flour

    1 cube chicken bouillon cube

    1 1/2 cups boiling water

    1 cup quick cooking rolled oats

    1 egg beaten


    1. In a mixing bowl, cobine powdered skim mild, cornmeal, bulghar wheat and
    flour and set aside.

    2. In a lare mixing bowl, dissolve bouillon cube in boiling water. Add rolled oats and let
    stand, about 5 minutes. Then stir in beaten egg.

    3. Gradually stir in dry ingredients, half a cup at a time, until well blended. The last few
    cupfuls, blend with your hands.

    4. Divide dough into 2 balls, Knead each dough ball on floured surface for about 5 minutes

    5. Roll out dough in 1/4” to 1/2” Thickness. Line baking sheet. Cut with cookie cutter or in
    pieces with knife.

    6. Bake 50 minutes at 325 F (160C).

    7. Turn oven off and let bisuits cool several hours or overnight in oven.

    8 Store at room temperatures in a container with loose fitting lid.

    XMAS PEANUT BUTTER

    1/2 cup All Purpose Flour

    1 Tbsp Baking Powder

    1 cup Peanut Butter ( smooth or crunky)

    Thank you so much...I've wondered about making my own dog biscuits for years....ever since Providence was on tv....one of the characters baked doggie cookies and bars! I can't wait to try these....I just have to find bulgar and brewer's yeast. We make our own sorghum molasses here on the farm...that tastes so much better than blackstrap...I know my little LadyBug will love these.
