Those that use normal ingredients (not cat food, liver, etc) are taste tested by me and my doggies of course. Those that have the weird things in them are tested strictly by me doggies. They love the liver brownies and the catfood cookies. The liver brownies smelled terrible when they were being bakd and don't smell so great now that they've been cut and packaged for consumption. I did make a batch of rolled cookies that are actually pretty decent tasting and fairly low-cal to boot. My dogs love them!!!

Most dogs LOVE, LOVE, LOVE liver, which is why it is used often as "bait" by dog show handlers. It is likely the top choice if dogs were voting. But liver is quite rich for dogs, their stool can turn to diarrhea if they eat much, also that richness can cause gas which the owners may not appreciate! Another "bait" often used at shows is hot dogs, or chicken, perhaps those would smell better as far as the baking, I know I can't bear the smell of liver.

Good luck, it sounds like FUN!!! :D

Congratulations to you!

My two Labs, Abby and Molly, have just volunteered to be taste testers of your treats. I told them that would be fine if they could come up with plane tickets.....lol

I'm not sure Maya, my shepherd, would agree to house guests unless they are willing to play with her for hours on end. :D

Maya sounds just like Abby. They would get along great! Molly is more laid back, she is "mature". They're both looking under the couch cushions right now for change so they can buy tickets!

Making dog treats sounds like a very interesting job. Good luck with it.

I love seeing the conversation between you and Joan about your dogs. I can just picture a dog's nose under the cushion of a couch looking for change but coming up with cookie crumbs instead! :lol:

I know Maya and Buddy, the boxer, are great housekeepers if it involves dropped food or anything that they think might be edible to include spilled cat food. Abby can come play with Maya anytime and Max can visit with Buddy. I'm sure all parties would have a good time. While they're busy, you and I can go hit a couple of fabric stores. How's that sound?
