HEALTY DOGGIE BISCUITS
Recipe:  Sabrina Merli
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup flour
½ cup dry powdered milk
½  cup jungle oats
½ cup peanut butter (please ensure no Xylitol in the ingredients not good for dogs)
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 extra large egg beaten
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 cup water

Mix all ingredients in mixer.
Roll out and cut into shapes, I leave mine slightly thicker for the big dog and rolled out thinner for the smaller ones.
Brush the biscuits with the egg wash and add oats on top bake at 170°C for about 45 – 60 mins.

CRUNCHY TUNA CAT TREATS
210 g tuna in vegetable oil
3⁄4 cup rye flour (normal whole meal flour is fine)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
water

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Mix tuna, rye and parsley together well, breaking up tuna pieces so they are soft and mushy.
Add water gradually, as is needed to make a firm dough that is easy to mould into a small shape.
Roll a teaspoon-sized amount of the dough between your palms, creating a small round ball. Flatten the ball so it becomes disc-shaped.
Repeat process until all mixture is used, placing each biscuit disc onto a lightly greased oven tray.
Bake in your 180°C oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Turn oven off, though leave tray in until oven has completely cooled. (This will help to dry out the biscuits further, and therefore help the treats keep for longer).
When biscuits have cooled completely, they are ready to serve. Handy as an occasional treat, and/or an addition to your pet’s everyday dry food.
Store treats in an air-tight container in the pantry.

HOMEMADE CRUNCHY CAT TREATS
1 canned pink salmon or tuna, no salt added and packed in water, drained
1 cup oat flour*
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 heaping tablespoon dried catnip

*It’s easy to make your own oat flour. Simply grind old-fashioned oats in a spice grinder (or a super clean coffee grinder) until it is transformed into a light powder. There you have it — oat flour!
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, combine drained salmon or tuna, oat flour, egg, olive oil and catnip. Pulse until mixture comes together. Bits of fish and dry food will remain but the mixture will easily form into small balls. It will be thick but pliable and not terribly sticky.
Roll dough into 1/2 teaspoon balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Use a fork to press marks into each cookie ball.
Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are dried on top and slightly browned. Allow to cool completely before offering to your kitty.
Place treats in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
