I found a recipe in my grandmother’s scrawling handwriting for homemade Dog Snax and decided to bake some. Having no dog of our own, we took the crunchy treats to the pound and handed them out to some very eager yet incredibly sweet dogs. Not one refused once it was pushed into their kennel. I’d say this recipe was a success!

| What did I say? E-A-G-E-R! |
Ingredients (makes about 20 three inch by one inch dog treats):
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
3/4 nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 Tablespoon (about six cubes) instant beef, pork or chicken bouillon, dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 300F for 45 minutes until browned and crunchy when cooled.

You are so sweet to those shelter dogs, Rachael!
They're so darling that we can't keep away! I wish we could do more than hand out dog treats, haha! I'm already looking forward to adopting one (or two…).
This is such a great idea! And a great lesson for the kids. I am going to have to try this!
As a dog lover without a dog, it's a fun way to cheer up some stray dogs and do a little volunteering with little kids. Hope you get a chance to try it!
I have one question about the meat bouillion. The recipe said 1 T (about 6 cubes) of instant bouillion. That is two totally different measurements. Should I put 1 T or 6 cubes? Thank you!!! I can't wait to try these for our two girls.
I just thought about the measurements again and I'm wrong…sorry!!! It's been a very long week. DUH!!! Thanks Again!!!
Haha, no problem! I have those weeks too.
