Healthy Doggy Snack

by Janice Kumar
Keeping a dog healthy is a challenge. Especially when dogs are prone to eating and sniffing at almost any kind of food. A dog is also prone to picking up ticks and fleas from the environment and other 'friendly' dogs and pets. The pet owner goes through pain and suffering when the beloved pet falls ill. A healthy and happy pet keeps the pet owner also happy and joyous.
Healthy food which is well balanced and contains essential nutrients is a must have for all pet dogs. This kind of food helps prevent illness and helps in all around development of the dog. It is not healthy to give a dog left overs as these left overs can contain fungus and toxic compounds which may be unhealthy for pets. Leftovers are not necessarily a balanced meal for the pet dog.
I give below a Dog Biscuit Recipe which is vegetarian. It is healthy and also helps prevent ticks in the dog.
To create this Super Doggie Veggie Biscuit, collect the following ingredients.
One garlic clove
60 grams margarine or butter.
150 grams whole wheat flour
60 grams grated cheese
60- 70 grams mixed chopped vegetables like beans, carrots, cabbage.
Milk
The Process is as follows.
Crush the garlic clove and keep it in a cup.
Now mix the grated cheese and margarine (butter) together in a mixing pan. To this mixture add the crushed garlic clove and mix thoroughly so that the garlic is spread evenly throughout the mixture. It is this, garlic which will help prevent ticks and flea infection in the fur of the dog.
Add the chopped vegetables to this mixture and then stir in the whole wheat flour. Stir well and add milk as required to form a a ball shape which stays together.
Refrigerate for up to a couple of hours to harden the flour ball ( with all the ingredients mixed in).
Now roll on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes. You may create circular biscuits or square ones as desired.
Bake these raw biscuits in an oven at 375 Degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 minutes or until they are slightly brown.
Remove the tray from the oven, let the biscuits cool on their own before offering them to the pet as a tasty healthy snack.
It is munch time !!
