OK, I haven't had luck on a web search. In the past I have seen a
recipe for making one's own doggie treats. Basically wheat flour,
garlic powder for the stinky value, and whatever to bake into a firm,
dry, cut-out biscuit. But I can't find it/them now. Anyone have a
recipe?

I'm the foster father at a distance of a cocker spaniel in New Orleans,
a Katrina storm survivor. Long story. Paid some bills for care and
medical, can't take him home cross-country, at least just now. So I
want to send a personalized care package to his step-mom, including
treats for the mutt and others in the nest.

Next I need to investigate how bad it is for dogs to travel in an
airplane baggage hold. But that's another story.

So, anyone have a recipe for doggie biscuits?

My dog will eat anything that falls on the floor. I can't see
wanting to make it any more complicated than that.

Ooh, oh! thanks all. I'll check them out.

I know about the fall-on-the-floor formula. I just want some things
that I can make and box up and mail, instead of just writing checks and
saying, "Buy something for them." More the personal touch. So,
maybe I'm a repressed canine grandma.

Hi doggy lover at a distance.
Instead of posting links, I prefer to give recipe(s)
Here is the one I have made a couple of times.
I make 1/2 a recipe, because the whole recipe is sooo much for a small
Dachsy.
Also make sure that the dog is NOT allergic to corn and peanutbutter....
I tasted the baked cookie myself, because this is "People" food ingredients;
and although bland they were good.

SPIKE'S VERY OWN (Dog Cookies)
2 C. quick-cooking oats (1)
1/2 C. margarine, cut into pieces (1/4)
4 beef or chicken bouillon cubes ( 2 tsp. chicken stock powder)
2 C. boiling water (1 c)
2 C. whole wheat flour (1 c)
1-1/2 C. yellow cornmeal (3/4)
2 T. sugar (1tbs)
1 C. milk (1/2 c buttermilk)
2 large eggs (1)
2 C. grated cheese (optional) (1)
2 to 4 C. all-purpose flour (1 1/2)
optional 1 tbs. of peanutbutter
Note : amounts between (parentheses )are for 1/2 a recipe)
Preheat oven to 350°F . Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Measure oats into a medium bowl, top with pieces of margarine and the
bouillon cubes. Pour in boiling water and let sit 10 minutes to dissolve the
margarine and bouillon cubes. Mix well, then add whole wheat flour,
cornmeal, sugar, milk, eggs and optional cheese. Add enough of the all
purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Mix well, using hands if necessary.
Roll out dough. The thinner the dough, the crisper the baked treats
will be. Use bone- or cat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Bake on
prepared cookie sheets until hard, 5 to 15 minutes depending on how thin the
dough is rolled. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.
Dutchess - Grandma of (now) 2 dachsies.
