I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for dog biscuits for ages. I first made it a couple years ago with the kids at the Alexandria House After School program. Once a month we try out a new recipe, and this (along with salsa and fried rice) is still a favorite. I’m sure its popularity was boosted by the fact that after we made the biscuits, the kids packaged them in colorful boxes and gave them to a trainer who trains assistance dogs in a women’s prison, and she brought her German Shepherd for the kids to meet.Because this recipe is so easy, it’s a great one for children. And as for all the dogs I’ve made these biscuits for, they love them. Birdie is particularly fond of a variation with grated carrots in it.

The smaller the better for small dogs.
Note on ingredients:
Because Birdie loves carrots, I sometimes cook some up and mash them into the batter, or grate some raw and mix those in before cooking.

Thanks, Biby. I have fun with it. I only wish I had more time. I have about 20 recipes I've been meaning to post, but only manage to get to about 1-2 a month. Take care, Kim
Thank you for sharing homemade dog biscuit recipe. It makes me want to try one! My question is, is it safe to add matcha green tea powder for these biscuits? Will it be safe? I was going to add something like this:
green tea
I'm not sure if the tea would be good for dogs, if it has caffeine in it. I would definitely ask your vet first. Kim
Good for people to know.
