Dog Food Recipe

Dogs not only survived but thrived on the Dog Food Recipes which came from the human table for thousands of years. Finding free natural home made dog food recipe is not easy. It is only in the last hundred years that we have we been led to believe that dogs can not survive without packaged dog food. We are told that it would be harmful if we were to give them the scraps from our own home cooked meals.

Dog's Biscuits - Dog Food Recipe


  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups oats (uncooked oatmeal)

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 ½ cups corn meal

  • 4 T garlic powder

  • ½ cup oat bran

  • 1/ 3 cup olive oil

  • 3 T honey

  • egg

  • 1 ¼ c ups chicken, beef or vegetable broth

Preheat oven to 300° F. Grease (or line with parchment paper) 2 large cookie sheets. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the egg, oil and stock. Mix well to form a soft dough that is firm enough to roll out. On a floured surface roll out dough to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes and place about 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for two hours, then turn the oven off and let the biscuits sit for several hours until oven is completely cool in order to dry and harden them. Store at room temperature for several months.
