I don't have dogs, but I made these for a dog's birthday party with beef and they all went crazy for it. One even bit through the bag to get to the treats. Very easy to make. I pureed the batter in a food processor to make the dough smooth. Then I scooped them out with a cookie scoop and flattened them with a fork and flattened them with the fork for a little design.

My dog really likes these treats - I use chopped bacon instead of ground pork.

Thanks for sharing this! I have 2 large dogs and a min-pin, and they all love these biscuits. I've used pork and beef in the recipe, and am going to try ground turkey. Now they snub their noses at the store bought biscuits!

I made these for my friends dogs and they were well received, although not the favourite choice of the pups. Also, they were a bit more difficult to make as the mixture is really sticky and I had to knead in a whole lot extra flour to be able to even roll it out. If you are looking for a meat/veggie based biscuit they are pretty good.

After reading the other reviews that stated pork is potentially bad for dogs, I omitted the pork. Instead I used a 6 oz. jar of beef/macaroni baby food. Instead of water and a bouillon cube, I used 1/2 cup of low sodium beef broth. I didn't measure out the grated carrot, I just used 1 large one. I also added a bunch of fresh chopped parsley. Finally, instead of the shortening I used about 2 Tbsp. bacon grease. I omitted the salt because I didn't think it was necessary.

My dogs go crazy for these biscuits. The only problem I have is that they beg for them more than regular snacks.

I HAVE to write a comment for this recipe because of all the praise I'm getting for it. I have been trying to get rid of some venison burger and this recipe is doing it for me. My dog loves them and everyone I've given them too has asked for the recipe. I feel good knowing what's in my dog treats too.

Great recipe! It had the basics so I could adjust to my dogs personal taste. I used chicken liver instead of ground pork, and fat free half and half instead if the water and powdered milk. I also omitted the salt and garlic powder. My dogs loved them and so did their friends, we gave them out as Christmas presents. Bid hit:) I will use it again soon.

I have 2 beagles that loves these cookies. One of which is never too happy with the store bought biscuits, but give her one of these and she looses her mind. I made some changes just like everyone else and used boneless - skinless chicken breast that I put in the food processor to chop up after boiling. I eliminated the salt since the chicken bouillon tends to have too much salt already. Kept everything else the same and I have a cookie that my dogs would die for.

These are the BEST biscuits your dog will ever have! Just be careful you don't give in to them too often...lest your dog blimps out :-) However, I too, varied this recipe slightly to utilize what I had on hand (added 1 cup of cornmeal to the wheat flour....added a packet of yeast, bacon grease vs shortening, a few tbsps wheat germ and an extra egg with 1 cup of crushed up (cooked) hamburger & handful of shredded cheese since I had no carrots on hand. Vary it up...you can't go wrong if you use this as the strong foundation. - cw

I made these for my dog as well as my neighbors and they both went nuts for them. I didnt have everything needed on hand, so I changed the recipe a little bit. Instead of beef bouillon I used chicken bouillon, and I didnt have carrots, so I skipped that all together. I didnt want to cook some sausage just for the grease so I cut up some sliced pepperoni I had, and I used 2 eggs. After breakfast this weekend I will make more with the sausage drippings.

I changed some things with this recipe, but it's a good base. I cut the shortening down to 3 tablespoons, omitted the salt, and used 1 jar of beef baby food instead of the ground pork. Pork allergies are common in dogs and they also don't have a taste for salt like humans do. Instead of the water and dry milk I used 1/2 cup of 1% milk, since that's all I had on hand. Also, don't bother putting them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets... I pack mine on there, almost touching. They do not expand during baking, they shrink if anything. My Patterdale Terrier went bonkers for these! :)

My dog is very picky and doesn't normally like treats. He really liked these though. I used ground beef instead of pork. I was glad to see carrots in this recipe since he LOVES them so much. My neighbor's dogs practically ate my hand off for these biscuits!!

I have made this recipe 5 times already and my dogs gobble these right up! I substituted chicken thighs(took off the skin), lean ground beef, and liver for the pork. I love that my two spoiled dogs are getting carrots, eggs, milk and whole wheat in these biscuits! I actually have fun creating different shapes with my cookie cutters too! I also give these away as gifts for my family and friends with dogs. I put about 6 in a zip lock bag and enclose the directions, and tie up with a cute bow. Now, all my friends are making this recipe! I will be making more batches for the freezer as well. These are very healthy and with NO preservatives! Thank you for submitting this healthy, doggie delicious recipe.

Bouillon and salt are not so good for dogs - so I eliminated the salt and crumbled some dehydrated liver squares in instead. Thanks for the recipe though!
