Both of my furry children love these, and I make them regularly. Here are my tweeks: I use any leftover meat, dicing it. Rather than rolling the dough out and using cookie cutters, I drop small spoonfuls on the cookie sheet and flatten them a bit. I bake them until the edges get brown, and after removing them from the oven and cookie sheet, I leave them out for awhile. This hardens them, which I think is better for my dogs' teeth. Thanks for this recipe!

My dog is crazy about this biscuit. Instead of pork, I used ground beef and my pooch love it!

Dog LOVES these; heck, I ate 3! They're savory, a little cheesy, and quite filling for tiny cookies. I used a half-cup milk instead of the dry milk + water, as someone suggested. Instead of hassling with cooking ground pork, or buying that CRAZY expensive babyfood meat, I used one 3-oz. can of Armour Potted Meat (it's not gonna kill us). Added a handful of grated cheese in with the carrots. Also, I mixed the final batter with my hands, shaped it into balls, rolled gently in flour, and smashed them with a fork like peanut-butter cookies... easier than rolling and cutting if you have limited space. Butter-flavor shortening worked fine, too. I'll make these again.

I subsituted beef and liver for the pork. Dogs should NOT eat any pork. Other than that, and the omission of salt, they were okay.

Threw in a teas. peanut butter and T of shredded cheese. No salt no boullion... I also didn't have milk powder so I used milk and less water...

I used 2 jars of beef and vegetable baby food and 1 tsp of beef bouillon paste. I recommend more flour if you go the baby food route. I had to knead in more flour because it was sticking to my counters badly but in just a couple minutes I was able to get it to just the right consistency. Then I cut them out with a halloween cat cookie cutter and they turned out great. I oiled one cookie sheet and not the other and found that the oil wasn't needed at all. The dogs loved these and my cats even ate a piece that was dropped on the counter.

The neighbors dog loves them. I added some left over ground upliver, used juices from last nithes beef roast and omited the powdered milk because I did not have any. The dog was doing tricks before I asked hime to, he loved them so much.
