Liver Treats (training)
Cook liver in water on top of stove until done.(4 minutes at, at most). Drain, cool and cut into bite-size pieces. Put them on a lined baking sheet (I have never lined my pans and they do not stick) and place in a cool oven (about 200 degrees) for about 2 hours or until dried out. These are wonderful training treats and are not messy to carry around in your pocket. If you keep them covered in the refrigerator, they last several months.

Health Biscuits for Skin, Coat, Teeth and Bones
This recipe is the pet equivalent of a nutrition drink or even a
mulit-vitamin. The ingredients here will supply your pet with many vitamins and minerals and provides a nice balanced ratio of energy from carbohydrates, protein & heart healthy unsaturated fat.
1 lb. fully cooked, diced or ground chicken, beef or turkey
1 can (8-10oz.) chopped mackerel
2 c. soy flour
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. rye flour
1 c. cornmeal
1 c. wheat germ
1 c. nonfat dry milk
1/4 c. alfalfa powder
3 t. bone meal (or 3 t. rinsed ground eggshells)
1 t. sea salt
4 T. olive oil
1 T. cod liver oil
1 vitamin E capsule, 400 IU
1 qt. (4 cups) water
Preheat the oven to 350°. Add all of the ingredients one at a time, to a large mixing bowl. As you add the ingredients, mix them together by stirring, by hand, with a large spoon or wire whisk. Make sure each ingredient is well blended before adding the next. As you continue to add the ingre-
dients the mixture will begin to form a heavy, firm dough. When it becomes difficult to mix, use your hands to knead the dough & mix in any remaining ingredients, Adjust the consistency by adding more water or flour as needed. Then use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a thin sheet, about 1/4" thick. Prepare baking sheets by spraying then with non-stick cooking spray. Then use a cookie or biscuit cutter, or a knife to cut the dough into desired shapes for the biscuits.
For cats, it is best to cut the dough into tiny squares or ribbons rather than cookies. Arrange each cutout shape on prepared baking sheets spacing them about 1" apart or less for smaller shapes. Reuse any dough scraps that form by re-rolling & cutting them. Then, when you can no longer make any more biscuits, place the baking sheets into preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Then remove to biscuits to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely. Store in airtight containers until ready to use and keep refrigerated.
Makes about 3 dozen biscuits depending on size.
