Wheaty Bones

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 19:59:33 -0500

I adapted this recipe for my dogs because I wanted something relatively low fat (they have to go to the vet pretty soon and I don't want her to call them Snausages again) that they'd like. I didn't want to use dairy products or garlic because of possible adverse effects on the girls. I've tested these out on the girls and they seem to really like them. -- posted by Chicagopm

Microwave Birdy Bread Cones

Sun, 15 May 2005 21:39:03 -0400

I stumbled across this recipe and just HAD to make it for my feathered friends. My birds, 2 cockatiels, a cockatoo and a lovebird, go wild for this stuff. Those guys eat better than the human members of my family..lol. I love them dearly and really enjoy cooking up things to please them. Only the lovebird does not seem to care for this recipe, choosing a different birdy bread recipe for himself (the little gourmet) This is made in a microwave and takes about 30 seconds to make. Serve only as a treat!!***This recipe calls for 1/4 cup Rainbow Exact Pellets (available at pet store) but I was unable to list them as they are not exactly a "common" ingredient. -- posted by BirdyBaker

Puddin my pekingese loved these. They are simple and fun to make with many different flavor choices. I made them up after not finding a dog treat recipe using all my puppy's ingredients I had around for him. They can be crunchy or semi-soft depending on the time cooked, they will look like peanut butter cookies! -- posted by ICook4danny&Puddin

Bird Cakes

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 20:23:53 -0500

For our feathered friends who need our help in the winter! If possible use flexible molds or muffin pans lined with paper cups. If you don't have flexible molds, immerse the molds in hot water for several seconds before removing the cakes. They also make a nice gift for our human friends who like to look after the birds. It is nice to make this in one large mold and display the cake in your garden (in a safe place away from other animals!) Don't take notice of the yield because that will depend on the size of molds you use. You can also be somewhat flexible with the amounts given in the recipe, they will still turn out well and much better than any store bought cakes for the birds. They love them and my 'garden restauant' is always full of satisfied customers! If you have some netting to put them in you can hang them from a tree branch. -- posted by Pets'R'us

D-Ring Delights (Horse Treats)

Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:16:22 -0500

The perfect horse treat recipe made by me! My horse absolutely loves them and they will keep for about 2 - 3 weeks depending on hardness. To make the cookies harder use less molasses and for more stickiness and darkness use more molasses. Also, you may not think that you have added enough molasses BUT most likely don't add anymore, just keep mixing. -- posted by Reagan B.

Low Protein Dog Treats

Wed, 14 May 2008 00:21:31 -0400

Cant take credit for this, I found here on the internet: http://www.all-natural-dog-treat.com/lowproteindogtreatrecipe.html Dogs with kidney failure seem to respond better to low protein as the kidneys don't have to work as hard to process the food. Talk with your vet to determine a special diet for a pet with kidney failure. -- posted by Chef #814712

Fido's Fabulous Biscuits

I found this popular recipe on numerous websites (except here, until now) and decided to make it for a new friend since I don't have a dog but had a hankering to make them. (I think that means I need to get a dog, no?) Anyway, they're so easy and I think if I were a dog, I'd love them. ;) The yield is a rough estimate based on the size of your biscuits. -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Rendering Beef Fat for Suet Cakes and Cones (Bird Food)

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:00:37 -0500

My husband and I are bird lovers, and are always looking for ways to bring them closer to us. Suet is essential for winter survival, as it provides heat and energy for their little bodies. I've recently read several articles on how to render beef fat for making your own suet cakes. Although they aren't expensive to buy, it's always rewarding to make something yourself. The best base for the cakes is fat rendered from beef suet. The heating process not only eliminates impurities, but it becomes harder with each 'melting/cooling' process. This will give you a finished product that can withstand higher outdoor temperature (if hung in shade). Many bird food recipes I've read mention using only peanut butter, lard or shortening as a base for the cakes. These however, will soften and go rancid faster. In addition to suet 'cakes', you can also load pine cones with warm suet and roll in seeds. What a great gift for your 'bird loving friends'. Suet is fat that is located around the kidneys. It is not the same as fat bits that are trimmed from cuts of meat. Notes: - 2 lbs of raw suet will yield approximately 12 cups of fat. - Purchased suet cakes measure 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 1-1/4" thick. Save your 250ml dairy containers (sour cream, cottage cheese etc) to use as molds. They are also 4-1/2" in diameter. - Drill 1-1/2" holes in logs and fill with the suet/seed mixture. - Raw suet cuts much easier when frozen. - My yield from 12 cups of fat - 14 cakes, 12 cones - Yields will vary with the amount of seed, and molds used. - Please ignore the indicated number of servings. :) -- posted by Diana #2
