As I'm looking for ideas for Christmas gifts for our pup friends I found this thought it would be nice to share.

Dog Biscuit Mix in a Jar

Here's a great gift-in-a-jar idea for fellow dog lovers!

# 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
# 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
# 1-1/2 tsp. sugar
# 1 cup powdered milk
# 2/3 cup quick oats
# 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
# 2 T. beef bouillon granules

Layer the above ingredients in a one quart jar in the order listed, pressing each layer firmly before adding the next. Place a 2-piece lid on the jar. Place a circle of fabric over the lid. Secure with a piece of thin ribbon or raffia.

Attach a card to the jar with the following directions -
To Prepare the dog biscuits -
Empty the mix into a bowl, and stir the ingredients together. Cut in 1/2 cup CriscoŽ. Mix in l large, lightly beaten egg + 3/4 cup hot water. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for one half hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough 1/2" thick and cut into dog bone shapes. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave at 50% power for 5 minutes. Turn biscuits over and microwave at 50% power for 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Place biscuits on wire racks to cool and harden for a few hours before storing in an airtight container.

Here is the site, if you'd want to use their printable tag.

Good idea! I've been giving my dog/cat friends at the office home-made treats at Christmas (I found a dog/cat friendly treat recipe). They go over pretty well, too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well..this recipe definitely is NOT for chief as he has problems with *wheat* as many other dogs do too. No offense meant, but these ingredients aren't really beneficial for a dog. Wheat, cornmeal are both known allergies. Dogs don't need sugar, or the boullion (too much salt) and don't know if milk would go over real well either. I don't mean to burst your bubble but there are a TON of other dog recipes that would be better...Just my 2 cents. I like the idea though!

Cute idea. You can use low sodium boullion.
