OOH, i'm so happy to hear your dog loved them too! and lol, the cat too! ha ha!
.
Yeah, i do sometimes swap out the ingredients, using whatever
meat,
yellow veggie,
and green veggie
i have on hand that day.
.
i only add in the veggies to cut the calories down from the liver i
usually use. LIver is loaded with calories, but, liver is my dog's favorite treat of all time. This way, in a liver
cookie,
Buddy *thinks* he is getting pure liver,
but, he's not, hee hee.
.
.
I only use the oats to thicken the 'dough' up a bit, and sometimes, IF I DRAIN THE BOILED INGREDIENTS
VERY VERY VERY WELL, i barely need ANY oats at all.
.
I don't think oats and wheat are same thing at all. Completely different plants, for starters.
.
Oats have different nutrients and
no allergens. (some dogs ARE allergic to wheat and
will scratch at their skin after eating wheat treats).
I don't think oats and flour are quite the same thing, either, oats have fiber, flour doesn't, for one thing. And the nutrients are slightly different from each other. But yeah, i imagine rice flour is superior to reg flour. But, the recipe really needs NO flour at all,
dogs dont' need flour at all.
.
Sounds like a great variation, VERY CLEVER!! i will have to try some gizzards next time!!!
.
but, that IS
a lot of flour you add in, though. I bet you can probably reduce the flour if you
drain the ingredients SUPER well.
cuz This recipe really needs
zero flour at all.
Mine have zero flour at all,
just a dab of oats--just enuff
to thicken it up for making "cookies", and like i said,
IF i DRAIN the ingredients REEEALLY REALLY well, i barely need
any oats,
but,
sometimes, it is a bit runny-ish, so i DO need some oats then. I don't need a food processor either, ordinary beaters
will do for anyone reading along, for dog cookies, if you have no processor. PLus, that way, your dog can show you
HOW GREAT HE IS at cleaning up dishes and beaters, til they are SPOTLESS! rofl!!
.
SO GLAD YOUR DOGS
ARE LIKING THE TREATS!
THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW! Your dog sounds so funny, ha ha, what a character!
