Makes 16 medium biscuits

Ingredients for biscuits

900 g calcium-rich dog food or canned dog food
1⁄4 cup (35 g) wholemeal flour
3⁄4 cup (110 g) oat bran
1 cup (100 g) rolled oats
1 dog vitamin, crushed (optional)
1⁄4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan or cheddar cheese (optional)
1⁄2 cup (125 ml) vegetable oil

Preparation method for biscuits

The combination of dog food and oatmeal makes these biscuits a healthy and tasty treat for your dog. You are assured of good ingredients and a better price than commercial dog biscuits. For a nutritional boost, add a crumbled dog vitamin.

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C (Gas 1⁄2).

2. Mix the dog food, flour, bran, rolled oats, vitamin (if desired) and cheese (if desired for a flavour boost).

3. Add the oil slowly, mixing the dough to a consistency that can be rolled and cut with a cookie cutter.

4. Roll and cut or mould the biscuits; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 31⁄2 hours, or until hard.

5. Cool and store in a covered canister in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in a freezer for up to 1 month.
