Low Purine Dog Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients. Add melted butter, molasses and egg mixture (save 1 Tbsp egg mixture). Knead together(add milk if too dry), let sit for 1/2 hour. Roll to 1/2 inch and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutter. Put on cookie sheet, "paint" on remaining egg mixture, and bake 30 minutes. Let cool and store in tightly sealed container.
• Because of the Schnauzer, Dalmatian, and certain other breeds' tendency toward urinary stone formation, diets and treats low in "purine-yielding ingredients" are advised. Every attempt has been made to ensure that this recipe uses relatively low purine ingredients; however I cannot guarantee that your dog will not have a reaction to these treats, either allergic or urinary.
• It is very important to monitor the pH of your dog's urine when introducing new foods and treats to its diet. The urinary pH should not deviate from the normal pH of 7.0 if all is well. If you note any deviation, you should contact your veterinarian immediately for a standard urinalysis to see if abnormal urinary crystals are forming which can "grow up" to become obstructing stones, or to detect other urinary problems. Also keep in mind that these treats should be fed in small amounts and are not meant to replace a well-balanced diet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine flour, wheat germ and cinnamon. Stir in remaining ingredients. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 3-in. bone-shaped cookie cutter., Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until bottoms are lightly browned (tops may crack), 30-35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• Mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal and oats. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in water, oil, eggs, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
• On a flat surface use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. Cut the dough into dog biscuit shapes using a cookie cutter. Place the biscuits onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 20 minutes. After the biscuits have cooked 20 minutes turn off the oven off but let the biscuits remain inside the oven for another 20 minutes to harden.
