Satin Balls: Homemade dog treat recipes like this is one can really help in putting weight on an animal quickly, as some use it for putting a couple extra pounds on a show animal prior to the big day, or an animal that may have been ill and needs a weight gain program. It has also been reported that these homemade dog treat recipes will help with some forms of hair loss, such as when your dog(s) blow their coat, to keep the coat healthy and shiny. This recipe is intended to be fed raw.
10# hamburger meat
1 jar wheat germ
1 large box of oatmeal
(uncooked)
1 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
10 eggs
10 small package of flavorless gelatin
1 1/4 Cup flavorless molasses
A pinch of salt
1 large box Total cereal (2 lb)
(You may also add a pinch of garlic powder to add flavor)
Mix all ingredients together well, much like a meat-loaf, then put into separate freezer bags and freeze, thawing out as needed. It puts weight on in a very short time, not to mention the gloss in their coat. You can use it every day when they have a show to do and it does not produce diarrhea. It can be fed alone or with kibble.
Chicken Liver Cookies (Treat)
2 cups Flour
3 table spoon. Vegetable Oil
1 cup Wheat Germ or Cornmeal (or 1/2 cup each)
1 Egg; lightly beaten
½ cup Chicken Broth
(I use the liver water from boiling the livers)
2 tsp. Chopped Parsley
1 cup Chopped Chicken Livers, cooked
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine flour and wheat germ (or cornmeal). In separate bowl, beat egg with oil, add broth and parsley, mix well. Add dry ingredients to bowl a little at a time, stirring well. Fold in chicken livers and mix well. Dough will be firm. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out ½” thick and cut into shapes. Place on greased cookie sheets 1″ apart. Bake 15 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

½ cup Brewers Yeast
1 tsp Salt
2 each Cloves Garlic, minced
3 table spoon. Vegetable or Olive Oil
