Many recipes exist in the marketplace for making your own homemade dog treats.  Of course, the internet provides the most accessible homemade dog treat recipes, as well as books on the subject of homemade dog treats,  available for purchase from on-line sites like Amazon or Borders.  These days, if your pocketbook is stretched, you could even get a book or two at your local library (remember those places?) !

Ingredients for homemade dog treats can include whole wheat flour, oats, barley, sea salt, brewers yeast, chicken parts, beef organs, bacon and bacon fat, brown or white rice (even flavored rices like basmati), milk, cheese or whey powder, strained baby foods, fresh eggs, creamery butter, and such.  You’ve got the point.  Your homemade dog treats can use human food, which is perfectly fine for your puppy or older dogs, and they will be much better for it, without all the added preservatives.
