Ingredients: 2 cups flour 2 (4oz) jars of pureed baby food - beef, blueberry, sweet potato, chicken - whatever. Just make sure there are no onions/onion powder in it*. Avoid any with artificial preservatives (should be easy, most are just pureed veggies and water)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.2. Mix together to form a stiff dough. If necessary, add extra flour or water as needed.3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about a 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shape or a pizza cutter to make cubes.4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place treats about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing in a paper bag (storing in an air-tight container will make them soft, but they're still edible).Easy, right? Now this is where you can get creative! Consider including grated carrots or sweet potatoes, a little bit of parsley (which supposedly helps with bad breath), blueberries, or some of that homemade peanut butter!

Helpful Hints:
I've noticed that my Goldens have difficulty with their paw pads being rough and dry. Perhaps it's the cold conditions or icy ground. They stay inside 98% of the time but still have difficulty with their paws. I've found this product to be very helpful. I apply it each night before they go to bed...they seem to rather enjoy their nightly foot massage. :)
