    The garlic powder needs to be removed from this recipe as garlic is toxic to dogs and can cause liver and kidney failure.

The dough was really stiff - it actually bent one of my doggie bone cookie cutters and dried out as you worked - Read more ...

    This was a really good recipe. I added a half cup of grated parmesan cheese so it had more smell and taste and he liked them alot. They were pretty tasty for people too!

    These taste really good. My dog likes them too. Not stale like those ones that come in a box.

    Dogs love these! Note- I found the dough very difficult to mix. Use your breadmachine's dough cycle!
