Tuna Training Treats (DOGGIE)

I checked this book out of the library and found some good things. These stuck out to me because Snowflake LOVESSS tuna! She is Ga-Ga over these! The book is called Throw Me A Bone: 50 Healthy, Canine Taste-Tested Recipes for Snacks, Meals, and Treats and is written by Cooper Gillespie with recipes by Sally Sampson.

Tuna Training Treats

1. Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 8x8 cake pan.

2. Place tuna, including water, in a bowl and wash with fork until clumps are out.

3. Transfer to blender or food processor and process until liquefied.

5. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the flour and garlic powder.

6. Mix until the consistency is that of cake mix.

7. Spread into the prepared pan.

8. Sprinkle with LOTS of Parmesan.

12. Call your dog in to try the new treat.

13. Your dog should look interested, and even may beg.

* 2 eggs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a mini loaf pan (I used the top of my big top cupcake bakeware).

2. Cream butter until smooth. Add corn oil, baby food, and eggs. Mix until smooth.

3. Mix dry ingredients into beef mixture until batter is smooth. Crumble beef jerky and fold into batter. Pour batter into loaf pan.
