Homemade Dog Treats

One of my furbabies was sick recently and everytime he ate his dog food he threw up. Now this is the same dog food that he was had for years so I knew something was just up with his stomach. I called my mom who was a Vet Tech. for about 20 years and she told me to take him off his food and feed him a bland diet of rice and boiled chicken in small amounts 4 times a day for a week and then slowly ease him back onto his food. During this time I decided to make his treats as well, that way I could account for everything that he consumed. These cookies were easy to make and my dogs loved them. My neighbor gave me this easy recipe, she makes her furbabies a lot of homemade treats!

Here is the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

Ingredients:
4 cups of Oatmeal (old fashioned or Quick Cooking)
1- 14 oz can of 100% Pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1/4 Tsp. Ground Cloves
2 Lg. Eggs

Directions

Dump all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Drop by rounded teaspoons full on cookie sheet, flatten with the spoon and bake for 1 hour. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and remove to cooling rack or waxed paper to finish cooling. When completely cooled, place into storage bags or tightly sealed container and keep refrigerated.

Makes appx. 6 dozen cookies
