LOVED the Dog Treat Recipe, But Not Cheap!

Actually, I started making these after I found out my dog's favorite chickie-treats were made in China (try not to buy ANYTHING from China!).

But an organic chicken? Well, that's the whole reason in the first place, right? But, MAN! that's $9.00 for a chicken!! (4 1/2 lbs.) which only yields about 14 oz. of treats. Yes, I feed the whole chicken to the dog, except the bones. And I don't bone a chicken very well, LOL! Takes about an hour to cut it up & get it in the oven. They will last for about 2 months at a rate of one or two a day.

But our Bobo? He's generally an outdoor dog, but comes in on occasion. When he does, now he walks RIGHT TO THE FREEZER! AND STARES, LOL! So yes, my dog does prefer them to say the least.

Will try the peanut butter cookies next; look a bit cheaper to make.

Chef's Comments ~ You're right, some of our dog treat recipes are not easy on the budget. But, if the treats really do last for 2 months, then that's only $4.50 each month or .15 cents a day. Maybe if you look at it like that, it won't seem so bad, especially since Bobo is enjoying them so much. :)

I'm glad to hear the recipe turned out well for you, hope you enjoy the other recipes, too.
