Kidney
Kookies (for dogs)
21/2 cups organic flour (spelt, kamut,
brown rice, barley, etc.)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 freshly
minced garlic clove
1/2 cup homemade chicken broth or low
sodium canned broth
1/2 cup filtered water
1 cup pureed green beans and carrots.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Whirl together
ingredients in a blender or food processor
until well incorporated. Turn the dough
onto a floured board, and knead a few
times. Roll it out and cut it into desired
shapes, or place the dough on a lightly
greased or parchment paper covered cookie
sheet, roll it out to the corners of the
sheet and lightly score it with a knife.
Bake for 25 minutes. Turn the oven off,
and let the treats cool completely in
the oven. Remove and store in a zip-lock
bag or cookie jar. Other vegetables you
can use in this recipe include zucchini,
parsley, celery, dandelion greens, collard
greens, squash, and turnip.
Try to use organic ingredients whenever
possible.
 Salmon
Kitty Bits (for cats)
1 can salmon or tuna
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 tablespoons organic catnip
1 egg
11/2 - 2 cups organic flour
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly
grease a large cookie sheet. In a blender
or food processor, combine ingredients
until the mixture forms a ball. Turn the
dough onto a lightly floured board, and
knead a few times. Place the ball of dough
in the middle of the cookie sheet, and
roll it out so it fills the sheet. Use
your fingers to ensure the dough reaches
all corners of the sheet. Score the dough
with a sharp knife to make very small
“kitty bits” that will be
easy to break off once the dough has been
baked and cooled. Bake for 20 minutes,
then turn the oven off and allow treats
to cool completely before removing. Break
into bits along the scored lines. If you
want a softer treat for your cat, simply
remove the treats from the oven as soon
as the baking time is up. The bits should
be stored in an airtight container or
in a zip-lock bag. They freeze very well.
