Our Favorite Dog Treats--Homemade, Quick and Easy. Promise!!!

We have quite a few dog nutrition sticklers around here at Wags, who go above and beyond to make sure their dogs only are eating the best possible foods.

At agility trials where there are lots of Wags "family" in attendance, the dogs can often be found crowding around Romi and myself for the tastiest rewards for their efforts! Specifically, a favorite treat recipe known as "Tuna Fudge" really makes the pups go crazy! I have also had great success with some of our pickier training dogs really going gaga over these treats when they would not touch anything else.

This is the version I have more-or-less perfected. I have also used a 15oz can of Salmon that worked great as well. You also could probably substitute rice flour if your dog has wheat issues, but you may have to play with the consistency a bit. Let us know how it turns out for you!

TUNA FUDGE
2 6oz. cans of tuna in water (do not drain)
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups all purpose/whole wheat flour
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Put ingredients in food processor and process lightly to break up big chunks of tuna and even out ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, just first break up the tuna with a fork, then add other ingredients.

The consistency should be thick, but moist... like cookie dough. If it looks too dry, you can add a little bit of water at a time to moisten it.

Spray or lightly wipe pan with olive oil. Pour in 9x9 square or pie pan and spread evenly with spatula.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Let sit until cool - then take out of pan and cut into bite size treats! They keep in the fridge for about a week. Or, you can freeze them to extend their life. This makes about 1.5--2 cups of 1/4 inch cubed treats.

Happy cooking!!!
