These recipes look great! I'm definitely going to try a couple of them. I would like to ask however if the butter/marg in the recipes can be replaced with olive oil spread? I just want to be sure this is safe for dogs. Thanks!

Flissy's Favourite Rice and Liver Bites

Equal quantities by weight liver (pig, lamb, chicken) and short grain (pudding) rice.

Cut the liver into pieces - about 1"/2.5 cms
Simmer the liver and rice in enough water to cover generously until the rice is very soft, and most of the water has been absorbed.
Puree with a stick blender, or in a food processor (it helps if you let the mixture cool a bit first, so splashes are not scalding hot)
Spread onto lightly greased baking sheet (or even better use a silicon sheet on the baking sheet) in a layer about 0.5"/1 cm thick
Bake in a low oven (120 c/250 f) for at least two hours, turning over half way. If you want them very crispy, turn the oven very low, and leave overnight (although the house will smell strongly of liver come the morning!)
Break or cut into bite size pieces. If baked till crispy this keeps well in an airtight jar. If it is still leathery, I freeze or refrigerate it.

Wow i just came across these and i am so tempted to try them! Has anyone tried them?

Brilliant thread, thank you so much for sharing all your recipes! I've saved them and in time, I'll give them all a go!

I personally don't like commercial dog treats because they are nearly all made by the companies that I avoid for ethical reasons, but also because they are so darn expensive! If you're training a dog and using treats as a reward, you can go through dozens of packets in just a few days. The bought ones are also full of rubbish and artificial stuff, so no good at all if you are following a special diet.

Great thread. I'd love to try some of these. Are they OK for puppies (9 weeks)?

Also can puppies have Peanut Butter? I've seen it in some recipes above and heard it's great to keep them occupied.
