Soft Dog Treats Are Easy on Old Dog Teeth

Reader Andrea from NJ shares this soft dog treat recipe.

She calls them “Softies” since they are soft – excellent for older dogs who find it difficult to chew. You can also harden them by baking them a bit longer.

Here’s Andrea’s dog Sadie to introduce them.

Softies Dog Treats

Directions:

Dump all the ingredients together into a bowl and mix with a fork. Line an 8 inch square pyrex dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Bake for 15 min. in a 325 degree oven. Turn it off and let them continue cooking for another 5 minutes in the oven. Then take them out to cool.

The consistency is that of slightly undercooked brownies. If you want to cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes, they will harden. It’s up to you.

Makes about a dozen 1 x 1 inch treats. More if you cut them smaller. Refrigerate to store up to a week.

I served them as a meal to Sammy, much to his delight.

Alternate:
Increase the Cream of Wheat to 1 cup and the powdered milk to 1/2 cup. Other directions remain the same. This will be a harder treat.

Thanks Andrea & Sadie! Sammy loved these!

If you wanted to experiment with a non wheat flour, you could certainly do that. It'll just change the consistency.
