Dog Treats

After our vacation when we got Milo back, I realised he sort of shrank. Well, he is already a miniature jrt, weighing in at only a mere 3.5kg. Furthermore, while we were away, he accidentally got his right paw caught between the elevator door. So, I made some oatmeal treats as little 'pick-me-ups'.
Milo was a mild allergy to wheat, so I whizzed some organic rolled oats in a foodmill to make oat flour. I usually have potatoes on hand, but you can use carrots instead.

Dog Treats
1 C organic rolled oats
1 medium potato
1/2 to 3/4 C milk or water
2 T olive oil
flaxseeds

Whizz the rolled oats until finely ground to make oat flour. Boil the potato in water (no salt!) until tender. Cool briefy before peeling and mashing. Add the mashed potato to the oat flour and knead until a crumbly dough forms. Add oilve oil and enough milk/water until a pilable to work. (the amount of milk needed will vary). Let the dough rest for 10 mins. Roll the dough out to desired thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out as many cookies possible. Use flaxseeds to make eyes/nose. Brush the treats with additional milk and bake in a oven, preheated to 350F. Bake it until dry and crunchy, about 20 min.

These keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Or you could share them like we did!
