                    POM TREATS YOU CAN MAKE
 
 
 
             FROSTY PAWS DOGGIE  "ICE CREAM"
 
Everyone knows ice cream is bad for dogs,  but NOT this recipe!  It is good for your POM pal,  and the blueberries pack a powerful wallop of anti-oxidants.  Just be sure and use PLAIN YOGURT,  not vanilla,  and do not use artificially sweetened peanut butter.
 
1    32 ounce carton PLAIN yogurt
2T.  natural creamy peanut butter  (no sugar added)
1    very ripe banana,  peeled and mashed
2T.  dried blueberries or cranberries
2T.  Honey
 
Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.  Pour into ice cube tray or small disposable drink cups and freeze until solid.  Remove from molds and store in freezer until use.

                    TUNA BOW WOW-NIES
 
Cut these into small bite sized chunks for training treats.  They hold together and freeze well.  The dough is sticky,  so it helps to flour your rolling pin, or if pressing out by hand,  grease your hands first.
 
2   Cans Tuna (packed in water)  You can substitute salmon,  canned chicken or turkey
2    Eggs
1tsp.  Garlic Powder
1 1/2 C.  Flour
 
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.  Add additional flour if needed to make stiff dough.  Roll out to 1/4" thick and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 250 degrees F for 30 minutes.  Cut into pieces and refrigerate or freeze.

                LIVER BOW WOW-NIES
 
This recipe makes great treats for training,  show bait and can be used frozen.  If your dog is sensitive to liver,  use additional oatmeal.
 
1 lb.  Beef liver
3 C.  quick oatmeal
1       Egg
1T.  Minced garlic
Parmesan Cheese
 
Process oatmeal in food processor until the consistency of flour.  Remove from work bowl and set aside.  Puree the beef liver and garlic in the food processor.  Add egg and blend until incorporated.  Add oatmeal and blend until mixed.
