A rescue group that I know of, is making up a cookbook for animals to raise funds.

I believe they have enough dog recipes (but please post any that you know of) but they are also looking for some recipes for cats, skunks, reptiles, hamsters, birds, ect.

If you happen to have any, can you please post them?

Thank you very much. :)

Grooch I'd post my recipe for squirrels but I think I might get moderated.

Please tell me you are asking for recipes for something the animals would like to eat and not something like kitty stew!

So, let me get this right...there are people out there that would actually take the time to make skunk treats?


.........and I thought I was an obsessed doggie owner

Holy Cr@p! I just read a few recipes (hamster pancakes, for one) at the Simply Pets site, and OOPS!!! I am so sorry!! I had no idea, I swear!
LOL I need to preview these "helpful" sites before I post them. The Simply Pets.com recipes are submitted by posters, so that's why some are real and some are sicko. Sorry I didn't find that out first. There are some real recipes in there, tho.

Oops Baby, that's what I get for not refreshing before posting! Great minds think alike! BTW, I notice you have an Australian Sheperd I have a 4 yr old female Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler X.


Here's a bird food link:

Grooch, as far as the exotic pets like Skunk and Squirrels, maybe try contacting your local zoo or Wildlife Dept. We found a baby squirrel in a grain bin last year and the Zoo was very helpful in telling us what to feed him until we could set him free. (But do you think I can remember now? LOL!)

I included some recipes for cat and dog treats in thematic units I did for a Kiddie Lit course I took about four years ago. Let me dig those out, Grooch. When is the deadline, please?

CAT'S COLD CUTS

1 cup chicken broth
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
(2) 7-ounce cans tuna fish, drained
16-oz. cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons anchovy fillets, drained

Put broth into small pan. Stir in gelatin and let soak 2 to 3 minutes. Place over low heat until dissolved and clear (3 to 4 minutes). Let cool while preparing other ingredients. Put two cans tuna, one container of yogurt, lemon juice and anchovy fillets into blender and blend until smooth. Add dissolved gelatin to mixture and stir. Pour mixture into lightly-oiled glass loaf pan and chill until firm, three hours or more. Loosen loaf from sides of pan, then turn out onto board or platter. cut into 1/4-inch cold cuts. Makes 24. When serving, allow a portion to stand at room temperature to remove the chill.

This is a healthy, low-calorie, low-fat treat for cats. It's kind of like making your own canned cat food.

"BOWSER'S DRIED BEEF"

2 1/2 pounds flank steak
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
ground black pepper, to season

Trim all visible fat from steak (jerky keeps indefinitely if you do this). Slice steak lengthwise with the grain into long, thin slices. Combine soy sauce, garlic, and pepper. Pour over beef strips and marinate for one hour. Place strips on wire rack over a baking sheet. Arrange the strips of meat so that they do not overlap. Bake at 150 degrees F for 10 to 12 hours. Store in airtight canister.

This is a healthy, low-calorie, low-fat treat for dogs, but is high in sodium--as are most dried meats.

Here's a recipe I made for my dogs at the beginning of this year. I left some for my cleaning lady to give to her dogs and she said they looked so good she gave them a try and said they were delicious. My dogs loved them. I found that if you have small dogs though - cut them fairly small otherwise they try to swallow them whole. I got this recipe from http://www.allrecipes.com


Dog Treats
Cut-out dog biscuits with rolled oats, cornmeal and
cheddar cheese. You can change the flavor of these by
substituting chicken bouillon for the beef. Prep Time: approx. 30
Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 30 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 1
Hour . Makes 4 dozen (48 servings).
Printed from Allrecipes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup margarine
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
3 cups whole wheat flour


Directions
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a
large bowl, combine rolled oats, margarine, and boiling
water. Let stand 10 minutes. Grease cookie sheets.
2 Thoroughly stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk,
Cheddar cheese, and egg. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until
a stiff dough has formed.
3 Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, mixing in
additional flour as necessary until dough is smooth and no longer
sticky. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with
cookie cutter (I prefer bone shaped), and place 1 inch apart
onto the prepared cookie sheets.
4 Bake 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until
golden brown. Cool before serving. Store in a loosely
covered container.
