Doggie Biscotti!

Mix the wet ingredients together. Mix dry ingredients together, separately, combining well to ensure the baking powder is well blended. Combine wet and dry ingredients, adding kamut flour or more liquid to make the dough stiff enough to handle, yet still slightly sticky. Preheat the oven to 350º. Form the dough into three rolls, approximately 14 inches long each, and lay them on one baking sheet. To keep the dough from sticking to your hands, slightly oil your hands with olive oil. Bake for about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325º. Slice biscotti on a slant, about ½ inch per cookie. Lay the biscotti flat and bake for about 30 additional minutes or until dry. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool in the oven for harder biscotti. Makes approximately 6 dozen biscotti. Freeze to retain freshness. * *Leslie’s note: I’ve never had to freeze these. My dogs go through 6 to 10 a day for good behaviors. I just keep them in a sealed glass jar. |
Quick Feline Eggfest! *
From Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by Richard H. Pitcairn, D.V.M., Ph.D. and Susan Hubble Pitcairn
Use a fork to mix the egg yolks and whites, stirring in the bonemeal at the same time. Sprinkle the yeast on top and serve raw. Or, if you prefer, you may scramble this egg mix lightly. YIELD one meal, or about half a day’s rations for a 10-pound cat with about 170 kilocalories. A smaller cat might eat just one egg at a meal. *Leslie’s note: I use these dinners as a special treat for a cat’s good behavior. For example, used the litterbox that day while you were out or did not scratch the furniture all day. These meals are not a total replacement for a balanced diet. Please refer to Dr. Pitcairn's book for ideas on a complete natural diet. |
Quick Feline Meatfest! *
From Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by Richard H. Pitcairn, D.V.M., Ph.D. and Susan Hubble Pitcairn
Break up the poultry or meat only enough so you can mix in the bonemeal and so your cat can manage it. YIELD 1 cup, with about 450 kilocalories. *Leslie’s note: I use these dinners as a special treat for a cat’s good behavior. For example, used the litterbox that day while you were out or did not scratch the furniture all day. These meals are not a total replacement for a balanced diet.
