There are times (yes, believe it or not) when my dogs have breath that’s, well, not that fresh. These are tasty, healthy and will freshen their breath too.

Plus, you’ll know exactly what went into them to ease your mind that your dogs are eating real food that’s good for them.

I love my dogs so much and I’m always baking them special, little treats. You should see their faces light up – they just know that what I’m doing is for them. So cute!

Mint & Parsley Doggy Biscuits

Type: Home Remedy Recipe
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 2 hr
Yield: ~ 80 doggy biscuits

Ingredients:

3-4 cups cooked rice – without using salt
6 tbsp freshly chopped Parsley – If using dried, about 4 tbsp
6 tbsp freshly chopped Mint – If using dried, about 4 tbsp
1 cup chopped dried Dates – Without pits
1 grated Carrot – If desired
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
2 whole Eggs – With shells crushed in for extra calcium
~ 1/2 cup Water – Filtered
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp ground Ginger – Or 2 tbsp freshly grated

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
Combine and mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If mixture is too wet to make balls with, add more oats and wait a few minutes after mixing. If mixture is too dry, add a few tbsp of water at a time and mix through.
Make 1 inch balls by rolling with your hands. If mixture is sticking to your hands too much, wet your hands before rolling the balls with cold water.
Arrange them on a non-stick cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour and take a flipper to turn them over on a different side.
If you want softer biscuits for dogs that are old or have dental problems, bake for a shorter time. However, the biscuits should be eaten quicker and stored in the refrigerator. For crispy biscuits, bake until they are dry.

These dog biscuits may be stored in a container on your counter for treat-time with your dog, if baked until completely dry and will last about 1 month.
