Web Chef Review: The Colorado Barkery Gourmet Dog Treats – How to Bake Doggy Biscuits

Posted by Kimberly on Sep - 22 - 2012 with 0 Comment

Today, I decided to treat my dogs to something amazing.

I wanted to do something special for them like bake them some doggy treats.

Just before I started a batch from scratch, I remembered seeing a bag of dog treat mix from The Colorado Barkery.

So, I decided to go in that direction. Try it out, use it up, and do a review for you all as well.

The mix is super easy to use.

You put it in a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of warm water (but I added the equivalent amount of warm tea as I know that in small amounts, the antioxidants in tea can be beneficial to my dogs), and 1 tbsp oil – I used olive oil because I know it’s good for my dogs’ coats.

There are also some nice big oats in the mixture that my dogs really enjoy eating.

Also, since I can never just use something straight out of the pantry without doctoring it up a bit. I added 2 tbsp dried parsley for my dogs’ breath, as well as some additional ground cinnamon, as I noticed on the ingredients, there is cinnamon in this bag of dog treat mix. I added an additional 1 tsp.

There is a bone shaped cookie cutter included, which is the perfect size for these dog treats.

The dough mixed perfectly for me, except that since I added additional dry herbs, I added approximately another 1 tbsp of warm tea, and this worked perfectly as well.

The cookies were fun to punch out, and place onto greased cookie sheets, and bake in the oven on 350 degrees for 40 minutes. This dried the doggy biscuits out perfectly.

The treats, as you can see, are simply adorable, they break easily, and are a great consistency.

Most importantly, the dogs all loved these treats!

For my small dogs, miniature schnauzer sized, I break these cookies into two for normal treats, and give one big treat for something they do that’s stellar!
