1 Cup water
1/2 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup oatmeal
2 Cups flour
Mix all ingredients together. Roll on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thick, adding flour or water as needed; cut with cookie cutters or a knife. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 mintutes; turn off the oven and leave the treats for several hours or overnight to harden.

This one my daughter got from a friend. But I think it's really great. Too often we forgot about keeping our devoted pets hydrated on a hot day. These are also great to take for them when your camping.
Take a regular Ice cube tray, fill 3/4 full with water and add a SMALL doggie bone. Freeze, then pop out into a zip lock baggie and your doggie will love chewing on the bone and also staying hydrated.

chicken
1/4 cup Dry milk powder
1/4 cup Wheat germ (cream of wheat can be substituted
for wheat germ)
Combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Roll into
small balls and place on well-greased cookie sheet.
Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake in preheated 350F.
oven for 15 minutes until brown. Cool on wire racks
and store in refrigerator. Also freezes well.
Variation: substitute cream of wheat for wheat germ
and then use tablespoon to make cookie sized drops on
plate. Microwave for 4 minutes on Medium-High. Suggest
keeping an eye on them in microwave and perhaps start
out for only 3 1/2 minutes. They do come out soft.
Also suggested using Beef/Vegetable Dinner Baby Dinner
instead of Beef or Chicken.
Tester's note: Definitely something to howl about!
Cookies are soft and chewy (good for older pets who
have lost a few teeth). And they can be whipped up in
no time.

Lamb Jerky
5 pound Lamb Roast
1 quart of water
1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 - 2 tablespoons garlic (not garlic salt)
Slightly freeze lamb roast so it will be easier to cut
into slices to prepare for cooking. Combine all
ingredients: water, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic
in a pan and bring to a boil. Slice the slightly
frozen lamb roast into 1/4 inch wide strips. Drop
slices into boiling mixture and let cook for 5
minutes. Meat will be rubbery. Then drain strips and
place strips between layers of paper towels (several
on bottom and several on top) Take a rolling pin and
roll across paper towels to press out the moisture.
In a 200 degree oven, lay pressed strips directly on
oven rack, careful not to let them touch or they'll
stick together. Leave oven door ajar slightly to let
moisture escape. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
