What, If Anything , Can She Have?

[Tilly2]

Tilly has been very poorly and I am currently following a daily four small meals of chicken/fish and white rice regime.

She is not allowed any biscuits, treats, leather chews or anything like that.

Dogs are creatures of habit and she expects a leather chewy when she's had her dinner, and a biscuit when we come back from a walk. Is there anything anyone can suggest that she could have as a little treat which is not going to have a deleterious affect on her inflamed digestive system?

little bit of boiled chicken.

A little Special K?

Maybe some carrot or a piece of apple.

Thanks for your suggestions.

She likes carrots, apples, chicken and porridge. I don't know about Special K, sibs. She's never had that.

You can process cooked chicken or fish and cooked rice together into a paste and then bake it in a slow oven to make biscuits. make sure you use silicone paper to bake on as they will stick of you can't add any oil or fat.

That's a really good idea woof. Thank you. I'll do that.

you a welcome Tilly, i quite often bake for my dogs...I do a mean tuna and garlic shortbread, that humans have been known to gobble down!

[Tilly2]

Woof, how long and at what temperature shall I cook these chicken/rice biscuits?
I'm not known for my baking skills!

Hi Tilly. You are actually drying the mixture rather than cooking it so a low heat. I have a fan oven and cook them at around 100 to 110 c for a non fan 110 to 120 just keep and eye that they aren't burning and poke them every so often till they are hard. I forgot to say they need storing in the fridge in an airtight box.

Thanks again, woof. I'll try some of those later this afternoon.
