Teeth Cleaning Dog Biscuits

While good, crunchy food and treats are no substitute for regular teeth cleaning for dogs, they do offer up some extra help to keep your dog’s mouth healthy and even fresh!

Keeping the biscuits in the oven after they’re done baking not only gets them extra-crunchy, it also helps dry them out to the point that they won’t get moldy or spoil.

1 cup wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
1 can low-sodium chicken stock or broth
3 tablespoons corn oil
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup wheat germ for dredging biscuits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and oil a large baking sheet. Combine the wheat and all purpose flour together with the wheat germ, powdered milk. In another small bowl, mix stock and oil. Combine until well mixed.

When all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, place dough on a dry slightly floured surface and begin kneading. Add all purpose flour as needed until the dough is easy to handle and soft. Take table spoon sized portions and roll them in the extra wheat germ, then place them on the oiled baking sheet with a gap of about 3 cm between them and squish each ball, with a fork, into a biscuit shape. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Turn off oven but leave the biscuits inside until completely hard. Keep the uneaten dog biscuits in airtight bags in the fridge or freezer.
