indi_dog Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 It's not for my dog, for a friend's dog with pancreatitis... I love baking dog biscuits, and giving them as gifts. But I'm stumped as to what I could bake for a dog with pancreatitis, not having a dog diagnosed with it before. Does anyone have any simple dog biscuit recipe ideas? Or, what ingredients I should omit/replace? I have a low fat herb biscuit recipe that just has blackstrap molasses in it as a liquid, but I'm really doubtful how good the molasses would be. I've been googling ideas, but so far the only one I found involves me boiling up chickens and separating the fat from the broth for hours and to be honest I'd prefer something a bit easier!

Poodle wrangler Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My understanding is that these dogs need low-fat diets. Molasses is largely sugar, so should be OK? If you cool any liquid with fat in it in the fridge for a couple of hours- it's much easier to skim off the top (still a bit tedious, though ).

indi_dog Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 It's a hard one, I'm doing a bit of reading and it seems that if I wanted to make a safe biscuit it would have to have absolutely no fat in it, and be easily digestible... So I couldn't use the usual ingredients ie; eggs, soy milk, safflower oil, apple puree (on second thought would apple puree be a nono?) I checked out the ingredients of Hill i/d to get some sort of clue as to what was safe, but hey I don't even understand what half the ingredients are!

kymbo Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Could you use the liver sprinkles/ dust ( in a can at the supermarkets) to flavour the mix before baking??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I couldn't use the usual ingredients ie; eggs, soy milk, safflower oil, apple puree (on second thought would apple puree be a nono?) I made some cookies a couple of weeks ago for my dogs and one of the recipes called for apple sauce. When I was at the supermarket I just looked at the different jars and chose the one without any added sugar. Although there are natural sugars in apples, I would think that apple sauce with no added sugar would be ok for this circumstance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi_dog Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 I use the spc apple puree, it doesn't have added sugar. When I buy ingredients I try to get organic, with no added sugar and fat. So if I flavoured the biscuits with herbs (eg. mint, parsley etc) and withheld the fats that could be OK. I might run molasses by a vet too just incase, I'd hate to make their dog sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
