Tuna Fudge Training Dog Treats

I lost all of my recipes in Katrina and have been replacing them for the past few years. A lot of them were treat recipes for my six dogs. They tend to favor the meatier treats - go figure, eh? This was a nice easy recipe and really didn't smell that bad during the baking. Five of my six like them. Their favorite is just plain simple turkey jerky from the dehydrator, but this one gives them some variety and I like the wholesomeness of the ingredients. I did replace the wheat flour with gluten-free organic brown rice flour though, and it worked just fine. Thanks for sharing it!

Excellent training reward for my flyball pups. I have made it with salmon and even canned ham or turkey too! Sometimes I omit the garlic other times I add in whatever herbs I've got handy. I make it in small "loaves" then wrap the extras up and freeze them. I just pull out and defrost when I need a new chunk. The dogs drool puddles by the stove as this is cooking.

10 Paws Up! One of my dogs waited by the stove because she knew I would NEVER cook anything that smelled like that for us humans to eat. If you do not like the smell of tuna stay away from this one. However, if you can tolerate it then the pickiest of dogs will love this treat. I will make again. Modifications included: I only had 9oz of tuna and it was in pouches so I had to add a little water. I only had medium eggs so I doubled the dose.

I don't know about this recipe. I took the recipe to my vet before trying it and he asked where i had gotten it. He warned me and said that this could make my dogs extremely sick or even kill them. He warned me that Tuna is potentially dangerous to dogs. He also warned me about the large amount of garlic powder in it. I decided not to make it after listening to my vet about the dangers. I think everyone should check with their vet before giving this to their dog.
