1 cup milk

1/2 cup water, or low sodium chicken stock, or water from canned tuna

2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

3. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in milk, water, and bacon fat until blended.

4. Gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough.

5. Roll out dough to 1/4 inches thickness and cut with a pizza cutter, or a cookie cutter in desired shape.

6. Place on prepared cookie sheet.

7. Bake in preheated oven for twenty minutes for a soft cookie, and 30 minutes for a firm cookie.

8. Cool on racks and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

*Small amounts of bacon fat adds flavor to these cookies. Too much bacon fat can cause serious health problems like pancreatitis, so it is best given in small amounts. Serve treats in moderation.

Ingredients

1/2 pound stewing veal

1 cup canned tomatoes

1 cup water

1 chicken bullion cube

Dash of parsley

Directions

Combine ingredients in a pot and let simmer. When the meat is tender, take it out and cut into small chunks. This next step is VERY important: Remove the bones! Mix stew with kibble or another grain, like rice. Make sure the meat cools before feeding.
