awesome idea...
sounds good
might try that instead for Bella..she loves turkey as does Gus..

will see what I can find shopping to add to them..
thanks for the idea

my purpose for feeding these were to increase & maintain weight - so it wouldn't make much sense to use lean ground beef for something like that! LOL

there is not wrong way - but raw offers more benefits to the dog than cooked

but he's eaten raw before too...I don't give him large quantities in one sitting - just one ball at breakfast & one at dinner with his regular food

then I unthaw - glad you liked the idea

You said "cheap hamburger" in your recipe and I just want to remind everyone that that means VERY fatty. And that does a tune on their tummies, ESPECIALLY if they're not used to meat.

we runs in the zoomies outside 3 times a day..and barrells around the house too after the pugs..she is very very active..
she lost about 6 pounds this past year and sits about 42 pounds..but likely lost a bit again.
I am having issues to keep her weight on.....
so this treat might just work to help her with that...
and can see her liking it with hamburger..
do you feed them frozen??? or thaw them out...?

she is not a big eater..eat what she wants and walks away...
and just a case of more calories burnt that what she is getting..
just do not want her to loose anymore..
or Gus either for that matter..
he is about 52 pounds..

when are we never trying to find something to spoil our kids with....and with bullies their over joyed with food....wilson may pretend to stick is nose up at things....but its all show....he needs me to give a little loving....
i am making them tonight.......i cant wait.....

n/m

both of my bullies are pretty slight and with Bella dropping weight out playing outside all the time..looking for a more solid treat..that might work really really well and bet she will love them.
will give them a try
thanks for posting..

you could just leave the cereal out - I don't think it would change them much - the frosted cereal just adds extra calories! LOL

Iz gotta miwk it fo' awl itz wurth!

"I love Ozzy"

Tammy said his cousin, Dysen does that too!! I think he looks like a prairie dog! LOL

I just love you. Onslow does that too!! LOL!

How cute and great catch! I've never caught Onslow on film doing it but he knows he's not allowed any paws on the table so this is what he does to see up there. haha

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other.

again, original purpose was not so much as a treat as it was to put weight on a dog....so it doesn't matter - you could change it up as you see fit for whatever your using it for - I've seen some who have baked them too - I like the benefits of feeding raw - you don't loose any nutrients in the ingredients

I used Walmart brand honey & the peanut butter was no sugar added, all natural - but that's because it's what I already had on hand - you could also use regular rice cripies instead of frosted to cut down on the sugar...I think brown rice would not give them the cruchy that the cereal does

the peanut butter reg or do you use all natural no additives....or do you think it would matter if i just used all natural????
also the honey is that all natural or a store brand....would it matter if i used all natural honey?
have you ever used brown rice instead of rice krispies????
with all the sugar my boys will be walking on the ceiling.....
sorry so many questions...i cant wait to try this out....my boys have a sweet tooth (becasue of me) and this seems great.... how many balls to give them at a time.....

your recipe is easier to understand than mine!

yep, "our boy" is that intense with everything he does, as you could see from his playing video I sent! LOL

cheapest ground beef you can buy (I used the ground beef in the roll from Walmart - I also have a local butcher shop who saves me the beef "saw dust" from their cuttings for free, it's the consistancy of ground beef) so I used 1 3/4 lb of saw dust & 1 lb of ground beef.

I used one brick of cream cheese

squeezed honey in the bowl until my hand hurt (how's that for measurement)??LOL

dropped in several huge spoonfulls of peanut butter

then poured in the frosted flakes (you can also use frosted rice crispies)

I mixed it some with my hand and then some with a wooden spoon - there is no science to it and you cannot mix it wrong - just mix up how you think it should feel/look

you feed them raw - so I left enough in my fridge to last until Sunday (2 a day - 1 at breakfast & 1 at dinner)

then I froze the rest in freezer bags that would last me a week at a time - when Sunday rolls around, I'll take out a bag and that will take me through the next week. If your making them as a treat, I'd make them much smaller than what I did.

hope that makes sense...if you do a search on the "show forum" side, you'll find other versions of this recipe too - I like this one and it was easy enough to get ingredients & mix up

I make a huge batch when I make them and then freeze..

5 pounds cheap hamburger
2 blocks cream cheese
1- 1 1/2 cup honey
1 jar of peanut butter
I use frosted rice krispies.. you may add what you need to make a ball consistency

I have also added egg and fish oil

i would love to have those as a sweet treat for my boys.....can you write how you make them
thanks
