Dog Treats  Liver Brownies 3 cups oatmeal 1 cup flour 1 lb liver 2 eggs

Process oatmeal in a food processor (or blender) until it is a "medium" consistency. Add the flour to the oatmeal and set aside. In food processor, place liver in small amounts and process until it is "liquid" consistency (it will resemble thick fudge). Add the two eggs to the liver and mix well. Then add the dry ingredients to the liver...stir very well. Spread on a non-stick cookie sheet (or jelly roll pan) and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When cool, cut (or break) into small "bars". Tips When all mixed together this is a very sticky goo. To help spread it in the pan, I place a plastic bag on my hand and spray it with cooking spray to minimize sticking. Shutting off the oven and leaving the pan sit in there until the oven cools helps dry out the bars. We use a pizza wheel to cut the bars into squares. Store treats in the refrigerator. We double the recipe and freeze some of the treats until we need them.

Puppy Jerky 1-2 lbs. beef liver

Cut liver into 1" wide strips. Place on racks in food dehydrator. (You may wish to cover racks with cheese cloth to prevent sticking.) Leave in dehyadrator for approximately 24-36 hours or until moisture is out of meat. Remove from dehydrator and store in air tight container. Tips I like doing long strips and then breaking them into smaller pieces as I feed them to the dogs — less time cutting and preparing. I freeze part of the batch until we are ready to use it. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can do this in the oven at a very low temperature.

Aussies and other herding types (Collies, Border Collies, ACD's and Shelties) can have certain drug sensitivities. Aussies should never be given any of the drugs listed below. Please note Heartgaurd is on the list and can cause seizures in sensitive aussies. Never give Heartguard to an Aussie, choose Interceptor instead. Also note not all vets are familiar with this list or the MDR1 mutation.

Drugs that have been documented, or are strongly suspected to cause problems in dogs with the MDR1 mutation:

* Ivermectin (antiparasitic agent) "Heartgaurd"
* Loperamide (Imodium®; over-the-counter antidiarrheal agent)
* Doxorubicin (anticancer agent)
* Vincristine (anticancer agent)
* Vinblastine (anticancer agent)
* Cyclosporin (immunosuppressive agent)
* Digoxin (heart drug)
