DIABETIC DOG TREATS
If you have a diabetic dog like we do, then you know it is hard to find a treat that will do no harm. This is one of those treats. It is easy to fix, and even dogs without diabetes will enjoy them.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
- Place the liver into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. If you have room, add the flour and eggs, and process until smooth. Otherwise, transfer to a bowl, and stir in the flour and eggs using a wooden spoon. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the center is firm. Cool, and cut into squares using a pizza cutter. The treats will have a consistency similar to a sponge. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

DOG FOOD FOR NORMAL, FUSSY, FAT, THIN AND DIABETIC DOGS
I have been making this recipe since the 1990s. It has been successfully served to at least 20 different dogs. It seems to appeal to them all. Fat ones lose weight. Thin ones gain weight. Even fussy and diabetic dogs will usually eat it. The recipe, when made as shown, is enough to feed about 30 kilos (or 66 pounds) of dog for a week. I serve this recipe once a day (in the evening) and add one large handful of hard food per 10 kilos (22 pounds) of dog. The morning feed is one handful of hard food per 10 kilos of dog. This recipe is based on a core approach given to me by a Chinese friend, Pamela, who always said tinned dog food was hard on a dog's kidneys-especially true, she said, for male dogs. The first dogs to enjoy this recipe each lived to 15 years of age. It's okay to leave out, short-change or substitute ingredients, but don't give dogs onions. The recipe form insists on an indication of servings, so I said 14 ( a serve a day for two dogs). This is the first recipe I ever submitted to Zaar. Hey, don't we all put our kids and dogs first?

Steps:
- If you are making the recipe as shown, before you start to prepare it, make sure you have a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. A very large stock pot is great and essential.
- Chop or slice the carrots, potatoes, celery and meat (other than minced meat) to a size that suits your dog.
- Add the above ingredients to the pot.
- Add the drippings, or soy sauce and stock cubes to the pot. If you don't make roasts, see if your neighbours will save their drippings. This recipe can be made without the drippings or soy sauce/stock cubes, but I think the doggies deserve this luxury. You can freeze drippings.
- Add the water to the pot. You may need to reduce the amount of water. It will depend on the moisture content in the vegetables and meat. These days, I use about 12-14 cups of water.
- Put the pot on the stove top, over a high heat.
- Let it cook for about one hour.
- Then -- assuming the mixture has come to a boil -- add the barley. Don't add the barley until the boil happens (it doesn't have to be a big rolling boil).
- After adding the barley, cook for another 30-35 minutes (depending on what the barley package suggests.
- This recipe really holds its heat, so let it cool for at least four hours before serving. Better still, make the recipe in the morning (weekends are good), then dish up the servings for the evening meal and let them cool all day.
- Store in the refrigerator after completely cooled. Freezes well.

DIABETIC DOG TREATS
I make these treats for our dogs even though the diabetic one passed on years ago. Our wiener dog starts dancing around the kitchen when my food processor comes out and guards the oven as they bake. Simple to make and a good way to use up the liver from our beef.

Tips:
- Choose low-carb ingredients: Look for ingredients that are low in carbohydrates, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and certain vegetables.
- Use natural sweeteners: Avoid using sugar or artificial sweeteners, which can raise blood sugar levels. Instead, opt for natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or xylitol.
- Limit high-fat ingredients: While some fats are healthy for dogs, too much fat can be harmful. Choose lean protein sources and use healthy fats in moderation.
- Make small treats: Diabetic dogs should eat small, frequent meals, so make sure to make small treats that can be easily portioned.
- Monitor your dog's blood sugar levels: It's important to monitor your dog's blood sugar levels regularly, especially if you are giving them new treats. Talk to your veterinarian about how often you should check your dog's blood sugar.
Conclusion:
With a little creativity and planning, you can make delicious and healthy treats for your diabetic dog. These recipes provide a variety of options to choose from, so you can find something that your dog will love. Just remember to follow the tips above and monitor your dog's blood sugar levels closely.
