Not sure if this is the right place to post this,but here goes
Please don't think I'm mad :o but I want to give my dog something for christmas,there is no point giving him a toy as he chews them up in a few seconds.What I thought was something to eat that I could make,like mince pies,I know raisins are poisonous to dogs,but what about pastry? I thought if I made pastry cases then I could fill them with something suitable for dogs,but what? if I used dog meat it would go off pretty quick,anyone got any ideas on doggie treats to make :A
Thanks LIH

    I wouldn't fancy putting dog meat in my oven! _pale_ :rotfl:

    Why don't you buy him and cook him a whole turkey? :p

    I bought my dog an octopus toy. Got loads of legs for him to chew that he will go nuts! :D

    Have you ever tried a Kong ?

    You can fill them full of doggy treats and it'll take Doggo ages to get them out. It's basically indestructable - it's the only toy my dogs still have from when they were chewy puppies.

    HTH

    You cannot live as I have lived an not end up like me.
    Oi you lot - please :heart:GIVE BLOOD :heart: - you never know when you and yours might need it back! 67 pints so far.

    Kong is brilliant! My Mom uses them for her labs (they chew everything else in seconds)

    My dogs love there kongs, you can stuff them with allsorts, (not liqourice) I sometimes put the dogs dinner in, so they take longer to eat ;) keeps them occupied for ages.
    We've got our dogs the Buster food cubes for christmas, you put bits of dry food or treats/biccies in, and they chase them around the floor, catching the bits as they fall out, its great watching them chase them around the room.

    Ps - anyone with Staffie's tried the 'adult' Kongs? I gave a puppy one to our swhen he was a pup and he destroyed it, so I'm a bit unsure of treating him to one.

    Thanks for the replies guys

    SS - wasn't thinking of cooking the meat,just inside pastry cases,MEN! :rolleyes: sorry SS only joking.

    Thanks everyone for suggesting the kong toys,but unfortunately he has destroyed 2 already,the 1st lasted 3 days,the 2nd less than an hour,VERY powerful jaws (staffie),we even tried a car tyre :eek: this lasted the longest,but made such a mess never again.

    Didn't realise I wasn't the only mad woman out there,so will have a good look through the recipe thread and the other old threads.

    Thanks everyone :A

    Ah! Cheers LIH, I'd best give them a miss too then.
    As for treats - I don't make anything myself, but he does love raw apple, carrots, celery etc and cries for his share of the porridge (cooked) in the mornings!

    Thanks kaz,ours likes fruit too especially bananas,never had a dog that prefers fruit to anything else :confused: spoke to a man in the pet shop and he warned about the strong jaws,he was telling me about his staff eating the table legs and they have had to shorten all the legs and the chairs :eek:
    haven't tried him on porridge,but I haven't found anything he dislikes:rolleyes: he's such a gorgeous dog,I just want to give him something for his first christmas :o :rolleyes: :D yeah I am mad aren't I!
