Like the sounds of those biscuits DG for my dogs 8)

Question, What's a stick of butter in the states?
What's bullion, is it gelatin?

Cheers

A stick of butter is a half cup or 8 Tablespoons, so that would be 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons and bullion cubes are like chicken or beef stock ...dry concentrated.....1 cube dissolved in 1 cup of water would be like 1 cup of stock.....but you need 3 cubes in 2/3 cup of water (concentrated for flavoring)

Nice one there dartgod 8)
It seems malt is popular with most animals, even cats.

Although if truth be told I'd be tempted to eat them myself :wink:

Don't put spent hops in these dog bickies though. There have been several reports of dogs snuffing it after eating discarded hops from homebrewers. They are toxic to some breeds of dogs, greyhounds in particular, but some other breeds are susceptible as well. There is some information on the Nerdosphere. Search for "Hop toxicity dogs"

Thats a very good piece of information to know cheers Graham. Though I must admit I would of never given hops to the muts, and knowing their fussyness they would probably turned their noses up :roll: Then again who knows they do like licking each others genitalia :roll:

I saw a dog licking his bits and thought 'I wish I could do that'

Then I found out, if I gave him a biscuit he'd let me!!! :lol: :lol: :shock: :=P
