Homemade Dog Treats

Here are some easy-to-make treats, sure to delight a canine buddy. Made with cheese (a favorite flavor among canines) and garlic (which is a natural flea repellent), they'll quickly become your dog's favorite, paws down.

To make a batch, combine these ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 pound of softened corn oil margarine
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 crushed garlic clove

Mix well. Add enough milk to form the dough into a ball, then cover the ball with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. On a floured board, roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out bone shapes and bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly brown and firm. Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.
