This is my own recipe for dog biscuits and they are a hit with the pups.
Note: I keep a jar in the freezer where I add meat and fat scraps and any left over veggies I have from dinner, along with egg shells. When I'm ready to make these biscuits I thaw and puree the contents of the jar.

Garden Veggie Biscuits

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup regular yellow cornmeal
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons beef bouillion granules
1 cup dry milk powder
2 large eggs, shells and all
2 carrots
3 cloves garlic
2 cups broccoli chopped
2 cups cooked meat fat & leftover meat or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt, optional

In a little water cook carrot, broccoli and garlic and meat scraps if using.
Cool and puree in a blender or chop finely in a food processor.Add eggs,
shells and all and process until fairly smooth.
Add the puree mixture to the dry ingredients and add more warm water if
needed to make a very stiff dough.
Roll dough to 1/2 inch thick on a board floured with whole wheat
flour,and cut with a dog bone shape cutter or into squares etc.
Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 2 hours at 250 degrees, turning every half hour, until dry and hard.
The last half hour of baking, mix some beef bouillion in warm water and
dip the bones in this mixture, place back on the tray and continue baking.
This gives the bones a nice sheen and makes them smell great.

Makes about 6 pounds of biscuits

Dough keeps up to 1 week in the fridge and 3 months frozen
