In our menagerie at the moment:
Angus - the dog, probably a Landseer Newfoundland mix, 80 lbs, about 2 years old, we just adopted him in May
Cerridwen - female cat, 6 year old Maine Coon mix, mackerel tabby
Liam - male cat, 5 year old Maine Coon mix, black
Willow, female cat, 9? year old calico
Nobby Nobbs - 1 year old male champagne hooded dumbo rat
Gytha - 4 month old female tangerine Bearded Dragon

We used to feed Angus Kirkland Signature kibble until we found out he's allergic to wheat and chicken. Damnit. So we had to switch him over to Blue Buffalo Whitefish and Sweet Potato. So, of course, now that he can't have wheat or chicken finding treats for him at Petsmart is all but impossible. Anyone have any great recipes for wheat-free homemade dog cookies?

how about mini rice cakes with a little peanut butter on it?
also dehydrate large pieces of sweet potato and apples.

I have made a few treats from this website
http://www.bullwrinkle.com/Assets/Recipes/Recipes.htm

The one I make for my dog Gouda which she loves and that I made for all her dog buddies for Xmas is

http://www.bullwrinkle.com/Assets/Re...20Biscuits.htm

Not saying they are the best or the healthiest. They were the easiest to make for me at the time and she ended up loving them

ETA: You could substitute rice or potato flour for the reg flour in most of those treats Im sure

Here in Texas heartworm is a huge concern.
revolution is also a preventative for that.

For me, it's the lesser of two evils. My dogs are getting that
medicine not heartworm.
