Instructions

    • 1

      Combine 1 cup of white flour, 1 cup of wet dog food, and 1/3 cup of water in a large mixing bowl. Add more flour, if necessary, if the dough is too sticky to roll out. It should be the consistency of cookie or biscuit dough.

    • 2

      Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Meanwhile, prepare a flat working surface such as a tabletop or cutting board by sprinkling with flour.

    • 3

      Remove the bowl from the refrigerator, and roll out the dough onto the prepared surface using a rolling pin. Roll until the dough is about ½ inch thick.

    • 4

      Use a dog-bone cookie cutter to cut out as many "bones" as possible. Make sure you're left with an even number. If a dog bone cookie cutter is not available, you may try to freehand the shapes using a sharp knife.

    • 5

      Place a few tablespoons of shredded cheese, and some precooked bacon pieces, on top of half the dog bone pieces. This will be the filling for your stuffed dog bones.

    • 6

      Place another dog bone on top of each of the filled halves, and press with a fork around the sides to prevent the filling from leaking out. Use a bit of water, if necessary, to moisten and thoroughly close all the sides.

    • 7

      Place the filled dog bones on a large cookie sheet, making sure they aren't touching, and bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow the treats to cool completely before feeding to your dog.
