I have raised dogs all my life, starting with those my parents bred & showed extensively in CA and other western states. I have studied canine nutrition extensively both for the show ring and to make homemade food, especially for my Basset who's system won't tolerate commercially dried food and many commonly used ingredients. Most veterinarians do not really understand pet nutrition & several have refered to me for advice. I would not have a problem giving these treats as just that... occasional TREATS. Yes, some dogs are lactose intolerant just as some people are; those dogs treats should not be topped with cheese. I would never give any of my dogs treats containing wheat flour and this recipe is a great way to make treats without any grains at all, which is very helpful to dogs with arthritis and other inflammatory issues.

Goodness, I think some people have missed the purpose of the word "treat". It isn't a recipe for dog food, but a treat that should you choose to make should be given in moderation. Thank you Betty Crocker for the recipe!

I so agree with the other comments. Who comes up with a recipe like this and thinks its okay to publish it for animal consumption? We all know how bad bacon is for humans, and dairy for that matter. But, to post a recipe that has both ingredients for dogs is a bit irresponsible. Shame on you Betty Crocker for not being more aware of the recipes you allow on this website.
