Baked Piggy Dog Chews - Large & Small Dogs

Total Time: 5 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients

• pigs ears, as you feel like making into dog chews
• 1 cup olive oil or 1 cup vegetable oil
• instant bouillon granules
• salt

Recipe

• 1 pig ears are often available at asian markets.
• 2 scrub the pig ears well, cleaning them under running tap water.
• 3 (i've even scrubbed them with a bit of soap.) using a pair of sharp, sturdy kitchen scissors, cut the ears into about three pieces each.
• 4 dip or brush each piece of ear with oil, then place them on a baking sheet. as a special treat, you can use peanut oil or coconut oil.
• 5 when all ear pieces are dipped or brushed, sprinkle bouillon powder and a *little* bit of salt over the sheet's contents. be careful not to over-salt them!
• 6 (most of the commercial ones i've bought for my dog send her running to her water dish for a huge drinking orgy after she's finished eating an ear. i think they contain too much salt, not to mention far too big for her small size.) bake the ear pieces in the oven at a low 250 degrees for five or six hours.
• 7 drain on paper towels.
• 8 feed to your doggie one piece at a time - this is important for small dogs. my dog would happily eat a whole ear all at once, but i doubt it's good for her.
• 9 these smaller chews are better for smaller dogs.
