Thanks so much for your reply, I made them using oats in the end as I thought it would be near enough the same.
The dogs loved them and I even had my neighbour asking for the recipe when I took some for her dog too.
Thanks so much, LOVE your blog :)

Andrea – Yikes! Sorry for taking so long to get to your comment. When you don’t grind corn meal finely, you’ve got corn grits. It’s good in these biscuits because it adds a lot of grittiness, crunchiness, etc. This recipe is really flexible and you could leave them out altogether, or replace them with corn meal, polenta, or old fashioned rolled oats.

I really want to make these for my dogs, but I’m in the UK and have never heard of corn grits?
I did a google search and It mentioned cornflour or wheatgerm but I can’t find these anywhere either!
Can this be left out or is there anything that can be used in it’s place?
Thanks

Elissa -
I am new to your site and am slowly making my way through your entries. I love your writing style. I often feel like I am having a converstaion with a friend when reading your work. This entry touched by heart and brought tears to my eyes. I have a litlle piece of golden sunshine living at my house as well – Izzy the golden retriever. I know it is Izzy that I will cling to when my daughter goes away to college next year.
I’m getting ready to bake for a charity dessert auction. My first one – but I get to spend 2 whole days baking!
Keep on doing what you love
Leanne

What a great story, with a happy ending! I found this post via a “dog biscuit” search on foodgawker. I wanted to make dog biscuits for kind of a similar reason as you. My puppy Dozer (11 month old Beagle) had a horrible accident when he was hit by a car 2 weeks ago. I found out while I was at work; I was lucky enough to be able to leave immediately to go care for him. He was in the ICU for 3 days but is home and recovering so well. My co-workers really rallied around me during such a traumatic time for me and my puppy and they started collecting donations to help pay for Dozer’s vet bills. I am making these biscuits as a very small thank you to them (for their own puppies) for their support. Great Recipe! The only thing I did different was substitute wheat germ for corn grits as I could not find corn grits. They came out great!

Meg – She does have an Irish terrier look! The one thing is that Irish terriers have sort of boxy noses, you know? Like a rectangular snout? Tilly’s is thin and tapered, more like a greyhound’s. The official humane society guess was German shepherd/wire haired terrier mix, but we’re not sure if we believe that either. All in all though, I think she’s the most beautiful dog I’ve ever seen – but maybe I’m biased :)

I know this post is old but you said you were not sure of her breed. She definitely looks like a mostly Irish Terrier mix. Especially in the photo of her eating the cookie off the ground. If you ever had her hand stripped at a groomers she would look even more like one! Adorable though!
