As a human, I feel that the things I love most in life are NOT recommended in large doses. For example- CHEESE! Why, oh why? I’m sure you can relate to me on this one and sadly, this also holds true for dogs. Making this cheesy dog fries recipe is the first time I’ve ever given Luna cheese and she became an addict at first bite. It was like some kind of performance enhancement drug. The quickness she would sit or lay down on command was shocking and amazing. Her eyes never lost sight of me, like a tracking device ready to launch on their target. Behold, the amazing powers of cheese!
I found myself snacking on these cheese fries quite a lot! Often, I’d forget that I actually made them for her. “No Luna, these aren’t for you.” Oh, wait…
Let me know, did these make your pup go crazy too? Share this cheesy dog fries recipe if you enjoyed this!
Crispy Cheesy Dog Fries
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour

- 0.5 cup water
Preparation: 10 min Cooking: 25 min Makes: 40-50 fries
Instructions
- Mix the flour and shredded cheese.

- Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C) and prepare a baking sheet
- Sprinkle flour over your working station and rolling pin.

- Cut into long thin rectangles. I cut mine to 1cm x 15cm.

Did You Know?
Cheese can contribute to your dog’s calcium intake and the fat provides them with energy and helps to absorb other vitamins. However, cheeses are known to have a lot of calories, fat, and sodium. Just like their humans, we don’t NEED cheese. The healthiest choices would be mozzarella and cottage cheese. Fair warning, give cheese very sparingly- it’s a real special treat!
Tips & Tricks
* I didn’t use the whole 1/2 cup of water. The amount used depends on the type of flour.
* For an alternative flour, I like to use 50/50 brown rice flour and oat flour.
* Shut off the heat and leave the treats in the closed oven till it cools down for extra crunchy treats.
* If your dough is too dry, add water bit by bit. If too wet, gradually add more flour.
* Keep treats in a tightly sealed container for longer lasting freshness.

It seems too complicated and extremely large for me. I am having a look forward to your next post, I’ll try to get the hold of it!

November 9, 2017 at 6:53 pmMmmm…I love cheese. I’m not sure about the dogs. Stetson would eat anything. If we put dirt in his bowl he’d think it was the best thing in the world. Not sure about Linus, he’s picky. Raven…well she cleans up puppy poop so I’m sure she’d eat cheese. Love the pic of the fries in a box.

November 10, 2017 at 10:44 amThank you! Making the fry box was a fun little DIY project haha! Aw, would love to see your dogs! I bet there’s never a dull day. I found that my dog Luna has gotten pickier over the months. Maybe the abundance of always tasting treats has refined her palate?
