Your Pets Will Love This Disgusting New Dog Food. Look What’s In It.

Almost every dog likes to eat cat poop. Alton Brown’s dog recently raided the cat litter box and it inspired him to come up with a tasty treat recipe.

Stinkin’ Dog Treats recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2014

1 small sweet potato, approximately 8 ounces

10 ounces old fashioned rolled oats, approximately 3 cups

3 ounces oil packed sardines, drained

1 large egg

1 ounce unsalted peanut butter

2 teaspoons fish sauce, optional Procedure: 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Pierce the sweet potato several times with a paring knife, then microwave on HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender. 3. Meanwhile, grind the oats in a food processor for 3 minutes or until the consistency of whole wheat flour. Remove the oats from the food processor and set aside. 4. Combine the sweet potato pulp, sardines, egg, and peanut butter in food processor. Pulse 10 to 12 times until the mixture forms a thick paste, there will be some lumps. 5. Add 2 cups of the ground oats and pulse an additional 10 to 12 times, until the mixture starts to come together. Similarly to pie dough, it will look dry but should hold together when pressed. 6. Sprinkle your work surface with some of the remaining oats and roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into treats using a pizza wheel or cookie cutters. (Size of cookie cutters used: 2 inch) 7. Bake on a parchment paper-lined half sheet pan for 30 to 40 minutes or until treats appear dry and lightly browned on the bottom. Turn off the oven, brush with the fish sauce, if desired, and let the treats dry in the oven for 1 hour. 8. Store in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Yield: 40 two-inch treats

What a great idea, but you still might have to keep the cat litter box off limits. Share this with your friends. Their dogs will love you for it.
