Mackerel is high in protein and calcium. The bones are left in the mackerel when it is canned, but they are very soft, and wont harm your dog.
15 oz can mackerel
1/2 cup whole grain bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 tbsp minced green pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil or peanut oil
1 egg, well beaten
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mash mackerel thoroughly. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix very well. Shape into small balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Using a fork, press each ball slightly to flatten it out. Bake about 20 minutes. Flip cakes and bake another 5 to brown them on both sides, and dry them out just slightly. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
Good luck everyone, here's hoping your pups love them!!
Very cool. I'll save this for when I have a dog again :)
