We humans like to make our dogs feel included when we're enjoying a special treat or occasion, like a cookout. With this simple recipe you can make barbeque-flavored biscuits sure to assuage your hungry pup when the burgers and hot dogs hit the grill!

Making the Barbeque Sauce

Step 1

Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the tomato paste, beef stock, applesauce, cloves and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 2

When the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Simmer the barbeque sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Allow sauce to cool completely.

Step 4

Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes from the dough, then transfer the biscuits to a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Step 5

Whisk 1 cup of the remaining barbeque sauce with one egg. Brush the biscuits with the barbeque sauce glaze.

Step 6

Bake the biscuits for 30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely. Recipe yield will vary depending on cookie cutter size.

Tips

If your dog is lactose intolerant, use corn oil in place of the butter.

Warnings

You can use purchased barbeque sauce for this recipe, but most ready-made barbeque sauces are high in sugar and contain garlic and onions, which are poisonous to dogs.
