By popular demand, this page presents wheat-free and low-purine recipes for dogs that need to avoid wheat products due to allergies or other health problems.  I've included the nutritional analysis with the first recipe because it is lowest in protein content that I've found.  If you'd like nutritional info on any of the other recipes, please let me know.

Special Note: Because of the Schnauzer, Dalmatian, and certain other breeds' tendency toward urinary stone formation, diets and treats low in "purine-yielding ingredients" are advised. Every attempt has been made to ensure that this recipe uses relatively low purine ingredients, however I cannot guarantee that your dog will not have a reaction to these treats, either allergic or urinary. It is very important to monitor the pH of your dog's urine when introducing new foods and treats to its diet. The urinary pH should not deviate from the normal pH of 7.0 if all is well. If you note any deviation, you should contact your veterinarian immediately for a standard urinalysis to see if abnormal urinary crystals are forming which can "grow up" to become obstructing stones, or to detect other urinary problems. Also keep in mind that these treats should be fed in small amounts and are not meant to replace a well-balanced diet. (Thank you, Ann Shaw, for such an informative wording for this warning).

Wheatfree Salmon Treats, From Ruthie on the B.A.R.F. list

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Wheat-Free

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can salmon with juice -- (8 oz.)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs -- shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds ground up in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds ground up in coffee grinder
2 cups potato flour -- (2 to 3)

Put these ingredients into a food processer, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. I can't tell you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3 cups. When the dough forms, like a pie curst, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take out.

Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into  this and when it is a rolled out cookie consistancy, it is ready to roll out into about 1/4 inch thick. I use a pizza cutter to roll our long strips and then cut crosswise to make samll squares . If you want FANCY you may  use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed Pam or line the
sheet  with parchment paper. I put in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I bake this in a 375º oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as hard as you want - to make them harder, just leave them in the oven after you turn the oven off.

From Ruthie on the B.A.R.F. list.
