For those of you who've already found your new furry friend -- here are some wholesome dog treat recipes with ingredients we can all actually pronounce!

DoggieWiches

4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
One 14 1/2-ounce can chicken broth
4 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Roll out dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick and cut into squares using a cookie cutter. Combine dough scraps and continue to roll out and cut into shapes until all dough has been used.

Place cookies on ungreased, foil-lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cookies dry in it for 3 hours or overnight. Place your dog's favorite sandwich filling (such as peanut butter or ham and cheese) between two squares. Makes 5 to 6 dozen.
