Turkey Balls for Dogs

Doggie Christmas Dinner -- Turkey Balls
Doggie Christmas Dinner — Turkey Balls

Note: The prep time does not allow for the making of the dough and the ready time does not allow for the cooling down period. Also the serving size and nutritional information depends upon the size of your pet. These have been calculated for a medium sized dog. Chicken can replace the turkey. You can obtain the calcium either by crushing a calcium tablet or from egg shells. Wash the shells and bake in the oven at 150F/gas mark 2 for 30 minutes. When cold, pulverise in a food processor or mortar and pestle. These are particularly good for older dogs. Another special on the menu at our luxury dog resort.
