Sherry Yard’s Real Doggy Treats for Max
I’ve officially had Max for two weeks now. It seems like it’s been heaps longer. Throughout the last two weeks, I find myself anxiously waiting to get home to see him, and spending all my Sundays playing with him and teaching him tricks. I can’t help it, but I’m always thinking about him. Last weekend, on the way to a farewell party, squishies, Howard and I drove pass a beautiful park. The first thing that came to my mind was, wow, the grass here is so nice and soft, I bet Max would love to run around in it.
Loving his mid afternoon snooze
I think have I’m starting to scare my friends. Since I’m currently obsessed with Max, I guess it’s only natural that I start baking for him too.
Even Max likes Sherry yard
I remember watching Iron Chef America 3-4 years ago, on this particular episode Wolfgang Puck was challenging one of the iron chef. However it was his pastry chef, Sherry Yard that really amazed me. She was making ice cream, spun sugar, pastries at a super dooper fast pace. It was at that precise moment that I really wanted to start baking. So I would say she was the one person that inspired me to bake and make desserts. Currently Sherry is known as the pastry chef to the stars, she’s responsible for the desserts at the Academy Awards. One of her favourite recipes to bake for celebrity pets are her doggie biscuits.
On a particular Sunday, the weather was beautiful outside, upon finishing our morning walk, I baked Max his first biscuits
Real Doggy Treats

Max enjoying his treat
Whilst baking his biscuits, I couldn’t help but laugh at Max’s snoring. However, once the biscuits were baked and was removed from the oven, Max immediately woke from his deep slumber and couldn’t wait till the biscuit cools down.
Max absolutely loved the biscuits, he loves it so much that I was able to use it as a treat to teach him a new trick. If you have a doggie that you want to spoil, I’d recommend you make this incredibly simple but addictive biscuit, your dog will love you for it.

omg linda! too freaking cute!!
LOL I haven't seen you in ages, Max has stolen you! I'm not even much of a dog person but this entire post makes me squee
So so adorable
OMG, I'm in love with your dog! No wonder you're obsessed. The biscuits look amazing (though for dog-consumption only, huh?)
This is the cutest post ever!!
oh my linda… you've gone soft!
and you dont even make me biscuits…
Awww, your doggy is super cute!
Aw Max is so cute! My bf has a dog called Max as well and he LOVES cookies, so I might try this recipe out for him (and maybe teach him a new trick as well!)
This is the cutest blog post ever! Max is adorable.
You're on the right path on dog ownership. Feed him something that you know is good for him. In my book, kibbles aren't dog food. Have you ever thought that there is a financial connection between the vets and pet food industry? Lovely blog and handsome dog
Your dog is too spoilt. I love the photo of Max asleep at your feet as you cut out the doggy great treats.
Does Max seem to have gotten bigger since you last posted a pic of him? He’s growing up! Lovely biscuits, lucky Max!
.-= Moya´s last blog ..I got 99 problems, but a b!tch [session] ain’t one. Hit me! =-.
Hey Moya, I just realised you are right, Mac has gotten alot bigger in just 2 weeks. he’s still just as naughty though
Oh how cute is Max. I love dogs. They have some really good dog treat books out there. I will definately have to try this recipe for my 2 dogs.Gizmo and Milo.

Awww…I love this SO much! And the picture of him passed out–amazing!
OMG . . the snooze photo is so cute.
Lucky dog getting special treats.
all i can say is: it's good to be yr dog! haha
Max is absolutely so so so so so *pinches face* cute!
My bf has a soft spot for labradors which has rubbed off on me too. Such a shame our parents dislike dogs!
First thing when we move out is to buy a dog =)
And those biscuits look good enough to eat! =D
Gee, you’re putting me to shame. I’ve never baked anything for Jolly (my maltese x shih tzu) in the five years he’s been with us. Max is such a lucky boy!

Max is just so adorable.Can I borrow him for a day or two to play with my dogs? And while we're at it, can you make a batch of these adorable treats for them too?
Lol yes please! I think your two will get along with Max. And yes I’ll make a huge batch of treats for the dogs =D

cute dog! great looking cookies…i feel like eating them too
Max is ADORABLE. Of course, I’m biased. I’m a Lab girl myself (Dad has two English blacks, lovely boys).
Love seeing this recipe – no more Milkbones necessary for my babies! We have three, and a box of large dog Milkbones goes fast around here. Now I can make tasty snacks for the dogs as well as the rest of the family.
Think I may add some cheese or peanut butter in the mix and see what happens. Thanks!

your pup is so cuuute. and the biscuits look lovely. i have a dog of my own who will love them, for sure.
how many biscuits turned out by using these quantities?
i volunteer at a doggie shelter and i want to bake them some biscuits. we have about 70 dogs there and i was wondering what amount of…..everything i need to use in order to get 2-3 biscuits per dog.
I think I was able to cut out 30 biscuits using the recipe. Aww it’s nice to hear that there are people like you volunteering to help our four legged friends. Are you in Sydney? If so, I would love to volunteer to bake and donate biscuits to the doggie shelter.
thank you:)
i’m not in sydney:(, but in bucharest, romania.
