  3. Brush them lightly with oil and lay them on a rack over a tray.

  4. Bake for about an hour, until dry right through and crisp.

  5. Cool completely before you box them.

The small print

  1. This treat hasn’t been reviewed by a veterinary nutritionist. Its kcal is arithmetic from food tables.
  2. A reward comes out of the day’s food, never on top of it: on a training day the bowl is a little smaller. A dog on a prescription diet, or with diabetes, pancreatitis or kidney disease, should have its rewards cleared with a vet.
