2 3/4 c White rice flour
1/4 c 1% low-fat milk
1 Clove garlic; crushed

Combine flour and garlic in a large bowl. Cut in margarine. Stir

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.
