And its not just race dogs, my 3 retired hounds look forward to their morning Box 1 bikkie. Can't believe it is not economical to replace the machinery - its a huge Australia wide market. Even my local pet shop can't believe it. Come on politicians here is a welfare issue affecting the happiness of tens of thousands of greyhounds around the country - yup - nowhere to be seen.

Box 1 biscuit replacement recipe as follows:

1. Cereal and Cereal byproducts (SAO biscuits)
2. Meat and meat byproducts (Beef stockcube, 3g real meat remember the biscuits weigh 50g in total for a 4x2 so assuming 6% real meat is being generous)
3. Salt (no need to add, there's enough on the SAO biscuits already)
4. Garlic powder (Garlic powder)

Cooking instructions:

Soak above ingredients in water, allow to settle and dry. Bake if you so wish and put in a pie tray in oven to achieve that hard crusty texture we all have come to know and love.

Added plus - you can reshape them and resize. Why be constrained by "the man" that enforces only two size selections? You can make and bake them thicker, make christmas shaped editions etc!

Change the box cover art and market to kelpies, collies and pet dogs.

Brings a whole new meaning to "Soggy SAO", but nutritionally and taste-wise the dog wont know the difference. And before anyone lacking with a sense of humour replies, nutritionally and taste wise this is exactly the same. They are a great carbohydrate bar that is beef flavoured and an excellent treat. That's about all.

Did I use them? Yes solely because they are convenient. But you always pay a price for convenience anyway.

Cost to produce above Box 1 biscuit clone = 10% of what you pay retail.
