I've made these several times and they're always a hit. My dd, who is a dog trainer at PetSmart, makes them for all her "graduates" 
. I once made these for my coworkers with dogs and one person actually ate one before I could stop him and he said they were pretty good. Whenever DH makes bacon, we put some of the fat in the freezer so I can make them whenever the mood strikes. I'd like to find a dog friendly decorative icing to dress them up.
"Pooch Munchies"
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup bacon fat
1 cup shredded cheese (any kind, I usually use cheddar)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
Place flour and garlic salt in large bowl; stir in bacon fat and add cheese and egg. Gradually add enough milk to form a dough. Knead dough and roll out to about 1/2" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Bake on greased cookie shee at 400 for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
Lard, like bacon, is from pork, so the logical substitute would be lard. Shortening, heck no.
Personally, if I didn't have bacon fat, I would either use all chicken fat (like the kind you can render off a great pot of chicken soup), or mix chicken fat with lard.

Awesome! Thankyou very much!
What do you think I could sub for the bacon fat? (I only have two lbs of turkey bacon in my freezer, doesn't render fat at all) Lard? Shortening?
You're welcome!
I agree with Theresa...definitely not shortening, they'd be pretty bland. Would lard add flavor? I wonder if the dogs would like them as much without the bacon flavor.
