TIPS FOR MAKING HOMEMADE DOG TREATS

• When it comes to preparing homemade treats Only use 100% natural, pure ingredients for your dog. Additives in various ingredients can be unhealthy and sometimes even toxic for dogs.
• While I used oatmeal and whole wheat flourYou could use just whole wheat flour, or just oat flour, or even a combination of other flours.
• The size of your homemade dog treats can be varied depending on the size and shape of the cookie cutters used. You may want to make your treats smaller for training purposes or if you have smaller dogs and reserve larger treats for the larger breed dogs. These dog bone cutters are easy to buy online.
• Assure yourself Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree, NO pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling has added spices and other ingredients that you don’t want in these treats.

Homemade Dog Treats

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, pulse to combine all ingredients until a thick, paste-like dough forms.
2. Press the dough into a preformed baking pan or roll between two sheets of wax paper and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
3. Bake for 20-30 minutes until treats are cooked to desired level. After 20 minutes, the treats will be browned and crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. Bake a little longer all the way through for crispy treats.
4. Cool the pan and transfer the treats to an airtight container.
