rolled oats | 1 cup | organic | |
peanut butter | 1/3 cup | all natural | |

Pro tips

-
Speak to your veterinarian if you have concerns about which foods are best for your dog or before making any changes to your pets diet.
-
Stays fresh for a week to ten days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
-
The amount of treats will depend on the size of your cookie cutter or mold.
-
You can use 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds if you do not have the whole seeds on hand. If you have whole flax seeds, you can use a coffee grinder to grind them. Grinding the flax seeds makes the nutrients more easily absorbed.
