  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth (more if needed)

Instructions

  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, grated carrots, whole wheat flour, oat flour, egg, olive oil, and chicken broth. Mix until a dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add more broth a tablespoon at a time.
  3. Shape the Treats: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply form small balls with your hands.
  4. Bake: Place the shaped treats on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the treats cool completely before serving them to your dog. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
