Dog Treat Recipe For Dogs That Shed with Omega 3

Omega-3 Rich Dog Treats

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole wheat flour (or substitute with oat or coconut flour for dogs with wheat sensitivities)
• 1/2 cup of rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon of flaxseed (ground)
• 1/2 cup of unsalted, natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free as xylitol is toxic to dogs)
• 1 tablespoon of fish oil or flaxseed oil
• 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth or water
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and ground flaxseed.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, fish or flaxseed oil, chicken broth, and egg.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more broth or water.

5. Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes.

6. Bake: Place the treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Cool: Allow the treats to cool completely before serving to your dog.

8. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes:

• Always Consult a Vet: Before introducing any new food into your dog’s diet, especially if your dog has specific health issues, consult with your veterinarian.
• Moderation is Key: Treats should only make up a small portion of your dog’s diet. Too many treats can lead to obesity and other health problems.
• Ingredient Safety: Ensure all ingredients are safe for dogs. Some human foods are toxic to dogs, such as chocolate, grapes, onions, and xylitol (often found in sugar-free peanut butter).

This recipe is a simple way to offer your dog a treat that not only tastes good but also contains ingredients that may support healthier skin and coat. Remember, though, that excessive shedding can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health issue, so it’s always a good idea to discuss this with your vet.
