Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use a different kind of flour instead of whole wheat flour?

Yes, you can use other dog-friendly flours like brown rice flour, coconut flour, or oat flour. Just remember that you might need to adjust the amount of liquid depending on the flour you use.

2. How long can I keep these treats?

It is best to keep the treats in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks. If you want them to last longer, you can store them in the freezer for up to three months.

3. Can I give my Golden Retriever peanut butter?

Yes, most dogs can have peanut butter as long as it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Always check the label before giving peanut butter to your pup.

Of course! You can try other dog-friendly fruits like blueberries, watermelon, or mango. Just make sure to remove any seeds or pits and double-check if the fruit is safe for dogs.
