Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (no seeds)
  • 1 cup rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Combine the chopped carrots, apple pieces, and oats in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and sticks together when pressed, but not pureed.
  2. Shape Treats: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small, flat discs or crunchy bite-sized treats, suitable for your dog’s size.
  3. Bake Until Crunchy: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shaped treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Bake until the treats are firm and crunchy. Let cool completely before serving to your dog.

Notes

  • Ensure the apple is cored and seeds are removed, as apple seeds contain cyanide and are harmful to dogs.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Customize by adding a tablespoon of natural peanut butter (make sure it contains no xylitol) for extra flavor.
  • Monitor your dog when introducing new treats to avoid allergic reactions.
