Bacon Dog Treats - Notes

Baking time will vary depending on size and while I based this recipe on thirty treats, you could make more or less so adjust cook time accordingly.

For a harder biscuit, leave in turned-off oven for a few hours.

Store baked treats in freezer for longer term storage - up to 3 months. Transfer as many as you need/want for a week's supply to the refrigerator and they will always taste fresh for Fido.

Another strip of bacon added to the recipe won't hurt if treats are given sparingly. Just drain well on paper towels before using.

Whole wheat flour adds more substance and stronger flavor to a recipe, but If your pet has any issues with it, you can replace with another flour such as brown rice flour. If you do, reduce the amount to to 3/4 cup and increase the oat flour by a quarter cup.

If you want to reduce the gluten in the recipe, you can replace the whole grain wheat flour with whole wheat pastry flour without losing any nutritional benefits.
