What's Best About These Dog Treats

While flea prevention is the main focus, here are some healthy reasons to try this recipe:

• Made with natural ingredients including whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and brewer's yeast, these treats offer real nutrition without any artificial additives.
• Brewer's yeast has been used since the 16th century to make bread and beer, but also for its benefits to health.
• Rich in Fiber and Protein: to help support digestion and muscle health.
• Great Flavor: Brewer's yeast and chicken stock add an enticing natural aroma and flavor that dogs love.

Some of the ways the treats can benefit your dog:

• Help revitalize your dog’s coat condition while being especially good for dry, itchy skin.

• A natural remedy to repel fleas on dogs because it contains sulfur compounds that make your dog's skin less palatable to them.

• B vitamins have been said to help relieve or reduce anxiety in dogs.

• Often recommended by integrative vets to help boost a dog’s immune system and promote healthy liver function.

You will like:

• That your pet is receiving health benefits in addition to the flea prevention help.
• That the recipe is simple and comes together easily, with minimal ingredients and effort.

Flea Prevention Dog Treats Recipe Nutrition

• Whole Wheat Flour: High in fiber, this flour supports digestive health and provides energy through complex carbohydrates.

• White Flour: Used to help with the dough's texture and consistency, white flour provides energy but is less nutritious than whole wheat.

• Wheat Germ: Good source of vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant. Rich in B vitamins and minerals such as zinc, iron, and magnesium. Contains essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, to support skin and coat health.

• Brewer's Yeast: Brewers yeast is high in protein (amino acids) and minerals such as selenium, potassium, chromium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 and B9. As well as having a flavor most dogs enjoy, it's also a good source of minerals such as selenium, potassium, chromium, iron, zinc, and magnesium.

• Chicken Stock: Contains essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals as well as contributing flavor. Select low sodium variety or homemade for a healthier choice.

• Safflower Oil: Good source of Omega 6 fatty acids. Select cold or expeller-pressed to avoid chemicals. This oil is flavorless which enables the flea fighting ingredient to dominate.

Recipe Notes

Recipe Substitutions:

If you want, or need to modify this recipe for dietary needs, here are some substitutions:

• Gluten-Free Flours: Substitute the whole wheat flour and white flour with a gluten-free flour blend (such as rice flour, oat flour, or coconut flour).
• Oat Flour: This is another excellent option, which is high in fiber and gentle on your dog's digestive system.
• Almond Flour: You can also use almond flour for a grain-free option, though it may alter the texture slightly.
• Safflower Oil: A healthy substitute is cold pressed extra virgin olive oil (no chemicals used in processing)
• Use low-sodium beef broth or just water instead of chicken stock, if preferred.

Health Alerts:

• Check with your vet if your dog has diabetes or yeast allergies. Brewer's yeast is generally not recommended for dogs with these conditions.
• If your dog's diet is restricted due to weight issues, be aware that Brewers yeast is relatively high in calories. Again, check with vet.
• Substitute one of the gluten free flours listed above for the wheat flour and wheat germ if your dog is allergic to these ingredients.

Best Way to Store and How Long They Last:
To keep these Flea Prevention Dog Biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1-2 weeks.

For longer storage, freeze treats for up to 3 months. Just be sure to let them cool completely before storing. Dogs with healthy teeth don't mind chilled treats, plus they come to room temperature pretty fast.

Serving Size for Dogs:
Serve 1-2 treats per day, depending on your pet's size and the size you make the treats.

Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Mixing Bowls: For combining the dry and wet ingredients.
• Rolling Pin: To roll out the dough to the desired thickness.
• Cookie Cutters: To shape the dough into fun or traditional biscuit shapes.
• Baking Sheet: To place the cut dough for baking.
• Parchment Paper: To line the baking sheet and prevent sticking.
• Measuring Cups & Spoons: For accurate measurements of ingredients.
