🥕 Benefits of Carrots for Dogs

Are Oatmeal Treats Good for Dogs?
Although oatmeal is safe (and even healthy) for dogs, oatmeal cookies contain added sugar, which they should avoid.
How to Make Carrot and Oatmeal Bonz Dog Treats
These treats only contain oats, peanut butter and carrots – all safe for dogs.
📋 Ingredient Notes
- Nut and Seed Butters such as Peanut butter, Almond butter, and Sunflower butter can be an excellent source of vitamins and protein for dogs. The dog treats should be raw and natural, unsalted and unsweetened, and free of any flavors and xylitol, a sugar substitute that is toxic to dogs.
- Oat flour is made from old-fashioned oats, which is safe for dogs. Unflavored, plain oatmeal provides some vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber, which makes it great for dogs who have bowel irregularities. It's also a great alternative to wheat flour, which many dogs are allergic to.
- Carrots are low in calories, high in fiber, and an excellent source of vitamins. They are excellent for dogs.
There is no one who knows your dog like you, and not all dogs digest human food the same way. Feed in moderation, as with any treat.

How To Store Dog Treats
Make sure they have completely cooled after baking - I mean completely.
Once the treats are put in a container or bag, even the smallest amount of residual warmth can cause condensation.
The treats will become soggy and spoil faster.
As these treats are dry, crunchy, and do not contain meat or fish, they can be stored for up to ten days at room temperature, four weeks in the refrigerator, and four months in the freezer.
Always look at your dog's treat before giving it to him. If it looks soggy, discolored, or moldy, don't feed it to him.

Came here after a dog treat recipe on another site really didn't work for me. I was looking to make treats for a doggo Christmas party we're having in my complex tomorrow. I added some chopped dried cranberries and this recipe turned out great - my dog is definitely a huge fan! I tried a few myself and liked them too! I recommend mixing the dough with a fork.

I had to add a T of cold water so they would hold together. This is the second batch now. Much better than buying any bones from the store. I mean do we know what’s actually in them when we buy them 🤯
