These Dog treats look so yummy. I think my dogs would gobble them up in one bite. Thanks for the recipe to make these treats. My doggies will love them. Thanks for your post.

This is a great recipe. It was interesting to read about the health benefits.

Hi ... I just made this receipe... modified it somewhat using coconut flour instead of the wheat flour. I divided the batch using fresh blueberries in one and fresh frozen cranberries in the other.
My question is... have you ever added egg or used coconut or almond milk instead of the broth??? To any of your cookie receipes....
I haven’t tested these on my very picky girl yet... hopefully my labour of love won’t be wasted . My girl is 16+ and like I said very very picky.... but I really want to incorporate healthier treats for her.
Thanks

Coconut oil is wonderful for dogs!! However, I do tend to avoid any kind of milk or eggs. Some dogs are allergic to eggs and I prefer gluten-free the dogs 🙂

Coronavirus quaranting, and I don't have wheat flour in the house. Will white flour work?
Kathy says
Made these today exactly according to the recipe. The dough was totally wet. Even though I added lots more flour and oatmeal I still couldn't hold it in my hand so I spooned it onto the cookie sheet. I don't think my dogs will care. They eat anything.

Can you use dried cranberries ? I am having a hard time finding fresh ones this time of the year,
lorraine says
@Jeanette M Lyon, I’m wondering the same.
Diane says
@lorraine and @Jeanette M Lyon - Yes, you can use dried cranberries however make sure they have no added sugars or ingredients like Xylitol. Also use in moderation 🙂
