I need to make these for my dog, his breath is so bad and its always been like that even when he was a puppy.

I omit one egg and use a ripe banana with some peanut butter instead. I also add a tablespoon of ginger with helps with digestion and breathe as well. My dog LOVES these more than any other treats. She used to eat grass when you'd taker her for a walk, and she no longer does, so I'm guessing it's also helping with her stomach as well as her breathe.

Can I use regular cooking oil? My dog hate anything coconut. Can these be frozen?

Yes, you can use vegetable cooking oil. It's just the coconut oil is better for them :)

My dog does not like crunchy treats. I was wondering if these are crunchy and if they are if there’s a way for me to make them soft treats? Also, if anyone knows if they actually work?
