I don't currently own a dog but I have friends that do. This is a great recipe for pups with bad breath!

I'm hoping my dog likes this treat because he could really use the breath freshener! He does love coconut oil.
Bonnie McBride says
My pup loves these, however, after 2 weeks in an air tight container they went moldy! What did I do wrong?
Laura says
You can leave them in the fridge and they will last up to 2 months in the fridge!
Katie says
I baked mine a bit longer to make sure they dried out, and also let the mint and parsley dry out a bit too.
Shannon Holmes says
Wow these sound healthy and my dog could stand to eat some of these. Thanks for the recipe.
Santana Powell says
Do you have to pulse the oatmeal or can you leave it as is?
Molly says
You leave it as is 🙂
J says
Well I tried that and they didn’t turn out too well. 🙁
Brent Matsalla says
They will fall apart if not pulsed on a blender or food processor. Check a local thrift store for a blender, I got a Kitchen Aid blender for $10 worth $150.
