Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier alternative, you can substitute half of the whole wheat flour with oat flour. If your dog is sensitive to garlic, consider omitting it entirely, as some dogs may have adverse reactions. When mixing, ensure all ingredients are well incorporated for a uniform texture. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more ice water gradually until it reaches the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Offer these treats as a special reward for good behavior or training sessions. They pair beautifully with a refreshing bowl of water. You can also serve them alongside homemade dog-friendly meals like Trickem Valley Possum Stew for a complete treat experience. Just ensure any additional foods are safe and suitable for your dog's diet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of flour for these biscuits?
Yes, you can experiment with other flours such as oat or rice flour, but keep in mind that the texture may vary. Whole wheat flour provides a good structure, so if you substitute, consider mixing it with a bit of whole wheat for the best results.
How do I know when the biscuits are fully baked?
The biscuits should be golden brown and firm to the touch when fully baked. If they are still soft in the middle, they may need a few extra minutes in the oven. Let them cool completely before giving them to your dog.
Can I add flavors or ingredients to the biscuits?
Absolutely! You can add dog-safe ingredients like peanut butter, pumpkin puree, or shredded carrots for added flavor and nutrition. Just ensure any additions are safe for your dog, and adjust the moisture content accordingly to keep the dough pliable.
