Tips & Substitutions
For a crunchier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of cornmeal to the dough. If your dog has allergies, you can substitute the whole wheat flour with oat flour or a gluten-free blend. Ensure the garlic is in small amounts, as too much can be harmful. Also, keep an eye on the baking time; thinner biscuits will bake faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour if your dog doesn't have wheat allergies. However, whole wheat flour provides more fiber and nutrients, making it a healthier option for your furry friend. Just keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly.
Is it safe to add ingredients like peanut butter or pumpkin?
Absolutely! Adding a tablespoon of natural peanut butter or pumpkin puree can enhance the flavor and provide extra nutrients. Just ensure that the peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Adjust the water content accordingly if the dough becomes too wet.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. You can also check by breaking one in half; it should be dry in the center. If they are still soft, give them a few more minutes in the oven to ensure they are fully baked.
