Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils. If you don’t have soy flour, you can substitute it with an equal amount of oat flour or additional whole wheat flour. To make the dough easier to handle, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before rolling out. Ensure that the dough is not too sticky; if it is, add a little more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use creamy peanut butter instead of chunky?
Yes, you can use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture. Chunky peanut butter might give the biscuits a little more texture, but creamy will still yield great results. Just ensure it does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Are these biscuits suitable for all dogs?
While these biscuits are generally safe for most dogs, it's important to consider any allergies or dietary restrictions your pet may have. Always introduce new treats slowly and in moderation to monitor for any adverse reactions.
Can I add other flavors or ingredients?
Absolutely! You can add mashed bananas for sweetness or pureed pumpkin for added nutrition. Just ensure that any added ingredients are safe for dogs. Avoid using sweeteners or ingredients that could be harmful to pets.
