Notes

Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for 7 days, in the fridge for 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Adjust baking time for desired crunchiness.
Use chickpea flour for a grain-free alternative.
Use applesauce instead of olive oil for a low-fat version.
Check with your vet before introducing new ingredients if your dog has sensitivities or allergies.
