Tips & Variations

• Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor, which is safe and beneficial for most dogs.
• If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more oat flour before rolling or pressing.
• Make smaller treats by using mini silicone molds or small cookie cutters for training-sized biscuits.

Storage
