Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can freeze the treats for up to three months. Remember, these treats are meant for occasional spoiling and should be given in moderation. Always consult your veterinarian if your dog has health conditions or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Substitute turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- Add 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Mix in 1/4 cup of grated carrots for added texture and taste.
- Use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat flour for a gluten-free version.
