High-value Dog Treats
Description
This recipe uses canned tuna combined with an egg and flour to create a thick dough-like paste ideal for making dog treats. The mixture is processed until well-blended and spread evenly on a baking sheet before baking at 350°F. Once baked and set, it is cooled and cut into small squares suitable for dogs or cats (smaller squares for cats). This method produces treats with a fish-forward flavor and density that dogs find enticing.
The simplicity of ingredients keeps the treats straightforward and easy to prepare at home. They have a moist, firm texture and can be broken into precise portions after cooling. Storage recommendations include keeping them refrigerated for up to a week or freezing for longer preservation.
