What if I use 1 cup of whole grain flour and 1 cup of the oats?… would that work?…
That’s fine if you’re dog doesn’t have any wheat allergies. YUM! 🙂

Ok i made these. I didnt have parsley. Sticky and dry hard to work with, so i made them like peanutbutter cookies. Press on parchment paper with a fork. Not pretty, but my 2 little long haired chihuahuas ate a warm one fast. They are habie approved in my house. I might add a touch of peanutbutter next time. I ate one bland but tasty. Lol
We’re glad to hear your pups loved the treats!
I made these today for my 14 y.o. Chinese crested, who only has 3-5 teeth! I patted the dough out on a nonstick pan and scored it to make small squares. I baked them 20 minutes only so they would come out soft. Stewie lived them and I ate one to test. Not bad, but now my dog can have treats. I am going to buy nutrition additives and make again and maybe serve as food raw or TIL cooked but soft. Thank you so much for this recipe! I never comment until I have made, but am so glad I did.
You’re very welcome for the recipe, we’re glad you enjoyed it!
I am going to try and make this weekend. Can I just blender everything together? Thank you! Karen
Karen, A blender should be fine.
Thinking of making these for our 2 fur babies. The pet treats (Vita Bones) were recalled and our pets loved it. Maybe they will like these
Let us know what your pets think, Sherry!
I’m going to make the breath treats this weekend. For the parsley should I use the curly or flat leaf variety?
Sandra, Definitely the Italian Flat Leaf Parsley. I’ll make note in the recipe. Thanks for the question. 😉
Hi! Was just about to make this recipe and then went to double check the safety of parsley just in case. Internet results seem to agree that curly parsley is safe for dogs but flat leaf can be harmful? Is there a reason you specify flat leaf? Bummed cuz I have flat leaf but thinking about going ahead and making it cuz of your comment here
We thoroughly research the safety of ingredients before adding them to our dog recipes. Flat leaf (Italian parsley) should be eaten in moderation, like anything else. For example, the parsley is not eaten by its self but added with other ingredients. Dog treats should always be given in moderation, 1-2 per day. However, we recommend checking with your vet before giving a new food to your dog. My dog, Maggie, loves these treats and has never had an issue. I give her one homemade treat per day, after she eats her food. Our fresh breath treats are given as an occasional treat. I do not recommend raw herbs for dogs.
Hope this helps. 🙂
Can I add fresh mint to the recipe? If yes, how much do you think?
Katherine, Finely chop 4-6 mint leaves before adding to the recipe. Mint is also in many dog treats for bad breath. A touch of fresh mint should be fine.
Gale, thanks for sharing your recipe. I made them for our newly rescued furbaby and she really enjoyed them. It is a sticky dough and I added natural peanut butter and grated zucchini as well. Will definitely make some more.
Linda, Ahhhh, that makes me so happy!!! And, thank you for adopting a rescue. 🙂
I made this recipe but I couldn’t get a good dough consistency… it was super sticky… I even added an extra cup of blended oats and still could not cut out shapes. I ended up just hand forming little logs to get them in the oven. Wondering what I did wrong.
Also, how do you store them?
Mary, Hmmm, I’m not sure why it was so sticky for you. Well at least you were able to use the dough. I’m sure your dog won’t care about the shape. I know my dog could care less. Lol
Store up to one week if the temperature in your house isn’t too warm. They can be frozen. Just take one out at a time to thaw.
Please send recipe.
I love the simplicity of this recipe. It’s easy and beneficial. I would consider adding in more foods that have major benefits such as Pumpkin Puree, Flax Seeds, Basil, Blueberries, and more! Other than that this recipe is divine!
