Cheezy Oat Dog Biscuits-Ambrose Approved!

Making treats for your animal friends is just as easy as making cookies for your human friends. I bet your dogs will show even more gratitude. Homemade treats are something I like to keep on hand for my dog Ambrose, as I like to know what is going in his body. Otherwise how will he live infinitely? Whether it's dog biscuits like these, dried papaya or sweet potato slices or just frozen pieces of banana or peas in the freezer, he loves getting the royal treatment and I love giving it to him.
I crafted this recipe very specifically to tailor the needs of healthy dogs. Brown rice flour is a highly nutritious whole grain for dogs that is easily digested and high in protein. It is both gluten free and a great source of energy. Nutritional yeast is heavy with B vitamins and fortified with B12, making it is a great ingredient for vegan dogs especially. Nutritional yeast contains three times the amount of protein of beef when compared ounce to ounce and tt also gives these biscuits their signature cheezy taste!
Like pumpkin, unsweetened applesauce is a naturally fibrous substance that helps with bowel problems. Here it takes place of unhealthy fats and helps keep a shiny coat.
The remaining ingredients: carrots, parsley and broth are merely for flavor. Dogs want flavor too!
I can guarantee your dog will love these as much as mine does. As they are cooking in the oven you will start to notice a certain glossy look in your dog's eyes, that's what I like to call HUNGRY EYES! These biscuits won't last long.
