• 1 cup cooked sweet potato (mashed)
• 1/2 cup ground beef (cooked and drained)
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for grain-free option)
• 1 egg
• 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potato and cooked ground beef.
3. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Add water if needed to bring the dough together.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters to cut out treats.
7. Place treats on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until firm.
8. Let cool completely before serving.

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Always ensure treats are fully cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

• Small dogs: 1–2 treats per day
• Medium dogs: 2–3 treats per day
