• 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)

• 2 cups whole wheat flour

• 1 egg

• ¼ cup water (plus more if needed)

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, and water. Stir until smooth.

3. Add flour. Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour until a firm dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add a little more water.

4. Roll the dough. Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.

5. Cut shapes. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter (or any shape you like).

6. Bake. Place treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden and firm.

7. Cool completely before serving to your dog.

• Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

• Refrigerator: Keeps for about 2–3 weeks in a sealed container.

• Freezer: Freeze treats for up to 3 months. Thaw a few at a time when needed.

Always ensure the treats are completely cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

• Small dogs (under 10 kg): ½–1 treat per day

• Medium dogs (10–25 kg): 1–2 treats per day

• Large dogs (25 kg+): 2–3 treats per day

Adjust based on your dog’s activity level and overall diet.
