Some of you may already know that I have two furr-babies of my own, Grizz-Lee and Chocolate, and I adore them. They truly are the loves of my life and because they are, I want them to be as healthy as possible and this starts with their diet of food and snacks.
Today, many consumers are skeptical of certain food products sold not only for themselves but also for their furry little ones. They worry where the food is manufactured and if the ingredients used may cause certain health deficits. I, like many others, are also a bit weary of some of the pet snacks in the market. So to save myself the stress, I make my own and my dogs LOVE it!

Peanut butter has been known to be a safe ingredient to use for most dogs; unlike the human race in which some people may be extremely allergic if the scent of peanuts are in close proximity. With a bit of research over the net, I coincidentally came across the same recipe found with a cookie cutter in the dollar section of one of my favorite stores, Target. This recipe is so easy to make and unlike human desserts, if you mess up a little, your furry little one won’t even notice.
The recipe is dedicated to Grizz and Chocolate.

Can I substitute AP flour for whole wheat? If so, are there any other adjustments I’d need to make?
Hi Lani,
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour. I like to use whole wheat flour for the added fiber content but AP flour works great too! No adjustments needed.
Hope your furbabies love them!
