Ingredients

  • 1 Small Sweet Potato
  • 1 Cup Carrots (Minced)
  • 1 Medium Banana
  • ½ Cup Unsweetened Organic Applesauce
  • 2 Cups Whole meal flour (white is okay if your dog has allergies)
  • 1 Cup Rolled Oats
  • ⅓ Cup Water

Instructions

  • Cook the sweet potato in the microwave for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the insides are soft. This can vary, so test with a skewer around 6 minutes. Set aside to cool fully.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180deg Celsius).
  • While the oven is heating, get a large mixing bowl and add the Banana and Sweet Potato. Use a hand masher until they are smooth.
  • Add the Carrots, Flour, and Rolled Oats.
  • You are looking for a soft dough consistency, so slowly add the applesauce and water while mixing; being careful not to make too wet.
  • Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is 3-4mm thick (similar to commercially bought pastry sheets).
  • Cut the dough into strips and place on a baking sheet to bake for around 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool fully before letting your dog have some.

Notes

The leftover strips should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
