Recipe FAQs

Expert Tips

• Use Parchment Paper:Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
• Customize for Training:Cut smaller shapes for teaching tricks and training sessions without overfeeding your pup.
• Test One First:Break off a small piece to test that it’s cooled properly and has the right texture.
• Keep a Recipe Card:Save a recipe card with your dog’s preferred baking time for future batches.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

Room Temperature
