Sharing a new dog treat recipe I created yesterday - Pumpkin Chickpea Quinoa Dog Treats. They are gluten-free and packed with lots of vitamins, fiber and protein. I usually have a container of cooked quinoa in my fridge and thought it would make a healthy addition to these treats. The quinoa plus the chickpea flour give them a power boost of protein and make them easier to digest.
They're soft and chewy and it's easy to pinch off a piece if you want to use them for training. Keep in mind they have a lot of fiber in them, so don't give too many at once!
Be sure to also check out my other dog treat recipes...they are all gluten-free. Indigo & Lily love them and I hope your pups do too!

Do they like the quinoa?
ReplyDeleteThe quinoa has a neutral taste and acts as more of a base (instead of flour). It's a great substitution and my dogs love these treats!
