Notes
- Peanut butter – Make sure your peanut butter doesn't include the artificial sweetener xylitol as this is toxic to dogs. To be honest, most peanut butters do not include this, but always check the ingredient list.
- Flour – Both all-purpose and whole wheat flour are safe for dogs! If your dog doesn't tolerate wheat, you could try rice, sorghum, oat or garbanzo bean flour as well.
- Broth – Be sure to choose a dog-friendly broth! Many human broths contain ingredients like onions, garlic, or excessive salt, which aren’t safe for pups. Check the label carefully or opt for broths labeled specifically for pets.
