4 Ingredient Homemade Dog Treats

Ingredients
1 cup Flour *
1/2 cup Cheese, grated **
5 oz Tuna, canned
1 large Egg

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grate cheese, and add all ingredients into a medium sized bowl.
3. Mix well until a dough forms. (I like to use my hands and really knead the dough together).
4. Coat 8″ x 8″, oven-safe, baking dish with cooking spray. Press mixture into an even layer into baking dish.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, and remove the mixture from pan onto a cutting board.
6. Cut mixture with a chef’s knife, or pizza cutter, into small pieces (about the size of a thumbnail).
7. Return cut treats to baking dish and bake at reduced temperature of 275 degrees for an additional 40-60 minutes. Check dog treats at 40 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter, until treats are dried and golden brown. The treats will continue to dry out as they cool.
8. Cut Up Homemade Dog Training Treats in Baking Dish
9. Let treats cool and give to your furry friends!

Notes
*Some dogs may have allergies to different kinds of flours. So, monitor your dog when giving them treats made with flour. Whole-grain, nut, or all-purpose flours may be suitable for your dog.
**I like to use sharp cheddar cheese for these treats, but the smellier the cheese used the better!
Storage: treats can be refrigerated for up to a week, or they can be frozen for up to a month!
