I'd suggest using rice flour instead of wheat. Wheat's not great for dogs.

I did consider that, but my local store didn't have any rice flour. So i kept the treats small. I chose whole wheat because it would go down easier then processed white flour. And i already knew my dog doesn't have a wheat allergy unlike my cat. but thanks for the info. I still look for the rice flour when the thought pops in my head.

I haven't thought of any off hand. but you could possibly crush beef or chicken bouillon into them, but that can easily override the effectiveness of the parsley

Will be 8 weeks old on Aug. 23rd. I luckily managed to find them all good homes.

by the way my dog prefers these treats to normal store bought ones! thanks for the recipe! and uhh... i left a few of them in a Ziploc on my counter and my ol man came midnight snacking and well ate a few of them i asked him in the morning "why is half the dog treats gone?" and he was like "i thought those were biscuits or something are you telling me they are dog treats?" it was funny

great im so glad to hear. I ended up winging the recipe because i didn't have everything that the other recipes i found online had so i just used them as a guideline. The puppies above are a mix of Chiweenie (chihuahua and dachshund) and papillon. So they only get max of 15 lbs. my Papillon is huge.

Nice! I use a small biscuit cutter which speeds up production. I also found that I had to make small batches because the treats will go bad in this hot and humid weather. I also store them in a refrigerator. Thanks.

Perfect! My dogs have bad breath, and the liver flavored toothpaste doesn't smell great either. Just need to get the parsley and mint, and then I'll make them.
