Ingredient Swaps
If your dog is allergic or sensitive to flour or beef broth, here are some great alternatives to keep your Easter dog treats both delicious and safe:
Flour Substitutes
If your dog is allergic to wheat or has a sensitive stomach, try these alternatives:
- Oat Flour – A gentle, gluten-free option that’s easy to digest. You can make your own by blending plain rolled oats in a food processor.
- Coconut Flour – A grain-free option that’s high in fiber and lower in carbs, but it absorbs more liquid, so you may need to adjust the recipe.
- Chickpea Flour (Garbanzo Bean Flour) – A protein-rich, gluten-free alternative that works well in dog treats.
- Brown Rice Flour – Another gluten-free option that provides a mild, nutty flavor and works well for baking.
- Almond Flour – A grain-free, low-carb alternative, but use in moderation as it’s calorie-dense.
Beef Broth Substitutes
If your dog is sensitive to beef or you just want to switch things up, try these options:
- Chicken Broth (Low-Sodium & No Onion/Garlic) – A simple swap that still adds flavor.
- Bone Broth (Chicken, Turkey, or Fish) – A nutritious, gut-friendly alternative packed with collagen and amino acids.
- Vegetable Broth (No Onions/Garlic) – Great for dogs with meat allergies, but make sure it’s free of harmful ingredients.
- Goat’s Milk or Unsweetened Coconut Milk – Adds moisture and a slight creamy texture without the beefy flavor.
