Hypoallergenic dog treat substitutions:
Is it possible to turn this treat into a hypoallergenic one? For the most part, yes. I say “for the most part,” because it really depends on your dog’s allergies. Below are the most common allergens in this homemade dog biscuit recipe and what you can use in their place.
- Flour– so many possibilities for this one! I listed a few in the recipe. If your dog is allergic to wheat (as many dogs with allergies are), try anything from coconut flour to almond meal and other nut flours will work. They may give the recipe a different consistency and taste, but they’ll work.
- Meat Gravy: You can try using vegetable bouillion in its place, but it won’t have that same hearty texture as gravy. Another alternative that I actually found on a site for people trying to eat better (FitDay) offers two alternatives. One, use seasoned yogurt. This works if your dog doesn’t have major dairy allergies. Two, make a gravy-like puree out of veggies!
- Baby Food Meat: This one is the easiest. Just grab a jar of baby food veggies. Sweet potatoes work fabulously!
