1 cup grated apple (peeled and cored)
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free option)
1/4 cup water (or as needed)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dog chew sticks.
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated apple, grated carrot, and whole wheat flour thoroughly.
Add Water: Gradually add the 1/4 cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing to form a firm dough that holds together well.
Shape Dough: Roll out the dough and shape it into small sticks or your desired shapes suitable for dog treats.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then arrange the shaped dough pieces neatly on it.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the treats are firm and dry to the touch.
Cool: Remove the baked chew sticks from the oven and allow them to cool completely before giving them to your dog.

Notes

You can substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
Ensure the apple is peeled and cored to avoid any choking hazards for your dog.
Store the chew sticks in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Always introduce new treats gradually and supervise your dog while chewing.
If your dog has food sensitivities, consult with your veterinarian before offering new treats.
