Yes! Applesauce helps bring the oats and eggs together in this simple dog treat recipe. Use plain, unsweetened applesauce with no added sweeteners, and check the ingredient label before you start.

Dogs can have small amounts of plain, unsweetened applesauce as an occasional treat. Avoid sweetened or sugar-free varieties, and check the label for xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. If your dog has dietary restrictions, ask your veterinarian before offering a new treat.

For a fun touch, use dog-themed cookie cutters or silicone molds to create shapes your dog will love. Smaller treats are great for training.

If your dog prefers crunchy treats, bake them a bit longer, keeping an eye on them so they don’t burn. For softer treats, reduce the cooking time slightly.

Store the homemade treats in a sealed container for up to a week, or freeze them to make them last longer. When frozen, they can stay fresh for up to three months.
