Several of you have requested grain and gluten free version of my most popular recipes so I’ve decided to bow to your pressure(haha) help your sensitive pups enjoy some treats too!
These grain and gluten free peanut butter bacon treats should get you started. Woof!
Ingredients
2 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
2 Eggs
pinch Parsley
1 cup Buckwheat Flour
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
3. Knead dough into ball and roll onto a floured surface as thin as you can and take a straight edge and score the dough horizontally and then vertically to make a grid (I used a pizza cutter). Be careful to score the dough, not completely cut through.
4. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Cool and break into pieces, then refrigerate.

1 1/2 cup frozen Mixed Berries*, thawed and pureed (yield approximately 1 cup fruit puree)
1/2 cup Whole Oats
1 Egg
1 cup White Rice Flour
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, add all ingredients and mix well.
3. Once well mixed, roll dough into 1/2 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down on the tops with a fork to flatten.
4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.

Tip: The dough is slightly sticky so lightly spray your hands with non-stick spray before you roll the dough into balls.

*My mix contained blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

When I mentioned that my dogs loved these BestBullySticks that was kind of an under statement .. they loved, loved, LOVED them.
(We even had a rare resource guarding moment because of how good they were.)
First we tried the braided stick .. Yum!

I may have been at risk of losing a finger trying to get it back.

Now, knowing I have two dogs the wonderful people at BestBullySticks sent me two of each (excluding the sticks I used for the pops) so each dog could have their own.
But Pee Wee can be a jerk when it comes to goodies so he hide his and then went after Big B’s stick.

On to the braided rings, as you can see the dogs went to town!

BestBullySticks are definitely a hit with my boys, but that’s only half the issue. I have to be happy too right?
Well, they still haven’t chewed through their Bully Sticks and we’ve had them for several weeks. I’m also not worried about them swallowing the pieces because BestBullySticks are all natural.
But most important is Big B. He came to me with bad, bad teeth and while they’ve gotten better he still has issues. When he chews on rawhide (and he’s a huge chewer) the pointy pieces and hard texture tend to irritate his gums. I have to make sure he only chews for a minute or two before his gums start bleeding. When I first gave him a Bully Stick I held onto the end (the first picture) so I could take it from him if I needed to. I didn’t need to, he had no issues at all.
He chewed for over an hour with out any gum redness or irritation, and absolutely no bleeding.
These really are the Best Bully Sticks.
Disclosure: BestBullySticks sent me these BullySticks, and some other goodies, for review and use in this recipe.
