Homemade Halloween Dog Treat Recipe: Bone Shaped Milky Biscuits
For our pups with allergies, I’m going to have to say that this one isn’t hypoallergenic, mostly because of the whole wheat flour. You could try making it with coconut flour if you want to give it a whirl.
The powdered milk can cause issues for pups with dairy issues, though. Since it’s a milk bone, I can’t really think of a good alternative for that. If you know of one, please let us know in the comments.
