Have you a recipe to share for your sweet potato oat dog treats?
You can swap out the sweet potato with peanut butter, cooked squash, or cooked pumpkin and it still works.
ETA: you can also use whole wheat flour as long as you don't overwork the dough. If you do, you can drop the egg; it's only there as a binder, and gluten gets the job done fine.
Most dogs (including mine) can digest gluten just fine. It can, however, interfere with digesting zinc. Huskies and a few other breeds sometimes have difficulty absorbing zinc. Hence this recipe, made for my adorable husky mix.
As a side note, if you throw in another tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, these make pretty tasty people treats, too.
