He takes allergy medicine, but I'm still careful. I can always tell when someone (inlaws, usually) give him people food, cause he gets the tell tale itch from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1794139 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:32:37 +0000 psw27 1794139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: my parents labs eat them to help their coats! They are also wheat intolerant (it gives them ear infections). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1794114 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:27:28 +0000 Dandelion 1794114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: we give them eggs a lot...thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1794097 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:24:29 +0000 psw27 1794097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest oats as well. My dad makes some with PB and oats that the dogs go crazy for. I think he might use an egg as a binder, as long as your dogs are egg-tolerant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1794080 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:18:01 +0000 Dandelion 1794080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I wonder if honey will help, too...thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1793963 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 10:35:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 1793963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I've done the oat flour before, and that worked great for me! I think the recipe I used had peanut butter in it too, so that was a great binder. I do remember that they were a tad crumbly when I took them out of the oven if I didn't squeeze them into a ball tightly enough (if that makes sense!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1793499 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 06:35:45 +0000 Dandelion 1793499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: yeah, that's a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1793498 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 06:34:59 +0000 LovelyPlum 1793498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why oat flour wouldn't work. Could you grind them up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-bees-substitute-for-wheat-flour-dog-biscuits#post-1793497 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 06:33:37 +0000 Dandelion 1793497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a dog treat recipe book, but most of the recipes call for whole wheat flour, which irritates my lab. Wheat isn't good for dogs, anyways. I put in a lot of effort to keep him (and my golden) wheat free. Since they're dogs, flavor doesn't matter too much, but I do need something that binds the biscuits together well. Could oats works just fine? </p>
