1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—cleanup will be so much easier this way.
2. In a large bowl, mix shredded duck, brown rice, chicken broth, and beaten egg until it smells absolutely amazing.
3. Gradually stir in oat flour until you get a dough-like consistency that holds together when squeezed.
4. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized portions, then flatten each with a fork to create ridges (if your pup can wait that long).
5. Place on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crunchy.
6. Always let cool completely before serving—hot treats can burn their mouths.

Notes:

• Always use completely cooked and cooled duck meat with all bones removed
• The fork ridges help create extra crunchiness during baking
• Amber prefers these extra crunchy, but you can reduce baking time for softer treats

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight containers for up to 1 week at room temperature
• Don’t refrigerate—moisture will make them lose their satisfying crunch
• They actually get crunchier after sitting overnight

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Novel protein from duck provides an exciting new flavor while being gentle on sensitive stomachs. The combination of brown rice and oat flour creates perfectly crunchy treats that support dental health—way better than processed treats with mystery ingredients!

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

• Digestive Support: Add 1 tbsp plain pumpkin puree for extra fiber (great for sensitive tummies)
