1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper—novel protein treats can be delicate.
2. Mix shredded rabbit with grated carrots first to create flavorful base with incredible novel protein aroma.
3. Add oat flour and egg, combining until cohesive mixture forms that holds together without being too wet.
4. Roll out mixture to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into bite-sized pieces appropriate for your dog’s chewing strength.
5. Place chews on baking sheet with space between pieces and bake 20-25 minutes until firm and well-set.
6. Always let cool completely before serving—hot novel protein chews can burn your pup’s mouth.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot meat chews can burn your pup’s mouth
• Amber prefers these when they’re firm enough for satisfying jaw exercise but not rock-hard
• If mixture seems dry, add tablespoon of water; if too wet, add more oat flour until workable

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week (they maintain freshness and novel protein benefits beautifully)
• Freeze individual chews for up to 2 months—perfect for maintaining hypoallergenic freshness
• Don’t leave at room temperature—meat-based treats spoil quickly without refrigeration

What Makes This Recipe Special:

The combination of hypoallergenic rabbit protein with vision-supporting carrots creates chews that are perfect for dogs with food sensitivities while providing satisfying texture for mental stimulation. Unlike processed novel protein treats with additives, these deliver clean nutrition through minimal, recognizable ingredients that support the most sensitive systems.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Digestive Support Version: Add 1 tablespoon plain pumpkin puree for additional fiber and stomach-soothing properties

Extended Chew Special: Make slightly thicker and cut into longer strips for dogs needing serious jaw exercise and entertainment

Breath Fresh Enhancement: Include finely chopped fresh parsley for natural breath freshening and beautiful color contrast
