1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish—trust me on this step.
2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded rabbit, mashed sweet potato, pumpkin puree, coconut flour, and egg until your dog starts begging from the smell alone.
3. Press the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish (if your pup can wait that long).
4. Drizzle olive oil on top and spread it with a brush for that golden finish.
5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until set and lightly browned around the edges.
6. Let cool completely before cutting into squares—this is crucial for their safety!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving (learned this the hard way)
• Amber prefers these slightly soft, but they firm up nicely when chilled
• Don’t worry about perfect squares—dogs don’t judge presentation

Storage Tips:

• Store in fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container
• Freeze portions for up to 3 months
• Don’t leave these out—they’ll spoil without preservatives
• Toss if you see any mold or strange smells

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Rabbit meat is incredibly lean and rich in protein for muscle health, while sweet potatoes provide natural fiber and vitamins. The coconut flour keeps it grain-free and gentle on sensitive stomachs, making this perfect for dogs with food sensitivities.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

• Green Bean Boost: Add 1/4 cup chopped green beans for extra crunch and fiber
• Creamy Version: Mix in 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt for extra richness
• Senior Dog Special: Mash sweet potato extra smooth for easier chewing (perfect for older pups like Amber)
