1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish—this prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
2. Mix ground rabbit and chopped vegetables first, then add flour, broth, and egg—add broth gradually for perfect texture.
3. Press the mixture evenly into your baking dish until it looks like a colorful casserole that smells like doggy heaven.
4. Smooth the top for even cooking and bake for 25-30 minutes until set and lightly browned on top.
5. Always let cool completely before cutting into squares (about the time your dog finishes pacing impatiently).

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot squares can burn your pup’s mouth
• Amber prefers these slightly soft, but some dogs like them firmer—adjust cooking time by 5 minutes either way
• If mixture seems dry, add broth one tablespoon at a time during mixing

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days (they actually taste better after overnight)
• Freeze beautifully for up to 3 months—thaw in fridge before serving
• Don’t leave these out—fresh vegetables spoil quickly at room temperature

What Makes This Recipe Special:

The combination of novel rabbit protein with fiber-rich vegetables creates a complete nutritional treat that supports muscle health, digestive wellness, and overall vitality. Unlike store-bought treats with mystery ingredients, you control every component while providing the variety dogs crave.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Joint Support Version: Add 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet potato for extra beta-carotene and natural sweetness (perfect for senior dogs like Amber)

Digestive Boost Special: Include 1 tablespoon plain pumpkin puree for extra fiber and stomach-soothing properties

Turkey Alternative: Substitute ground turkey for rabbit—still novel for most dogs but easier to find in regular grocery stores
