Description
Protein-packed squares that’ll make your dog forget their manners – safe, nutritious, and tail-wagging delicious
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes | Makes: 16 squares

Ingredients
- 1 can (3.75 oz) sardines in water, drained (completely safe for dogs)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (about 60g)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, optional (great for joint support)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish—trust me on this step.
- Mash those sardines with a fork until they’re nicely broken up (if your pup can wait that long).
- Whisk eggs and water together, then mix with the mashed sardines until combined.
- Gradually stir in flour and turmeric until you have a thick, aromatic batter.
- Pour into your greased baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares—this is crucial for safety!
Notes:
- Always let cool completely before serving to avoid burning eager mouths
- Amber prefers these slightly soft, but some dogs like them firmer
- If mixture seems too wet, add more flour; too dry, add water gradually
Storage Tips:
- Store in refrigerator for up to one week in airtight container
- Don’t leave these out—they’ll spoil without refrigeration
- Toss if you see any mold or off smells
What Makes This Recipe Special:
