How to make dog treats using tuna
A food processor is best for this recipe as the eggshell is used and needs to be as ground up as you can.
The ingredients used
- Canned tuna - use in water
- Eggs - The shells are also used for their calcuim content
- Flaxseed meal - I used golden but brown flaxseed meal can be used.
- Coconut flour - this can substituted with almond or rice flour.
Tips
Store in the fridge in a sealed container. They should last a week.
If you don't have a food processor and want to make this in a bowl, replace the eggshells with powdered eggshells.
