What Makes This Almond Oatmeal Treat Hypoallergenic?
I bet some of you saw the word “almond” and thought “um, hey there, that’s a tree nut! That’s a common allergen!” Well, yes, you’d be right! If we were talking about people! Dogs, on the other hand, are typically allergic to a whole different slew of ingredients.
Like people, their allergies vary from pooch to pooch. Some are allergic to beef or lamb while others can’t stomach chicken or fish. Some can’t cope with dairy while others have to lay off the soy. Corn, yeast and wheat are also common allergies in dogs.
This particular hypoallergenic dog treat recipe is geared towards pooches who can’t deal with more common wheats and meats (don’t you just love it when we get poetic?). The almond butter is a great ingredient because it’s packed with slightly more calcium and manganese than peanut butter. If you’re on a tight budget, though, you can use peanut butter and get essentially the same results with a slightly different taste.
