FAQs About Chicken Dog Treats

Can dogs eat wild rice?

Yes! Wild rice is a great source of fiber and antioxidants for dogs. It’s also easier on sensitive stomachs compared to white rice and adds a hearty texture pups love.

Can I use other types of rice?

Absolutely. Brown rice or white rice can work in a pinch, but wild rice gives these wild rice dog treats an extra nutritional edge.

Is it safe to use cooked chicken?

Yes, always use fully cooked, plain chicken without seasoning. Shredded or finely diced chicken works best for binding with rice and flour.

Can I freeze these treats?

You sure can! These easy baked dog treats freeze beautifully. Just store them in an airtight container and thaw as needed for snack time.

How long do these dog treats last?

They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer and use within 2 months for optimal flavor and texture.

Definitely. You can double or triple the chicken dog treat recipe to suit your needs—just adjust baking time slightly and keep an eye on that golden-brown top!
