This is a quick and easy recipe for healthy and delicious treats for your dog. One of the best thing about homemade dog treats is that you know exactly what your dog is eating - no artificial flavours or preservatives.
Jake and Coral are completely bananas for these treats! These Salmon Herb Pup-bites are soft style treats and easily broken into tiny pieces - even though I'm certain your dog will love them so much he'll want the whole pan!

Nutrition Tips:
Coconut flour is gluten free, wheat free, low in carbohydrates and sugar. Coconut flour acts differently than wheat flours when baking, and will absorb more liquid than wheat flour.
Parsley and dill are both full of antioxidants and fiber, and both work to freshen your dog's breath. Dill is very good for the digestion and is a natural remedy to reduce nausea and gas.
Salmon is an excellent source of vitamin D and those all important Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function and benefit the skin and coats of dogs.
