These homemade apple carrot dog treats are not only delicious but also packed with health benefits for your furry friend.

Health Benefits of Each Ingredient:

1. Apple: Rich in vitamins A and C, apples promote a healthy immune system and support skin and coat health. They are also a great source of fiber for better digestion.
2. Carrot: Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which supports good eyesight and is full of fiber that promotes healthy digestion.
3. Unsweetened Applesauce: A natural sweetener that adds moisture to the treats while being a great source of fiber and antioxidants. Make sure it’s unsweetened to avoid harmful sugars for dogs.
4. Egg: Eggs provide a great source of protein, which helps in muscle development and tissue repair. Eggs also help bind the ingredients together.
5. Melted Coconut Oil: Coconut oil provides healthy fats that support the skin, coat, and digestion. It’s also rich in lauric acid, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
6. Blackstrap Molasses or Maple Syrup: This provides a touch of sweetness without harmful processed sugars. Blackstrap molasses is rich in iron, calcium, and other essential minerals.
7. Almond Flour: A gluten-free option that’s rich in vitamin E and healthy fats. It helps to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
8. Oat Flour: Another gluten-free flour that’s high in fiber, supporting healthy digestion and providing slow-release energy.
