Nina, (& others needing a wheat flour alternitive)
I use Oat flour in ALL my dogs recipes, Including the liver "bait" I make for my show dogs. It works cup for cup like regular flour & I have yet to have a dog react poorly too it.

We did the Gieger Barks tonight and the list of ingredients did not match the instructions. The ingredients called for 1/4 cup applesauce and the instructions said to add the oil. Confused could not find the oil in the list of ingredients. Did I miss something??? Used the applesauce and not the oil and they worked out.
