Can I use regular flour instead of whole wheat?

Absolutely! Regular all-purpose flour works fine in a pinch. Whole wheat just adds extra fiber and nutrients that I like for Max, but your pup won't complain either way.

Are these safe for puppies?

Yes! Just like with any new food, introduce them slowly. I started giving Max these when he was about 4 months old - just a quarter pancake at first to make sure his tummy handled it well.

My dog is allergic to eggs - any substitutes?

Try a "flax egg" - mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water, let it thicken for 5 minutes. Works great as a binder!

How many pancakes can I give my dog?

Treats should only make up 10% of their daily calories. For Max (a 50lb lab), that's about 2-3 small pancakes max per day. Adjust for your pup's size!

Can I add other ingredients?

Sure! Dog-safe fruits like mashed banana or blueberries are great additions. Just avoid anything toxic like grapes, chocolate, or xylitol sweeteners. For more ideas on dog-safe foods, check out this list of safe foods for dogs .
