 Healthy Spinach Dog Treats: Boost Your Dog’s Iron Intake

Spinach is a nutrient powerhouse, rich in iron, vitamins, and antioxidants. These Healthy Spinach Dog Treats are a great way to introduce leafy greens into your dog’s diet. While not all dogs may immediately take to spinach, the addition of cheese makes these treats irresistible. They’re perfect for pups who need a little extra iron or a boost in overall health.

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese  

2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour)  

1 egg  

¼ cup water (as needed)

Instructions  

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).  

Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and cool.  

In a bowl, mix the spinach, cheese, and egg.
