Can I substitute whole wheat flour for all purpose flour for a dog cookie recipe?

Question

I found a bunch of dog cookie recipes online, and they all ask for whole wheat flour (sometimes white flour) but I can't find it anywhere! Would it be ok if i substitute whole wheat flour for all purpose flour? Whats the difference?

Answer 1

You have phrased your question backwards. The recipes call for whole wheat flour and you want to substitute all purpose for whole wheat. Not a good idea, healthwise. Whole wheat is healthier for people, too. Most supermarkets carry whole wheat flour. There is also "white whole wheat" flour, which is 100% whole wheat of a different type, just as healthful, and milder in taste than regular whole wheat flour. King Arthur brand, or Trader Joe's. ALL whole wheat flours should be kept in a jar in the freezer, or at the very least refrigerated, because they go rancid faster than ordinary flour.

Can Dogs Eat Wheat Flour

Answer 3

Most dog recipes should call for whole wheat flour and NOT all purpose as dogs are not supposed to have white flour. Maybe you are confused?

Answer 4

It is not good for your dog(s) to eat white flour...it is too processed. You can find Whole Wheat Flour at Wal-Mart or any whole food or organic food store. It's not overly expensive.

It's the owner that needs to learn how to train the dog, so sending it away to be trained means it will work for the trainer, but when it gets home the owner will probably do everything wrong and the dog will not respond correctly. Learn how to train your dog obedience https://tr.im/eNoWU



Part of the fun in having a well trained dog is learning to train it correctly yourself. That is also the most rewarding. Some people send dogs away for specialist training, like sheep herding, protection work or gundog training, but even then, that is the lazy way out and good trainers do their own training to get what they want from their own dogs.



However it is always more productive to train your dog under a good instructor, especially if you are not experienced

I have found some recipes on line, but they tend to have other things I don't want in them too. My best suggestion to you is to get a food dehydrator & just make your own dehydrated veggies (& fruits) for treats. Yams are a big hit at my house...but I must say they were skeptical the first time! Here's a recipe (but I find that the soaking them makes no difference, a food processor makes quick work cutting them & a dehydrator with a built in timer is a blessing!): Ingredients: several pounds of sweet potatoes (about 1 per tray) white vinegar Equipment: multi-tray electric food dehydrator mandolin, knife or other slicing device French fry cutter (optional) Select whole sweet potatoes to suit the desired finished chewies. Large, roundish sweet potatoes slice into 1/4-inch- to 3/8-inch-thick flat slabs. Long, narrow sweet potatoes pass through the French fry cutter more easily to make FRIES. Soak cut pieces of sweet potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes in cool, fresh water acidulated with white vinegar. Pat pieces dry with paper towel and place in single layer in each of the trays of a pre-warmed dehydrator. Check trays after 24 hours and remove thoroughly dry pieces. Large and thick pieces might take two or three days in the dehydrator to dry completely. Allow entire batch to dry before reloading dehydrator. These are very healthy treats, not many dogs will be allergic to yams & they are a great anti-oxident too! Bless you for caring & cooking for your fur kid!

Dogs are actually not supposed to have wheat products. My lab got ready bad yeast infections from dog foods with wheat in it. It makes sense since dogs are carnivores.
