The Favored Treats for Canine Sports!

A well-known treat for those in canine sports, “tuna fudge” offers a powerful scent to motivate dogs. But it’s also easy and quick to make and healthy in moderation! (Other canned meats can be substituted for tuna.)

Tuna Fudge” for Fido

• 6-ounce can of tuna in water (undrained)
• 3/4 cup unbleached flour or your favorite flour
• 1 egg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Pour tuna (with water) and flour into a mixing bowl. Add egg and mix completely. Pour batter onto parchment paper; spread out to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.

Place in oven. After 10 minutes, turn over the loaf and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool on raised wire rack. When cool, score with a pizza cutter. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze.
