Rye Flour for Dog Treats
Try some rye flour or rye in your homemade dog treat recipes. Very low in gluten, but high in nutrition, rye is often used in dog treats and dog food. Rye is a healthy addition to a dog's diet, and dogs love it! Rye, unlike some of the ancient grains and flours, only appeared on the scene in Europe during the Middle Ages. Rye quickly became a staple, and bread made from rye, was almost the whole "meal" in many European countries. Rye actually contains more protein, phosphorus, iron, potassium and B vitamins than whole wheat. Rye comes in various forms: rye flour, whole grain rye (or groats), rye grits, rye meal (ground so that it resembles cornmeal), rye flakes or rolled rye (looks almost like oatmeal).

Your dog will like the flavor of rye—maybe even as much as you do! Try substituting ½ to 1 cup of rye for other flours in your favorite dog treats recipe. Add a tablespoon of caraway for flavor. Rye and caraway seeds go nicely together! You will be able to buy this flour at your local grocery store. Just look in the baking section with all the flours. You might be able to find rye grits or rye flakes in the cereal section, depending on the variety of cereals that your store carries.
