If your dog is on a gluten- or grain-free diet, you know that it can be tricky to find him treats.
With this Gluten-Free Almond Treat recipe, we've combined almond and quinoa flour, along with almond butter and The Honest Kitchen's Veggie, Nut & Seed Base Mix, so you can make a cookie packed with pawsome flavor while leaving out the grain and gluten. You can find almond and quinoa flour in your local bulk food store and almond butter is right beside the peanut butter in the grocery store.

Recipe Note
Gluten and grain-free dough is notorious for breaking apart when you roll it out. Don't roll the dough out as thin as you would traditional wheat flour. Keeping the dough thicker will help the cookies stay together once they've been cut.
