Can self rising flour be used in dog biscuits?

It's not recommended to use self-rising flour in dog biscuits. Here's why:

* Salt: Self-rising flour contains salt, and dogs should have limited sodium intake. Too much salt can lead to health problems, especially in puppies and older dogs.

* Leavening Agents: Self-rising flour also contains baking powder or baking soda. While these are safe for humans in small amounts, they can cause digestive upset in dogs.

* Gluten: Dogs can be sensitive to gluten, and while self-rising flour doesn't contain a lot, it's best to avoid it if possible.

Instead of self-rising flour, use:

* All-purpose flour: This is the most common and safe option.

* Whole wheat flour: A healthier option, providing more fiber and nutrients.

If you want a "self-rising" effect, you can add your own baking powder or baking soda (in very small amounts) to the flour. Just make sure to adjust the recipe accordingly and consult a veterinarian for any dietary concerns.

Important Note: Always consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your dog's diet, including homemade treats. They can advise you on appropriate ingredients and quantities based on your dog's specific needs and health conditions.
