2 ½ cups ground oats You’ll need about 3 cups of whole oats to get 2 ½ cups of ground oats.
10 ounces canned salmon drained, liquid reserved
1 large egg *Use 2 eggs if you'd like a softer treat.

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
Add 10 ounces of canned salmon to a medium bowl. Use a fork to break up the chunks of salmon.
Add the egg, then combine the egg mixture and salmon until it looks fairly uniform. (Use 2 eggs for a softer dough)
Sprinkle the 2 ½ cups of ground oats into the bowl. Add enough reserved liquid from the drained salmon to help the dough come together - I used ¼ cup (60mL). Using a sturdy rubber spatula, stir the mixture until it forms a firm dough.
Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper (or on a lightly floured surface) and roll out until dough is roughly 1/8" thick. *Dough will be stiff, this is normal.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes, or a knife to cut them into squares, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather scraps and re-roll dough, cutting out more treats until all of the dough is used up.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet before feeding to your dog.
Store leftover treats in an airtight container.

Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or the freezer for up to 3 months.

*Yield will vary depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
