  6. Roll the dough into small bite sized pieces or press it flat and cut into tiny shapes.

Recipe Notes
  1. Use tuna packed in water rather than oil, preferably without added salt or seasonings. Check the ingredient label carefully.
  2. These treats should be given in moderation and should not replace your cat's complete and balanced food.
  3. Because tuna is not nutritionally complete for cats when fed as a primary food, these should remain an occasional treat rather than a regular meal.
  4. Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a few days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
