Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the salmon is fully cooked, cooled, and free of bones, skin, seasoning, and added oil.

Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and flake it finely with a fork.

Add the egg and stir until evenly combined.

Gradually add the oat flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

Add water a little at a time if the dough feels too dry. Avoid making it sticky or runny.

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it to approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Cut the dough into small bite sized shapes using a cookie cutter.

Arrange the treats on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them.

Bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the treats are firm and cooked through.

Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Salmon Safety: Use fully cooked, plain salmon and carefully remove all bones. Avoid smoked, salted, seasoned, or raw salmon.

Ingredient Tip: Choose salmon prepared without onion, garlic, sauces, or added seasoning. Cats do not need salt or spices in their treats.

Texture Tip: For crunchier treats, make the pieces small and bake until firm without allowing them to burn. Let the treats cool completely before checking their final texture.

Storage: Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze small portions for longer storage and thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.

Common Mistake to Avoid: Do not use raw salmon or assume that all fish products are bone free. Check the salmon carefully before mixing the dough.

Serving: Offer a small piece or two as an occasional treat, depending on your cat's size and dietary needs. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of daily calories and should not replace a complete and balanced cat food diet.
