In my dog treat book it states that, "All Purpose Flour can be interchangeably with whole-wheat flour. Do not substitute all-purpose flour for self-rising flour. Of course, whole wheat flour is preferred. It is more nutritious and fewer chemicals are used in processing whole-wheat flour."
I really like my dog treat book because it list every single item that the recipes call for and explains why it's being used, what the item is, if there's a substitute, and nutritional intake for the dog. It goes into pretty good detail about the ingredients as well as the recipe for the treats.
So go right ahead and use all purpose flour use it as a substitute for your dog treats. Good Luck

While you can, the whole wheat flour or rye flour or rice flour is better.

Sometimes the "gluten" in white flour is rough on the dog's intestines and can give them diarrhea. Wheat flour is always best.

If the recipe said whole wheat flour than it's ok to use all porpise flour, but it's better to use whole wheat flour. trust me. I asked my mom and she haas been cooking for years and years and years. She's pretty old!

Yes it can be used but the wheat would probably be healthier for your dog.

Do what the recipe says or the dog might get sick.
