Homemade Dog Treats Recipe

Homemade dog treats are a fun and easy way to show your pup some love. They’re also a great way to introduce your dog to new flavors and ingredients.

The best part is that making your own dog treats is a lot cheaper than buying them from the store. If you have never baked a thing in your life, you can make these simple dog treat recipes and it is a great way to get started baking.

My guess is that your furry friend will be impressed by your baking skills.

While this is a great treat for your animal, it is not a dog food replacement. So, give treats in a small amount.

Treats for Shelter Dogs

Recently, we made six batches of these and donated them to our local animal shelter. We used bone-shaped cookie cutters. They sold some of them at a craft show for raising funds and gave some of the dog treats to the dogs at the shelter. They were loved by all.

It is a perfect way to donate to our local shelter and it was so much fun too.

Easy Dog Bones

How to Make Easy Homemade Dog Treats

This recipe uses just five simple ingredients plus water. Mix the flour, rolled oats, eggs, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and water in a large bowl. Pro Tip. Make sure to use pasteurized honey. DO NOT use artificial sweeteners. They are not good for a dog’s digestive system.  

At this point, you can either use a cookie scoop to make drop cookie treats or make cut out cookie treats.

If you choose to make drop cookie treats, I like to flatten with a fork before baking.

When making the cut out dog treats, pat out the dough on a generously floured surface to 1/2-inch thick. The dough will be a little sticky so flour the top of the dough too, so your hands do not stick. You could also use a rolling pin for this. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. We also used a fork to help get the dog bones cookie cut outs to the baking tray.

Place on a parchment paper lined baking tray.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes. They will be golden brown on the edges.

Yes, you can, but the nutritional value is not as much as you would get using other types of flour. Whole wheat flour, rice flour, coconut flour, or oat flour are all great options for making this easy dog cookie recipe.

Can Dogs Have Oatmeal?

Yes, oatmeal is a great alternative to regular flour for dogs that may have a sensitive stomach.
