(2023 Ten Homemade Dog Treat Recipes)

2023 Ten Homemade Dog Treat Recipes– There are several different types of dog treats available if you stroll down the pet care aisle at any big shop. There seems to be a treat out there for everyone, whether your dog enjoys a hard biscuit or soft puff or you’re looking for a treat that’s good for their joints, teeth, or coat.

However, the choices are undoubtedly more constrained for pet owners who want more control over exactly what goes into their dog’s body, whether owing to allergies or medical issues.

Make your own dog treats. Making your own treats gives you the freedom to choose just items that adhere to your dog’s dietary restrictions without limiting your canine companion’s palate. In order to get you started, Native Pet put up a list of 10 dog treats that owners may prepare at home, along with user-friendly recipes.

These recipes mostly use cupboard basics like pumpkin purée, whole wheat flour, eggs, bananas, and peanut butter along with a few other widely available items. Because of their simplicity, which makes them simple for dogs to digest, there is some room for experimenting by adding extra spices or ingredients like flax or chia seeds. However, be careful to confirm that anything you’re thinking of adding is okay for dogs before you go too crazy in the kitchen.

1- Carrot Pupcakes Recipe:

These carrot zucchini pupcakes from Wiggleworthy are made mostly from whole wheat flour, oats, zucchini, carrots, and cheddar cheese. The recipe yields 36 mini muffins and is nutrient-dense with the ideal ratio of savoury to sweet. These pupcakes are the ideal treat for people short on time because they can be cooked from beginning to end in under 40 minutes.

2- Pumpkin Recipe:

Whole wheat flour, eggs, peanut butter, pumpkin purée, and water are all items that you probably already have in your cupboard. This Love from the Oven recipe also calls for a few more ingredients that are all very basic. These nibbles are ideal to prepare in the fall when you have leftover pumpkin from the dozen other seasonal recipes you just had to try because each batch of 25 snacks just calls for half a can of pumpkin purée.

While the recipe calls for shaping the dough into biscuit-shaped snacks by rolling it out, several reviewers claim that this method is preferable because it needs less preparation and storage space.

For both diarrhoea and constipation, pumpkin is a natural first aid for dogs.

3- Doggie Donuts Recipe:

The lamb and bison dog chow from I and Love and You serves as the foundation for the Doggie Donuts recipe from Thrive Market. The kibble is ground up in a food processor before being combined with peanut butter, pumpkin, eggs, almond flour, and coconut. The mixture is then baked, and the completed donuts are topped with a frosting made of coconut oil and Greek yoghurt. This is guaranteed to be a hit with your own four-legged companions since, according to the website, the Thrive office dogs gobbled up all 12 little doughnuts.

4- Beef Recipe for Diabetic Dogs:

The sweetness that adding applesauce or pumpkin purée brings to these homemade treats is loved by most dogs, but for certain dogs, such as those who have diabetes, the addition of a sweetener can be harmful. For dogs that have trouble managing their blood sugar levels, these Allrecipes three-ingredient beef treats are a great choice. There is only whole wheat flour, eggs, and beef liver; no additional sugar is used.

5- Sweet Potato Recipe:

Try these baked sweet potato fries from Beagles and Bargains if your dog only eats goodies that are directly taken from your plate. These may be appreciated by both two-legged and four-legged animals since they are made using straightforward, human-friendly ingredients (sweet potato, coconut oil, and spices like cinnamon and turmeric). Just be careful—some spices, like cayenne pepper, are not suitable for dogs, so if you want to experiment with other flavour profiles, be sure to see your veterinarian first.

6- Bliss Balls Recipe:

You can make these Blackmores doggie happiness balls whenever you don’t feel like turning on the oven because all the ingredients are simply combined in the food processor before being chilled in the refrigerator. Make careful to go through the entire recipe in advance to make sure you have everything you need because the ingredient list is a little more extensive than in some of the earlier recipes (it contains crispy rice cereal, dates, shredded coconut, and a probiotic/wholefood powder).

7- Banana Dog Treats  recipe:

Looking for a recipe for vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free dog treats? These banana dog treats from Three Olives Branch are the only option. Brown bananas, oats, and cinnamon are all that are required, however the recipe does suggest that you can add chia seeds or flax seeds for a little extra nutrients.

8- Peanut Butter Recipe:

These no-bake peanut butter biscuits from Damn Delicious are another recipe for dog treats that don’t require an oven. They are also simpler to assemble on the spur of the moment than the more complex bliss balls discussed above because they only require a few ingredients, including pumpkin purée, peanut butter, milk, and old-fashioned oats. And if you don’t have plain pumpkin purée on hand, you can instead use mashed sweet potatoes or bananas for an equally delightful flavour. Avoid the spicy type, though, as it isn’t necessarily healthy for dogs.

9- Chicken And Rice Recipe:

With these delicious chicken and wild rice delights, Carrie’s Experimental Kitchen hit the mark. These biscuits, which are made with a cooked chicken breast, chicken stock, wild rice, flour, salt, and an egg, are the ideal substitution for the plethora of sweeter choices available. Each batch yields around 35 to 40 biscuits, which is perfect if you don’t want to create fresh treats for your dog every few days.

10- Air-Fried Dog Treats Receipe:

Due to how simple they are to operate and how quickly they cook our favourite foods, air fryers are undoubtedly the hottest kitchen item right now. Dog treats may also be made in these countertop cookers. The quickest delights on this list are these air-fried puppy poppers from Blue Jean Chef, which only require five ingredients (applesauce, peanut butter, oats, flour, and baking soda) and eight minutes in the air fryer.
