How to make homemade dog treats

Most of my dog recipes are made in a food processor for ease. I use it to grind oats as well as mixing up the dough. I have an old 11 cup food processor and it makes making dog biscuits a snap.

This doesn’t mean you can’t make them if you don’t own one. You can mix everything up in a bowl and proceed with the recipe.

If you own a powerful blender, you can use it to break up the oatmeal.

The first step is to grind the oats. Then, the rest of the ingredients are added to the bowl of the processor and everything is mixed until uniform.

Next, roll the dough out and cut shapes. (This is just like making cookies!) Then place on baking sheet and slide into the oven.

My dog is a small breed, so I use a 2″ cutter to make treats for her. If you have big dogs, you may want to make larger biscuits, just remember to add a few extra minutes when baking.

Making dog treats at home is easy and you can make them for half the cost of store bought. This is also a great activity to do with kids (or adults!) who have been cooped up and need something to do.

I’ve been DIY’ing biscuits for as long as I’ve had my dog, which is going on 13 years.

Like many dogs, Sugar has a sensitive stomach and homemade dog treats were the best option for her. If your pup has allergies, this is also a great option because you know exactly what is in the food you are giving to your dog.

Looking for another homemade dog biscuit recipe? Most of these treats use only three or four ingredients, making them incredibly fast and easy.

These fresh breath biscuits will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days on the counter. Keep in mind there are no preservatives, so they can’t sit out as long as store-bought dog cookies.

If you store them in the fridge, they will last about a month and in the freezer, they will last several months.
