I plan on making my first batch of dog treats this weekend. I can't wait to make my girl some treats that I know are healthy and the right size for her. Looking forward to seeing what kind of treats people suggest.

Simple, and the dog loves them. Can also add some bacon...

I made some yesterday,

Peanut butter
bananas
coconut oil
and oats

Lilo and Dixie the pug both enjoyed them

This was featured on the Home and Family Show this morning! I'm going to make it for Mollie to have during the holiday season...I'll make it in muffin tins so that it's portion controlled (she needs to watch her figure!) It's good enough for people to eat!

Ingredients
2 lbs Organic Ground Turkey
1 cup Cooked Quinoa (or Brown Rice)
1 Small Sweet Potato
1/2 cup fresh Cranberries
1 small zucchini
1 cup green beans
1 cup of spinach
2 Tb finely chopped parsley
2 Tb turmeric powder
1 egg
Coconut Oil
Directions

1) Cook Quinoa or Brown Rice, using 1-tablespoon coconut oil and water.

2) Using a Food Processor, puree the spinach, zucchini, green beans with 1/2 cup of water until you get a nutritious green veggie mush. Set aside.

3) Using a large bowl, add the organic ground turkey along with 1 cup of cooked quinoa.

4) Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, along with 2 tablespoons turmeric powder for seasoning.

5) Crack an egg into bowl, and pour in your green veggie mash.

6) Begin mixing with a wooden spoon; use your hands to evenly combine all ingredients.

7) Cut a small sweet potato into cubes, and add to mixture.

8) Add 1/2 cup fresh washed cranberries, either into the mixture, or save for decoration on top.

9) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

10) Once mixture is combined, use coconut oil to coat a loaf pan, muffin tins, a bone shaped pan or whatever you'd like to use.

11) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, checking the inside to make sure it is cooked through.

12) Cool at room temperature for approx. 1 hour, then promptly refrigerate, freeze, or serve.

Thanks for those recipes. I could have used the pill pockets the last week. Had to give Cassie huge pills for a reaction to stitches. Took two pill pockets per pill. Those homemade ones I could have just wrapped and not had to stick two together.

you could probably leave out the sugar. I mix stuff like peanut butter, whole wheat flour, oats, beef broth, egg, until it resembles still dough, and then bake them. dogs don't miss the sugar!

Before I knew about some of the things that were toxic to dogs, mine ate them. Doxie was very fond of chocolate and would steal candy all the time. Blue and Venture ate the grapes when I was picking them one year. It was later that year or maybe the next year that I found out they can kill a dog. Gosh, by that point I had had dogs for over 40 years and hadn't ever heard they can't have grapes. I don't think they ever stole any of the grapes after that. Cassie likes the wild plums that fall and they are right there with the grapes, so she makes me nervous. I need something to fence off that area.

Sometimes I can't believe the stuff she'll eat! No matter when I chop or slice onions she's right there...and that's something dogs should NOT have. We have to guard our coffee cups too because she LOVES coffee! (also not good...and you don't want a pup hopped up on caffeine!) Her sister loves BEER! She doesn't get it, but she tries! I don't how they develop a "taste" for something they don't get...although I know for a fact that both Mollie and Darby have had a slurp or two before they were caught. She also wants to eat grapes...I don't know WHY she wants all the stuff she can't have. She's worse than a person. (Actually, we believe she thinks she IS a person...so funny!)

Mollie sounds like the Dachshund I had growing up. I don't think there was anything she didn't like. She stole the raspberries before we ever knew there were any on the bushes. She stole Dad's tomatoes just when they were ready to pick. She ate hot chili peppers and radishes. The two boys I had and their mother would eat just about any vegetable, too. Venture also stole my apple juice.

Now Cassie doesn't want any vegetables but sweet potato or pumpkin and potatoes. She is definitely carnivorous.

Mollie LOVES frozen or fresh green beans! She absolutely will not eat cooked green beans, though. My mom always keeps "Mollie Beans" in her freezer, and Mollie lets her know when she wants those beans. She's very vocal and makes really funny growly sounds in her throat while she sits by the freezer door. Some Red and Whites almost "talk" to you, and Mollie has that trait from her dam. Not all of her litter mates "talk", but Mollie and her sister Darby do!

She also loves carrots, raw sweet potatoes, broccoli, melon, strawberries, bananas, grapefruit, sweet peppers and apples. She needs to lose a few pounds, so she gets more veggie treats.

In addition to peanut butter (which causes instant drooling and begging as soon as she gets a whiff), she loves pumpkin. Canned or cooked pumpkin is really good for dogs and they usually love it. Just be sure not to give your pup pumpkin pie filling, it has to be plain canned or pureed pumpkin.

Hi, I am new to the group. We now have 2 boxers, a little white one with two small brindle spots and a brindle. Our senior that we rescued a year ago this last Nov. has crossed over the bridge, He was a fawn. Shiloh our white kid is our ring tailed tooter in the terrible two's with ADHD on the side and he is 5 1/2 yrs old. Our brindle is a nice little lady who is timid and she is 7 1/2 yrs old.

Our kids love to eat huckleberries right off the bush when we go out in the woods to pick. Once in a while Sophie still tries to get her head in your bucket! lol

Always looking for good recipes without grains.

Venture always loved carrots, to the point he sat and asked a lady who was a complete stranger to him for the ones she was cutting up for her horse. She told him he didn't like those but he got a couple from her. He was fear aggressive and normally would not have allowed the lady to get near him.

A really easy treat to make up is using 1 single serving container of lite vanilla greek yogurt ,mix in 1-1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter. Divide this mixture into 4 squares of ice cube tray or mini paper cupcake liners and freeze up. Our dog loves these and it is healthier for them versus the Frosty Paws found at the grocery store!

This is actually a recipe to put in with kibble. I got it from one of my spark friends.

Salmon loaf recipe -
large quantity. Makes at least three long tupperware containers. Freezes very well.
Dump all ingredients into the dishpan. I mix it with my hands. (yeah, ick)
Three cans canned salmon - undrained - (Three pounds of ground turkey can be substituted if desired)
a dozen eggs - put them in the blender, shell and all. Blend until shells are powdered
one cup of olive oil
One large box of quick oatmeal
two large cans of packed pumpkin
Molasses - about half a cup
Mix it all up - should be the consistency of meatloaf once chilled - slices well. IF too dry, add a little water. Too wet, add more oatmeal.
Pack it all into the flat tupperware containers - or whatever you have - and you are done.
Basically, ingredients can be anything. Just don't cook the meat because cooking changes the properties of the meat and makes it harder to digest.
I use the salmon loaf for dogs who are having a very bad time keeping weight or who are ill. Hardly any dog can turn down salmon.
slice or spoon out to serve - top with plain yogurt if extra probiotics are needed. Serving size is about twice the size of a deck of cards for a 25 pound cocker.
I'm use kefir rather than yogurt, make it myself and all dogs get that every day. Tastes like buttermilk but is better for the gut than yogurt.

My dog has liver problems and our vet recommended the following for his treats:

2 Cups Whole wheat Flour
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter
1 1/4 Cup Hot Water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the above ingredients together until well blended. Either roll out and cut or use a cookie scoop to place on biscuits on a cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 40 minutes.

For crunchy biscuits cool overnight in oven, for immediate use cool on wire rack. Depending on size of biscuits this will make about 28, I usually get about 35 out of my mix.

Isn't it funny how dogs LOVE peanut Butter and Sweet Potatoes. ( My dog loves carbs, no matter what form they are in.) As to pills, I figured it out for when she has to take them. Since she eats canned food, I take a little bit and roll it into a ball and stick the pill inside. While I can't see this working for a dog that has to take a pill everyday, it's good it you have to give your furry child medication every so often.

Thanks! Good idea!

I've been known to hide pills in microwaved carrot chunks. Grain-free pill pockets!

Our vet tech make his own sweet potato treats. It's pretty no-fail. YouTube has videos, but if you cut the potato in slices (any direction) peeled or not peeled, 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices & put in a very low oven for hours, you should be fine. I store in the fridge or freeze leftovers. The dogs don't think there should BE leftovers!

Too soft or even burned, they'll eat 'em! Around Thanksgiving sweet potatoes get very cheap. I try to dry enough to stash in the freezer for months. One year, I did 40 lbs.

We found another dog treat that Henley can handle. (he has allergies). It's called Healthy Select
Wheat-Free Treats with Pumpkin and Quinoa. No artificial colors or preservatives, and of course no wheat, corn or soy. Simple ingredients, so ya'll can probably bake some for your dog(s). Rye Flour, Ground Pumpkin (I would use pure pumpkin) Quinoa Seed, Canola Oil, Eggs, and Cane Molasses. (I would use reg. Molasses). Our dogs love these, and they are easy to break in half. The company that makes the treats is located in San Diego, Calif. Yeaaa, it's made in the USA!

p.s. We buy them at Petco

Darlene, experiment with different flours and let me know what you come up with!

One of mine has anal gland issues too...her poop is nice and firm which is what you want. I don't know if it helps with the glands problem though.

My last batch, I subbed 1/2 cup of coconut flour for the brown rice flour...I don't know what it would turn out like if I subbed more...I'll have to try it!

I'm pretty heavy-handed on the cinnamon. The girls love it and it makes the house smell soooooooo good when they're baking.

That sounds interesting to try. Does the flax seed meal do anything to the bowl movements or anything? I have been told that fiber will help with anal gland problems so something like this might be helpful with my girl who has problems. I also use pumpkin for her, but she has gotten to where she doesn't want it plain. So I think I may try these for her. Can any other flours work in place of the rice flour? I already have 4 gluten-free flours (of course one is the flax) to make gluten-free for me.

I make my dog's treats (I call them Super-Puppy Cookies) as I REALLY don't trust commercial dog treats.

This recipe is a HUGE hit with my girls and every other pup we've shared it with and it is HEALTHY! Grain-free. And the whole house smells sooooooo good while they're baking.

Pumpkin-Flaxseed Super Puppy Biscuits

1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 TBL (or more) cinnamon
2 TBL dried parsley flakes
½ cup Flax seed meal

Mix the above ingredients together until smooth, then gradually add up to 2 cups of brown rice flour until the dough can be rolled out and cut without being too sticky.

Roll about ½” thick and cut, put on pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; turn.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; turn.

Bake at 300 degrees for 15 min. then turn the oven off and let them stay in the oven for another half hour or so, til they are at your crunch-preference.

We got a recipe for Fish Fudge from the humane society where we are taking our little girl for puppy classes. I haven't tried it yet, but the trainer said it's like puppy crack!

Fish Fudge
1 (14oz) can of salmon - do not drain (2 (6oz) cans of tuna can be substituted)
1-1/2 cups flour
2 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Process fish and eggs in food processor or blender (or mix in bowl). Add flour and mix to a brownie-like consistency. Spread to a 1/4 inch thickness on a greased cookie sheet. Mixture will only cover 3/4 of the sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. When cool cut into small sized training treats. Portion into several baggies and freeze what won't be used right away.

I bought a box of Wet Nose pumpkin (shaped) bones and Oreo has already gone through half the box.

BTW, Wet Nose is a USA made dog treat, USDA organic. It's a bit pricy, but Amazon.com has the best price unless you have a Sam's Club or Costco that carries them, then you can get a 5# box for about $10.

I have stopped buying dog biscuits for my elderly Lab because of all the extra chemicals in them. I make peanut-butter ones for her and many of my neighbor dogs. The recipe is so easy and they smell heavenly.

Peanut-butter Dog "Cookies"

2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat
2 TBS of oil (I use Canola)
1/2 cup peanut-tbutter. (inexpensive works best for some reason)
1 cup of water

Mix the last 3 ingredients together and then add the flour, one cup at a time. I use my hands to mix it together well.
Roll out very thin so they are crispy, cut. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 min in 350 oven. Makes about 2 1/2 doz depending on your cookie cutter size. I usually get a lot more than that.

Then try to not sample one yourself because they smell so good.

with 5 gsd's (4 now, as of sat), I was so tired of all those store bought, preservative laden dog treats so I started making my own (which quickly turned into a business for me - lol!). ours love our beef n cheddar, and cinnabones the best. : )

going to make some more sweet potato chews today for our youngest pups. for those who make these chews, what have you found to be the best thickness/oven temp?

Here is a recipe for homemade dog treats I found on Facebook-

Here is a Pumpkin Recipe that is healthy for them Cleo’s Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons dry milk
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 1/2 cups brown rice flour *
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

In large bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin to smooth. Stir in dry milk, sea salt, and dried parsley (if using, optional). Add brown rice flour gradually, combining with spatula or hands to form a stiff, dry dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface (can use the brown rice flour) and if dough is still rough, briefly knead and press to combine.

Roll dough between 1/4 – 1/2″ – depending on your dog’s chew preferences, – and use biscuit or other shape cutter to punch shapes, gathering and re-rolling scraps as you go. Place shapes on cookie sheet, no greasing or paper necessary. If desired, press fork pattern on biscuits before baking, a quick up-and-down movement with fork, lightly pressing down halfway through dough. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully turn biscuits over, then bake additional 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on rack before feeding to dog.

* Brown rice flour gives the biscuits crunch and promotes better dog digestion. Many dogs have touchy stomachs or allergies, and do not, like many people I know, tolerate wheat.

Makes up to 75 small (1″) biscuits or 50 medium biscuits

The only kind of treats I have ever made were from liver that I had to blend to a liquid (not easy because that is stringy stuff) and then spread on a baking sheet and bake to firm. I don't remember what was in it, but it didn't have any flour, just some seasoning like maybe a little garlic (not a lot since too much is bad).

I have a book and was looking at it one day and for the first several recipes it calls for onions. I would NEVER use them now that I know that onions in any form are toxic to dogs. I haven't tried the recipes in there, but it does have others without those ingredients.

Fancy thanks for the info I will come up with something else then. Maybe almond and coconut and teff flour mixed in with the regular blend of gluten free flour. Do you think it would work? Lucinda

I don't know if it is allergies or what, but I have noticed that most dog foods will say they have "No Soy" in recent years. I think that most dogs are sensitive to it or something.

Do you think using part soy flour would work with other gluten free flour? I want to make the peanutbutter oatmeal ones. Lucinda

I found the gluten free flour works well for biscuits and I have also used garbanzo bean flour for my dog biscuits, more protein and it works well with the oatmeal and peanut butter ones.

I got one of those electric doggie biscuit makers for Christmas! I've made my dogs chicken flavor biscuits, beef flavor biscuits and peanut butter biscuits with a yogurt icing

They really like them!

Build PBJ sandwich, place on plate. Walk in living room, set plate on coffee table. Turn your head for three seconds. Voila!! Instant doggie treat!!

Dos love carrots, dogs love peanut butter,. Spread peanut butter on a carrot, place in freezer just long enough for peanut butter to get slightly hard so it won't slide off. Use as a doggie wand to get her/him to do what you want, they will follow you anywhere!!
Added bonus is he entertainment you get when the roof of their mouth gets filled with the butter! Fun times!

Can't wait to try this for my pugs.

I do a lot of training for the conformation ring and I make my dogs jerky for bait slicing beef liver fairly thin and putting it in my dehydrator overnight. I store it in the freezer and take out enough for each training session. I tried it with beef tongue, but it's very tough! The dogs like it but its too tough for bait in the ring.

I am new (again) to spark people so new to dog lovers page. I actually prefer dogs to people, that's why I have a dog boarding business.
I love having all these recipes. I can't wait to try them
Also, any tips for treating ear infections????

Our dogs love yams so I make fries in the oven only I let them cook longer on a low temperature in the oven until they are slightly chewy. So good for them.

cindy, break the dog biscuits in half and just stick the skinny end in the kong, that way they don't get stuck as much alec

Thanks Alec! I have used some small biscuits but they wedged in there and he never got them out. Maybe as he gets older he will figure it out!

cindytw, trooper loves his Kong and has even learned how to throw it into the air to get his treats to fall out. we use home made chicken jerky, puparoni, and dog biskets to stuff in the kong. alec

Will try that. Maybe İ can just chop it up without pureeing it...

My dogs love frozen pumpkin ice cubes!! I just freeze pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray and they make great, healthy treats that are good for their digestive systems :)

İce lollies! İ feed my dogs on guts and lung from the butcher. İ cut up small pieces and freeze them. They make very acceptable treats when we go for walks.

Any good ideas for Kong Toy stuffing? Besides peanut butter and the like?

Those recipes sound great! I think my dog would like the tuna one. Does anyone know from a vet what really are OK to give to dogs? I am sure that these homemade treats can be healthier and cheaper.

Niki, thank you for that info. Venture can't have too much of any grain, so if he was getting much I guess the potato flour would be goood for him. He can have a little grain (has even been enjoying a little bread once in a while -- a splurge), but very much and he is in trouble. His brother was worse.

For anyone with dogs that have wheat intolerance, potato flour, rice flour and seed flours are good substitutes in these recipes :)

LOL! Some of these dog treats look good enough for people to eat! LOL!
