Dog biscuits are one of the easiest things to make.

All it takes - Dog Biscuit Recipes

a few common ingredients you probably already have in your cupboards and little creativity. In only a few minutes, you can have an inexpensive, healthy treat your dog will love.

Commercial dog treats supply your dog with a steady diet of preservatives, animal byproducts and potentially harmful substances. Making your own dog treats gives you control over the quantity and quality of the ingredients. You can also tailor the treats to your dog’s tastes and health issues.

Homemade dog biscuit recipes include three main ingredients: flour, water and eggs. Meat, vegetables, grains, spices and fruits are added for flavor and health benefits. Avoid adding sweeteners, grapes and raisins, chocolate, onions, salt, walnuts and macadamia nuts. These ingredients are not good for your dog and may make them sick. Milk and cheese can also be added, but watch for allergic reactions. Substitute soy products in dog biscuit recipes if the dog has an adverse reaction to the milk or cheese. Also, use cooked liver in limited amounts. It can cause vitamin A toxicity in dogs if fed too often. Before trying new ingredients, do a taste test with your dog to ensure they like it and have no adverse reactions.

Start out with easy dog biscuit recipes that have limited ingredients and preparation, like the one below. Mix the ingredients together, and then roll out on a hard surface. You can use seasonal cookie cutters, the rim of a glass, or a special dog biscuit cutter to cut out the shape for your biscuits. Take into consideration the size of your dog and the chunkiness of the dough. To cut chunky dough, use very simple shapes such as circles or hearts.

If you want a challenge, you can try some of the more complex recipes or decorate the biscuits with dog friendly frosting. Raised dog biscuits, using yeast, are another favorite type of dog biscuit recipe that presents a challenge. They require a little more time to make because the dough must be knitted  and allowed to rise, but the pleasure your dog will get from having a variety of treats will be worth the effort.

Don’t be surprised if you become addicted to creating new and exciting treats to feed your best friend. If you get too carried away and make more dog biscuits than your pooch can eat, you can donate them to your local animal shelter or give them as gifts.
