Hey all,

Today I want to share this excellent dog biscuit recipe from YouTube, this is a recipe for peanut butter dog biscuits and although I haven’t tried it myself it does look very tasty(for the dog not for me).

If you are going to try this dog biscuit recipe then I would appreciate if you could share your experience with us VIA comment.

Thanks

Ingredients:
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter (make sure it’s organic)
1 cup oats (do not use the instant kind)
2 cups flour (wheat or rice)
1 cup water

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F or 177 degrees C. Sift the flour to get rid of lumps, then line your tray with a cookie sheet. This will prevent your dough from sticking to the tray.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, peanut butter and water. With a mixer or a spatula, mix up all the ingredients until you’re able to form a dough. If your dough is runny or too wet, you might need to add a few tablespoons of flour. Knead the dough thoroughly so it cooks evenly.
• Flour a flat surface or a counter and roll out the dough into a quarter inch thickness. With a cookie cutter, cut out fun shapes from the rolled out dough, or cut up squares using a knife.
• Place your cut pieces on the tray, making sure they are an inch apart from each other. Bake it in the oven for 30 minutes then flip them over and cook for another 10 minutes to allow even cooking. Once done, take them out of the oven and allow to cool before serving them to your dog, or storing them in a cool dry place.
• These peanut butter treats will last up to a week in a dog treats jar, a month in the refrigerator and three months in the freezer.

Just a few reminders:

No need to add more peanuts. Although generally safe, peanuts should be given in moderation to dogs.

Never add chocolate, raisins or grapes! These are poisonous for your dog!

Have fun and enjoy!

So, instead of buying these treats, why not make them yourself? That way, you know they are perfectly safe for your dog, without the preservatives. You will also be able to save a lot of money since most dog treats tend to be overpriced. Surprisingly, this dog treat recipe is very easy to make. But be warned, they require patience as drying is a slow process. Don’t worry, you do not need to own a dehydrator. This chicken dog treat recipe requires only an oven, a very sharp knife, and patience. This is great to make when you’re stuck at home or on a weekend.

Ingredients:
Boneless Chicken breast

Directions:

• Preheat the oven at 140-160 degrees F or 60 to 70 degrees C. If your oven cannot go below 200 (Like mine, my oven is only until 80 degrees C), do not let the oven door to close. This would help lower the temperature in your oven. Above this temperature might scorch the chicken. Remember, the optimum dehydrating temperature is 120 to 140 degrees F.
• Cut your chicken breast into strips around 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Cut along the fibers of your chicken so it gets chewier for your dog.
• Lightly grease your drying trays or wire cooling racks so the chicken does not stick. You can also use a nylon netting or cheesecloth so you can remove the dehydrated jerky with ease. Do not use a cookie sheets.
• Place the tray into the oven and cook for 2 to 4 hours, turning them over every 45 minutes to ensure even dehydration. Once cooked, removed from the oven and allow to cool before serving to your dog or storing. If you want to cut your chicken jerky, use kitchen scissors. They are easier to use compared to using a knife.

Since this chicken dog treat recipe does not require any preservatives (aside from dehydrating) it is best to store them in a dry, cool place. They will last one to two weeks inside a dog treat jar and longer if kept in the refrigerator.

2 pieces of Bananas

1/2 cup of water

Directions:

• On a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and without lumps, add the mashed bananas. Gradually add the flour mixing them up in between. Mix in the oats gradually into the mixture, and mix them up well.
• With a spoon, drop a dough mixture into the lined pan, leaving an inch between the treats. If you have a small dog, you can use a teaspoon instead to make small bite size pieces.
• Cook this in the oven for 15 minutes. Once done, take out the pan and allow the treats to cool before storing or giving them to your dog.
• This recipe will yield around 60 (2 inch size) pieces of treats. Remember, these treats will last for a week in regular dog treat jars, a month in the fridge and three months in the freezer.

Just some notes:
Eggs are best to whisk if they are on room temperature. They form less lumps compared with chilled eggs.

Never mix in the dry ingredients all in one go. This would cause your mixture to cause lumps, and would make treats treats cook unevenly

Don’t substitute milk for the water in this recipe. Dogs do not have the right enzymes to digest cow’s milk.

Never add chocolate in the recipe. Chocolates are poisonous to dogs.

After researching how to make dog treats, as well as experimenting with different recipes, I have finally found the perfect pumpkin dog treat recipe which our dogs love the most. The pumpkin dog treats are now a staple in our house.

What you need:

1 cup pumpkin, preferrably the fresh one. (you can use canned, so long as they’re not spiced, salted nor sugared)
2 medium sized eggs
2 1/2 cup flour (whole wheat flour or rice flour)
1/4 cup water
1/4 salt(not mandatory)

Preparations:
Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F or 177 degrees C. Puree the pumpkin, and sift the flour and the salt. Line your tray with cookie sheets, so there is no need to grease your cookie pan.

Directions:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and pureed pumpkin until smooth. Add the sifted flour and salt gradually into the mixture, and mix with a spoon or spatula until there is no lump. You will end up with a stiff dry dough. If you dough is too stiff, knead it some more.
• Flour a flat surface/counter and roll out your dough for about half to a quarter of an inch, depending on your dog’s size. Use a cookie cutter to give your treats a shape, or cut them in a square inches.
• Bake the cookies in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they are firm and light brown on top. Remove your tray from the oven and carefully turn the cookies over and bake them for another 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure they don’t get too brown.
• Finally remove them again from the oven and allow to cool completely before you give them to your dogs or storing them in jars with air tight lids.
• This recipe may yield 75 small (1 inch) to 50 medium pieces of dog treats. They last a week in regular dog treat jar, a month or two in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.

Just a few notes:

Never dump the flour into the mixture all in one go. This would cause lumps in your dough, and would just give you a hard time.

Never substitute milk for water. Dogs do not have the right enzymes for digesting cow’s milk, and milk would only give most dogs a stomach ache.

Avoid adding spice. That includes vanilla, cinnamon, garlic etc. Most spices are bad for your dog.

Never add chocolate or nuts to the cookie dough. They are poisonous for your dog!

2 tbsp flax seed

• Sprinkle flour on a kitchen surface and roll out the dough to a preferred thickness. Different patterns of biscuit cutters can be used to cut the dough into 2 or 2 1/2 dozen medium sized pieces. This will bring out different shapes and sizes of the biscuits. A knife can be used too in shaping the dough in sizeable patterns.
• Grease a biscuit sheet and place the pieces on it and put in the pre heated oven. The biscuits should bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes until light or golden brown.
• Once they are cooked, the oven can be switched off, allowing the apple dog biscuits to harden thoroughly over night.
• To keep them fresh and crunchy, once they are removed from the oven, put them in an air tight reseal able plastic paper or a container with tight lid.

Providing such a healthy meal of apple dog biscuits will keep the dog away from diseases and be a happy guardian to every person’s life.

Two benefits of baking your own dog biscuits are:
