Veterinary-recommended homemade dog treat recipes | Dr. Justine Lee

Posted by justinelee in Blog, Fun Stuff

Looking to bake some homemade dog treats this holiday? Check out this great recipe below found from CocoBear PetCare!

2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Instructions:
~Mix the oats, cinnamon and flour together   in a bowl first
~Microwave peanut butter, water and chicken broth in a different bowl until soft, then mix together into a slurry
~Slowly stir in the flour/cinnamon/oat mix
~Knead the dough until mixed well
~Roll into 1/2 inch sheets and cut into desired shapes (such as dog bones or paw prints)
~Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees
~Turn off oven and leave in for additional 15-20 minutes (this step ensures the treats will be dehydrated and allow for longer storage)
~Allow treats to cool
~Best stored in refrigerator or a non-airtight container as airtight containers may cause moisture build up and mold
Enjoy and feed in moderation!

    I made these for my dog today and she doesn’t just like them, she LOVES them! She chased me around for the first one, then when I tried to let the rest cool on the table she kept trying sneak over and get them. She went crazy for them! The only suggestion I have is a little less cinnamon, mainly because the smell was so strong, but also figured they might be a little too powerful for my pup. Anyway, thanks again and definitely will be making these again! My recipe book now includes dog treats!

      Yeah!! That’s so awesome – when in doubt, homemade ones are the safest! 🙂

    hi my name is Dani and my dogs love your home made recipes. I was going send some to my mum for her dogs. there is one thing stopping me from doing this. how long do i suggest to her keep them for. would they last longer if i dehydrated the dog treats

      I’m not sure they’ll taste as good dehydrated – as they’ll be super dry! I would treat them likely a normal cookie that you would eat – so would likely go stale after 1-2 weeks. You can likely freeze them, however!

    I made these treats for my 3 girls. I have two red ACD’s and one blue ACD that are spoiled rotten. Recently, I noticed we were spending a fortune on commercial dog treats and I was worried maybe they aren’t very good for them. We have a very strict routine since they have many jobs during the day with Mommy! We usually never miss the night time “playing ball” that will silence them into dream land so I may rest. They sure are active and I keep them busy running around and barking at the neighbors cows which I refer to them as “moo cows”. They are very happy and the best pets I’ve ever had. I wanted to make sure I could make them a safer and healthier treat that wouldn’t break our bank. They knew I was cooking them something new tonight and they went crazy over the smell so I knew they would love them! Thanks for the recipe – and ‘Haley Bug’ – ‘Gracie Boo’ and ‘Bindi Blue’ thank you too!!

    I’m not a dog owner, but I would like to surprise a friend who is with these treats. I’ve seen many recipes that include peanut butter, but none of them says “all-natural” or “no sugar”. Is any kind of peanut butter safe, or is there one that is best? I’d imagine that sugar wouldn’t be good for dogs, but, as I say, I’m not an owner. Thanks, and props to all of you who rescue!

      Thank you for doing this! Just stick with a major brand with no XYLITOL. The small amount of true sugar isn’t a big deal – so any big brand is totally fine!

    Hi, can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

      As long as neither has xylitol in it and has a similar fat consistency to peanut butter!

    Made these for the first time and my dogs loved them. I never would have thought about putting the peanut butter, water and broth in the microwave, it made it easier to mic.

    Do you have any dog food recipes??
