10 Healthy Homemade Dog Treats Recipes
Depending on the size of your dog, you may need to make these larger or smaller to allow them to eat them easily. Some of them can be made by rolling them into a ball. Others will need to be rolled out and cut with a cookie cutter. Choose the ones that look easiest for you to create.

These homemade dog treats recipes all sound amazing to me, and I know that your dogs will enjoy them. If you’re transitioning from a traditional store-bought dog treat, start by making a small batch to be sure that your dog will eat them. Once you know the types of ingredients they enjoy, you’ll be able to make larger batches. Check to see how long they will store and don’t make more than you will use up before they go bad. Experiment with freezing some of the dough when possible.
If you’re looking for a dog treat recipe that’s frozen, why not try these homemade yogurt dog treats. They have just three simple ingredients!

They definitely do!
These look like cute pet treats. I have even seen a cookie cutter shaped like a dog bone.
That would definitely work!
I love the variety of flavors on your list of recipes 🙂 I know my dogs would love the PB and bacon dog treats. I also have a few dogs who love sweet treats so the frosty watermelon and blueberry yogurt treats would be a hit too. Thanks!
Glad to help, Shelley!
Great list! I’ll have to try some of these recipes for our two pups. Thanks! 🙂
Hope they enjoy them!
I need to try to make some treats for Roxi. The store bought ones are so expensive and who knows what is really in them! I pinned this for later on. I think I am going to have to make a board on my Pinterest for dog recipes! Hopefully Roxi likes them.
I hope she does!
