Making Homemade Dog Treats
Making homemade dog treats is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to bring fresh, wholesome ingredients into your dog’s diet. It allows you to control exactly what goes into every bite — from the quality of the proteins and grains to the herbs, fruits and functional ingredients you choose to include. Whether you are baking crunchy biscuits, frozen snacks, training treats or soft bites for senior dogs, homemade treats can be tailored to your dog’s individual tastes.
Most people begin making treats at home because they want a more natural alternative to commercial dog treats. The beauty of homemade dog treats is that they do not need to be complicated. With a few basic ingredients and a little creativity, making homemade dog treats is simplicity itself!
Find a recipe
The first thing you need to do for making homemade dog treats is to find a recipe. No problem. There are plenty of recipes for dog treats available on the internet. Tens of thousands of them in fact. But how do you know which are safe for your dog and which could be harmful?
How many of these have been approved by a canine nutritionist? How do you know which of the many dog treat recipes out there are healthy for your dog as well as tasting nice?
Rewarding your dog is all very well, but wouldn’t it be better if you could reward your dog with healthy dog treats instead of mass-produced commercial dog treats laced with additives and preservatives?

Source the ingredients
Once you’ve selected a recipe you’re happy with, then you’ve got to source the ingredients. While your dog can eat many of the same foodstuffs that you can eat, there are certain things that will be better for your dog than others.
Take flour for example. You could simply give your dog normal wheat flour. But then there are other types of flour on the market that would be much better for your dog than highly processed wheat flour. Buckwheat flour for example, or coconut flour. Almond flour or tapioca flour.
But then these are more expensive than the normal flour you’ll find on your supermarket shelf.
And even if you can find buckwheat flour online, who wants to buy a kilo of buckwheat flour when you might only need the occasional few grams and the rest will go to waste?
It’s the same with spirulina and kelp, pumpkin seeds and gotu kola. Yes, you can find them online. But quality products are expensive, especially if you don’t use them all the time.
The answer to these problems? A dog treat baking mix!
