These homemade dog biscuits have protein, fiber and healthy fats for your furry best friend. They are a breeze to make and pups love them!
Have you ever looked at what is in store-bought dog treats? Typically junk. Unless you buy the expensive ones. However, the problem with those is that they are, well, expensive. So, I decided to try my hand at making our sweet and beloved Max homemade dog biscuits.
Baking rustic treats (sourdough, skillet apple crisps, chocolate chip cookies, etc.) has always been my favorite way to bake. No fuss and I’ve find beauty in simplicity. Therefore, trying my hand at dog treats wasn’t too far of a stretch for me.
Also, our dog, Max, doesn’t seem particularly picky about what he eats most of the time, so I knew whatever I concocted would most likely be a crowd pleaser.
Additionally, I knew if I was in charge of the ingredient list, I could A.) use quality ingredients and B.) utilize already-owned pantry staples.
Side note: I get asked often what type of dog Max is. He is an Australian Labradoodle and the most laidback dog ever. We just love him. I mean…look at these puppy photos?! It was love at first sight.
When I say these treats are easy, I mean it! It is a simple dough and my kiddos help me throw it together often. We very the shape of the treats often too! Sometimes we go with bone cookie cutters like these. Other times we use ones shaped like some of the kids’ other favorite dog breeds like these or these.
If you own or know a special pup, give these homemade dog biscuits a try today!
Happy Baking,
