Here’s a super easy recipe to make your own dog treat.

  • 1/2 cup water

22. DIY Homemade grain free dog treats

Here’s a Sweet Potato dog treat from thehealthymaven.com.

First of all, preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Grease two baking trays with coconut oil. In a large bowl, combine almond meal, coconut flour and poultry seasoning. Add in the sweet potato and 1/4 cup of liquid and stir until well-combined. Add in more liquid if needed. Then, divide dough into two parts and roll out each part using your hands. The dough should be 1/4 inch thick. Mold or cut the dough into shapes.

Place pieces on cookie sheets. Bake for 25 minutes, then swap the trays and bake for another 25 minutes. Turn oven off and let cookies cool in closed oven. Remove from oven and let cool completely on tray for at least 1 hour. Store in mason jars for up to one week.

Peanut Butter Treats recipe originally from prettyfluffy.com. My dogs just love these and they are so easy to make. 

First, mix the peanut butter and yogurt. Then, roll in the oats and form balls. 

Place balls on a wax papered cookie sheet. Put the sheet into the refrigerator to chill for an hour. These make about 30 balls that can last up to a week in the fridge. 

Safe Dog Trick or Treating
