Healthy Organic Dog Treats You Can Make Yourself

Here's a great recipe I found at http://www.threelittlepitties.com/  Its gluten free, and if you use organic vegetables and ingredients, all the better.  I always add fresh parsley to my treats....

Gluten Free Dog Biscuit Recipe


- 1 Lb ground meat ( lamb, beef, chicken, turkey ) Lamb and beef tend to be higher in fat. Chicken and turkey might be a better choice for an overweight dog.
- 1 large sweet potato ( cooked and mashed )
- 1 large free range egg
- one large clove pressed
- 5 tbsp. large flake rolled oats ( organic ) or 4 tbsp. ground flax seed meal


Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mixing up very well.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. ( very slightly )
Dump ingredients on cookie sheet and spread evenly and flatly to the sides of pan. This should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.

Remove pan from oven and use your cookie cutter at this time, if you want. If you don't have a cookie cutter, just score the 'cookie dough 'with a knife or pizza cutter, into squares.

Put back into the oven and bake for another hour at 250 degrees.

This will dry these healthy dog treats out. Keep an eye on your oven. The time could be more or less, depending on how hot your oven runs.

These dog treats should be fairly dry and a little crispy, but not burned.

*Helpful hint*

This dog treat recipe is inexpensive, easy...and very tasty.


Here's what they look like...




Remember, you can always just give your dog some cut up pieces of raw vegetables or a few pieces of fruit...broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, apple. These are great healthy dog treat choices, and they are real food.
