Dogs are our faithful companions, and one way of showing them our appreciation is by spoiling them with delicious treats. If you’re looking for a way to express your affection to your furry friend, making your own dog biscuits is a great way to show you care. DIY dog biscuits are both fun and easy to make, allow you to tailor them to your pup’s own unique tastes, and are sure to put a smile on your pooch’s face.
1. Crafting Custom Treats at Home: DIY Dog Biscuits
Make Dog Treats from Scratch
With the right combination of ingredients, you can give your pup a delicious treat without an expensive trip to the pet store. Here are the essential steps for creating custom treats at home.
Gather the Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups of whole wheat flour
- ½ cup of peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup of bacon broth
Don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients! All the items on the list can be sourced from your local grocery store. Find a peanut butter that contains no sugar or other sweeteners, and always check the ingredient list to make sure there’s no xylitol.
Mix the Ingredients Together:
In a large bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. Once that’s done, add in the wet ingredients and hand mix it all together. It may be easier to use your hands and work the peanut butter into the wet ingredients.
Roll the Dough and Get Creative:
Now the fun part: rolling out the dough. Dust a clean surface with extra flour and roll the dough out into a flat sheet. Grab some cookie cutters if you have them, otherwise use a cup and shape the dough into small circles.
Bake Until Perfect:
Arrange the treats on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and pull them out when they reach a golden brown colour. Let them cool and pack ’em in an air-tight container.
2. Making Memories with Your Companion: Crafting Customized Dog Biscuits
Spend quality time with your companion. Crafting customized treats for your pooch is a great way to bond and create lasting memories. The best part is that it’s not difficult nor does it require much of your time. All you need is a few basic ingredients.
- 2 cups of barley flour
- 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 1 egg
Once you have all the necessary ingredients, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the barley flour, oregano, and melted coconut oil. Once the ingredients have blended, make a well in the center and add the egg. Knead the dough until it forms a ball and roll it out.
Be creative in designing your customized dog biscuits. Pet owners can get creative in designing their dog biscuits. Use cookie cutters to make them in various shapes, from bones, pumpkins to stars. Or, be creative and get freehand.
Once you’re happy with the shape, use a skewer to create holes for easy hanging when you’re taking them out of the oven. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Treat your furry friend with love. When the treats are done baking, allow them to cool before giving them to your k9 companion. After adding a special message to the cookies, give it to your furry friend. Enjoy the special moment spent together with your k9 friend over treats that you have made with love.

4. Creating Your Very Own Sweet Treats: Making Dog Biscuits from Scratch
Homemade dog biscuits can be just as tasty and healthy as store-bought treats, plus they’re also fun to make! Here’s how to get started:
- Gather all the ingredients:
Flour: At least 3 cups of whole wheat flour are generally used for a single batch of dog biscuits. You can also use quick-cooking oats if desired.
Egg: At least one large egg is necessary to give the dough some stickiness and help bind the ingredients together.
Oil/fat: Some type of fat needs to be added in order to give the biscuits some flavor. You can use vegetable oil or melted butter/margarine.
Water: The amount of water you use will depend on the other ingredients and how thick you want your dough to be. Start with a few tablespoons and add more if needed.
Flavorings: You can add some extra flavor by mixing in garlic powder, dried herbs or cheese. You can also substitute some of the flour with crushed cereal or animal crackers.
- Mix the ingredients together:
Using either a stand mixer, a food processor or just a mixing spoon, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until you have a thick, stiff dough. It may be necessary to add some more water or flour until the desired consistency is reached.
- Roll out and cut the dough:
Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use a biscuit cutter, a rolling pizza cutter or even a drinking glass with a floured edge to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the shapes on an ungreased baking sheet. You may re-roll the scraps and repeat the process.
- Bake the biscuits:
Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The biscuits should be lightly browned. Once they are done baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
Your pup doesn’t have to miss out on the customized fun – making homemade dog biscuits can be quick and easy. Spend some quality time baking up some extra special treats that your four-legged friend will enjoy. Get creative and let the tails wag!
