I’m on a mission to make Homemade Dog Treats! Do it yourself dog treats are a fun and homemade way to a dog’s heart. Dogs love them!

Not only are homemade dog treats healthier, cheaper, and fun to make. There are hundreds of ways to make treats.

With all the pet food recalls and even the dog treat recalls, I’ve become hesitant to buy store-bought dog treats.

So for the next year, I’ve focused on making sure my dogs are receiving the healthiest choices for their treats. Plus, it’s fun and so easy!

In my search for healthy dog, I found a lot of recipes use baby food! I knew I had to make the most of this and give it a shot.

What kind of baby food can I give my dog?

Baby food is a great option for adding some extra flavor in dog treats! My dogs love them. In today’s recipe, I’ll be using Blueberry and Oatmeal.

Using baby food is so much easier than having to puree your own vegetables.

If you stop by the baby food aisle in the grocery store, you’ll see all the lovely mixed flavors. Just be sure to double check that they aren’t some fruits toxic to dogs.

Your dogs will love trying all the new flavors of your homemade dog treats.

Can I mix baby food with dog food?

Yes, you can definitely mix baby food with your dog’s kibble or homemade dog food.

Want to add a little flavor to your dog’s food add a small packet of baby food as a topper.

You can even hide a small pill in a bit of baby food or use it to make Pill Pockets for dogs.

While this receipe calls for whole wheat flour, you can substitue regular flour. It will definitely work.

We typically use whole wheat flour in our rececipes because it has a little more nutritional value for our dogs. However, the recipe will turn out just fine using regular flour.

Tips and Tricks for Apple Blueberry Dog Treats

• 

1. This dough consistency may feel like a little denser than a normal human cookie recipe.
2. If you feel your dough is too loose, add more oats.
3. Use parchment paper to roll out the dough.
4. Only use Dog Safe Peanut Butter. I always look for the kind that only includes Peanuts as the ingredient.
5. Cut out your cookies with any cookie cutter. You'll love the bone cookie cutters, they are so cute!
