Make your own dog cookies

Mar 13, 2025 | Dogs, General, Recipes

Baking cakes and tarts isn’t exactly my passion. But making dog cookies yourself is a joy. Even if the result doesn’t exactly win any beauty prizes, dogs are loyal and grateful customers. Today’s recipe uses bananas (preferably ripe), carrots, oatmeal, spelt flour, and peanut oil. Pumpkin or olive oil can also be used. Sunflower oil is generally not recommended. To do something good for your dog, you should definitely pay attention to the quality of the oil. The complete recipe is available for free download as a PDF at the bottom of the page.

Dog biscuits with banana and carrot

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 Carrots
    Carrots aren’t just incredibly healthy for dogs; they’re loved by almost every four-legged friend. They have a positive effect on the dog’s digestive tract, and even sensitive animals tolerate them well. The pectins contained in carrots act as a protective layer in the stomach and intestines. They have an antibacterial effect and can even help with diarrhea. 
  • 1 Banana
    Bananas are very healthy for dogs. Their nutrients are particularly well absorbed by your four-legged friend when the fruit is pureed for dog cookies. Bananas have anti-inflammatory properties and are therefore good for the stomach lining. They provide plenty of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. The B vitamins, phosphorus, selenium, potassium, and magnesium are particularly noteworthy, as are their pantothenic and folic acid content. The fruit provides quick energy but is best fed overripe. 
  • 200 g Wholemeal spelt flour
    Spelt is highly recommended for dogs and other animals because of its digestibility. Due to its resistance to pesticides, it can be grown almost entirely without insecticides and pesticides, thus containing far fewer environmental toxins. It is rich in vegetable protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamins B and E.

  • 100 g Oatmeal
    Oats contain more easily digestible protein than any other grain. With approximately 80% unsaturated fatty acids, oat flakes contain a high fat content.

  • 50 ml Sesame oil
    Sesame oil is a real insider tip for dog cookies. It’s plant-based, making it particularly well-tolerated and having a positive effect on blood lipid levels. However, its omega-6 content is quite high, so use it sparingly, as with dog treats. As with all oils, always make sure they are cold-pressed and unrefined. Of course, an organic product is much better suited to supplementing food. Proper storage of oils is also important. To protect all ingredients, the oil should be kept in a dark bottle and refrigerated.

Preparation:

  1. Mash the banana with a fork.
  2. Finely grate the two carrots.
  3. Mix all ingredients until smooth.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1 cm.
  5. Either cut out small shapes using cookie cutters or cut the dough into 1 cm squares.
  6. Place the dough pieces on the baking sheet and bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes.

Important:  Be sure to let it dry for a long time and store it in an air-permeable container.

Dog biscuits with apple and chia

Feb 27, 2024 | Dogs, General, Recipes

When you make homemade cookies for your dog, you always know exactly what is in them. You can respond very well to your pet’s needs, for example allergies, and pay attention to organic quality. Today I came up with a fruity, fresh recipe for a treat. The dog biscuits with apple and chia will delight your four-legged friend and with these healthy ingredients, your four-legged friend will also get a good portion of omega 3 fatty acids.

Dogs are always particularly happy about dog biscuits with chia and apple because they are healthy and taste delicious.

Ingredients for the dog biscuits with apple and chia:

  • 50 g fine oat flakes
    The three main food sources for dogs are protein in plant and animal form, fat and carbohydrates. Oat flakes contain vegetable protein, a high number of unsaturated fatty acids and lots of fiber and carbohydrates. Oatmeal is an excellent source for your four-legged friend, especially when energy is needed quickly. In addition to vitamins and minerals, oatmeal also contains mucilage that has a calming effect on the intestinal wall. The fine flakes are easier to digest than the coarse flakes and should also soak for some time before eating.
  • 200 g of cottage cheese
    Cottage cheese is a high-quality source of protein with high levels of vitamin D, magnesium and calcium. It is easy to digest and the muscles are continuously supplied with all essential amino acids. Also with serotonin, which is responsible for well-being. The lactic acid bacteria contained nourish and regenerate the dog’s intestinal flora. It has been scientifically proven that cottage cheese neutralizes tooth decay bacteria.
  • 2 organic eggs
    Like humans, dogs benefit from the healthy nutrients in eggs. It contains enough essential fats and amino acids for a good metabolism. They are also rich in many vitamins and good proteins. The fatty acids ensure a great shine in the fur of your four-legged friend. The cholesterol and lecithin contained in the yolk support cell formation. Since the eggs in our biscuit are sufficiently heated, no salmonella is transmitted.
  • 50g chia
    Chia seeds are not only healthy for humans, but also for our four-legged friends. The dog biscuits with apple and chia contain antioxidants, proteins, fiber, vitamins and minerals that have a positive effect on the four-legged friend’s immune system and metabolism. It is important that the chia seeds soak for at least two hours before processing.
  • 2 apples
    “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away” also applies to dogs. The apple is a healthy and nutrient-rich addition to the daily food ration. The secondary plant substances, vitamins and pectin it contains have a positive effect on health.

 

Preparation of the dog biscuits with apple and chia:

  1. Remove the core of the apples and then grate them finely. I leave the bowls on, but everyone can do it however they want.
  2. Then knead all the ingredients into a dough.
    Wait at least 2 hours until the chia has swollen properly.
  3. Then use a teaspoon to scoop out small piles and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  4. Bake at 175°C for approx. 20 minutes

Important: The dog biscuits with chia and apple must dry particularly well. Be sure to store it in an air-permeable container or bag.

Use these few healthy ingredients to bake your dog’s favorite cookies.
