Homemade Dog Treat Recipes
Making treats for your own dog is easier than it sounds, and it's one of the most satisfying things you can do as a pet parent. Most homemade treats take about 10 minutes, use a few simple ingredients from your kitchen, and you know exactly what your dog is eating, because you made it. Then you get to watch their face when you hand one over.

By occasion and ingredient
Common questions
What ingredients should never go in homemade dog treats?
Commonly avoided ingredients include chocolate, xylitol (sometimes in peanut butter), grapes and raisins, onion, garlic, macadamia nuts, avocado and artificial sweeteners. Always check peanut butter labels for xylitol.
How long do homemade dog treats last?
Baked treats keep about a week at room temperature, up to two weeks in the fridge, or two to three months in the freezer. Frozen treats keep for up to two months in a sealed bag.
How many treats can my dog have a day?
A common guideline is to keep treats to about 10% of your dog's daily calories, so portions depend on your dog's size.
