Three-Ingredient Homemade Dog Treats

If you’re a pet parent on the go – and who am I kidding, aren’t we all? – finding the time to whip up a batch of goodies for your pup can be difficult. Homemade dog treats are essential for pets with food allergies or dietary restrictions, as every ingredient can be trusted and tracked.

Just because you’re a busy bee doesn’t mean you can’t treat your pet like the royalty they are; these homemade dog treats all have three ingredients, most of which you already have in your pantry. Try your hand one of these easy dog treat recipes and soon your pup will be begging for more!

PB&B BonBon Bites for Dogs

Perfect for the dog days of summer, these homemade dog treats pack a protein punch! As bloggers 17 Apart note, “The key to these treats is in the layering a freezing.” Use plain yogurt – Greek is okay, too – and blend with bananas, pouring the first layer in a freezable mold/tray. Let set for 10 minutes, then add another layer: this time it’s peanut butter, pups’ favorite. (Be sure to pick one that’s xylitol-free!) After freezing for 10 minutes, apply one last layer of yogurt mixture and top with a slice of banana. Give your healthy, homemade dog treats four hours to fully freeze, then serve!

Vegan, Grain-Free Dog Treat Recipe

Whether your pet has a food allergy to wheat, dairy or certain types of meat, it can be difficult to find delicious, pup-approved goodies. Homemade dog treats are a surefire way to confirm what’s going into your pet. Feel free to customize treats to your liking, such as this easy dog treat recipe from Good Dogs & Co! Quinoa flour is a tasty, nutritious replacement for dogs with gluten intolerance, while sweet potatoes – one of many superfoods safe for pets – provide a sweet, creamy texture to treats. Finally, coconut oil keeps your dog’s coat healthy while also acting as a substitute for dairy products.

No Bake Peanut Butter Dog Treats

This homemade dog treat recipe from Damn Delicious is as easy as it sounds – no baking required! (Skip the milk if your pup is allergic.) Blend pumpkin puree and peanut butter, gradually adding oats. Roll into balls, coat with more oats, and refrigerate for four hours! After your dogs are done barking up the refrigerator, serve – this recipe makes 20 servings, perfect for your pet’s next birthday bash.

Carrot Dog Biscuit Recipe

For more traditional canines, Dukes and Duchesses have an easy dog biscuit recipe guaranteed to please any pup. All you need is a jar of carrot baby food, flour and two eggs; feel free to replace any allergens with alternative ingredients like rice flour or coconut oil! Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes, then cut into cutesy canine-themed shapes of your choice.

Frozen Apple Dog Treat Recipe

Sunny spring days call for a refreshing, fruity concoction! Blend your pup’s favorite fruit – Irresistible Pets‘ recipe calls for apples – with plain yogurt and a splash of water or chicken broth. Pour into an ice cube tray and allow to freeze. Feed your pup these delicious homemade dog treats outdoors to minimize cleanup, although it’s doubtful they’ll stick around long enough to melt!
