Whole Wheat Flour Recipe
Whole wheat flour in this homemade dog treat recipe offers your canine an abundance of essential vitamins and nutrients, while adding a delicious nutty flavor. If your canine has an allergy or intolerance to wheat flour, feel free to substitute another type such as quinoa or spelt instead.
To create the dough, combine all the ingredients and combine thoroughly before adding enough water to moisten. Roll out on a lightly dusted flat surface until about 1/4-inch thick before cutting with cookie cutter or paper templates into bone shapes. Reroll any leftover scraps.
Be sure to use an all-natural peanut butter, such as Jif, Smuckers or Skippy; avoid low sugar peanut butters which contain toxic sugar alternatives like xylitol. Also try substituting milk with vegetable, chicken or beef stock for more savory treats – homemade treats are a wonderful way to show your dog just how much you care!
Eggs Recipe
Utilizing only six basic pantry ingredients, this easy dog treat recipe comes together in less time than it takes to drive out and purchase store-bought cookies. By topping each treat with some simple royal icing designs they become even more beautiful as gifts!
This stretchy dough is easy to work with and children can be an invaluable source of assistance. I like making it in small batches so they can have fun rolling out and cutting into bone shapes using cookie cutters.

Baking Powder Recipe
Homemade dog treats typically do not use eggs as the leavening agent. If you want to reduce exposure of eggs for your pup, try switching up its composition by using flaxseed or chia seeds as an egg substitute with leavening properties.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, combine all of your ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly, or use your Bake-a-Bone dog treat maker.
Turn out your dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, cut out bone-shaped cookies using a cookie cutter, transfer to baking sheets and bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes depending on desired soft or crispiness level. Cool completely on rack before refrigerating for up to 1 week in fridge or freezing!
