Making healthy, homemade dog treats is a wonderful way to spoil your furry friend while keeping their diet natural and safe. This recipe combines lean protein, fiber, and natural sweetness—all ingredients that are easy on a dog’s stomach and packed with nutrients.
Why This Recipe Works
- Chicken provides lean protein for strong muscles.
- Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
- Oats add natural carbs for energy.
- Eggs help bind the mixture and add extra protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (ground into flour)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken & sweet potato – Boil and shred the chicken breast. Cook and mash the sweet potato until smooth.
- Mix the ingredients – In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mashed sweet potato, ground oats, and egg. Mix until you get a dough-like texture.
- Shape the treats – Roll out the dough and cut into small biscuit shapes using a cookie cutter (bone shapes are fun!).
- Bake – Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until firm and golden.
- Cool & store – Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Extra Tips
- You can freeze extra treats for up to 2 months.
- Always introduce new foods gradually and check with your vet if your dog has allergies.
