How to Make Apple Carrot Dog Biscuits
Just think hostess gifts, teacher gifts, or stocking stuffer homemade gifts for your friends who have dogs! We have been making this recipe for years, for Alder the Whoodle. [Here’s Alder at Pacific City, OR]
Ingredients for Apple Carrot Dog Treats:
This recipe contains apples and carrots, which your pet is sure to love, so let’s dive head first into these Easy Carrot + Apple Dog Treats!
- Whole wheat flour
- Oats (you can use gluten-free)
- Brown sugar, optional if your dog doesn’t like sugar
- Apple + carrots
- Egg
- Vegetable oil
- Water
Alder the Whoodle (poodle and wheaten terrier) is 4 years old now. He’s all about dog treats! Here he is in our Sprinter Van, camping on the OR coast. Yes, he sleeps with us.
Instructions for Apple Carrot Dog Treats
This recipe makes 12-24 dog biscuits, depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
- Core and grate apples; peel and grate carrots (I used food processor).
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- In separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the oil, water, and grated apples and carrots. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix completely.
- Carefully roll ‘dough’ out and cut out desired shape with a small cookie cutter.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until biscuits are firm.
Pet [Dog] Ettiquette when Entertaining
When guests come over (which we have regularly), for our breed of dog, it’s good to have dog treats ready. Alder is rambuncious and loves to “greet” our friends, so we’ve learned to keep a few treats in our pockets.
Here’s a post I wrote years ago, Pet [Dog] Ettiquette when Entertaining.
Apple Carrot Dog Biscuits
This recipe comes from our friend, Jessica, who has a beautiful Pit Bull, Marz.
It’s for all you fellow dog-lovers out there, and perfect for gift-giving season!
Doggie favorites – TIPS for the recipe
Be sure to core your apple before grating. Apple seeds aren’t good for dogs!
Use a small cookie cutter for 20-24 biscuits.
You make as you would any other cookie, using your favorite shaped cookie cutter.
Make, bake, and allow to cool.
One reader used half almond flour and half all-purpose flour, adding 1 1/2 teaspoon of flax seeds, and they turned out great.
The perfect doggie treats gifts
Stack the treats, and tie together with a big bow. Place in brown paper bags (you can decorate, or buy decorated bags), and GIVE AWAY!
You can also spoil your own pooch with a bit of extra pizazz added to their stockings – homemade dog treats!
How to store homemade dog biscuits
Store in air-tight container.
Optional to freeze!
Serving size: makes 20-24 small dog biscuits.
