Friends, are you looking for the perfect hostess gift or stocking stuffer for your dog?
Today I’m sharing a delightful recipe, and a video: How to make Apple Carrot Dog Biscuits recipe, and it’s perfect for your pet-loving friends!
Homemade dog biscuits
First of all, everyone loves a gift for their dog, right? And doggies love homemade dog biscuits! Well, since they’re not only a treat, they taste like human food! (So yummy to a puppy!)
Secondly, let’s get it right. When guests come to your home for the holidays, this statement is true.
Right?
We have 2 very rambuncious dogs that love to greet our guests at the front door. Alder, being a 6-month old Whoodle, and Haggis, a more mature 14-year-old Cairn Terrier.
Both adorable. In our eyes. But we’ve learned that not every guest is a dog-lover, so we have to quickly put our dogs away. In fact, I wrote a post awhile back on, Pet [Dog] Ettiquette when Entertaining.
In our house, any guest that befriends our dogs is an instant favorite!
How to Make 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!
Dog treat recipe
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.
Then 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!
Use a small cookie cutter to make about 20-24 biscuits!
So watch the video and see how yummy and easy this recipe is to make! ENJOY!
Have you made homemade treats for your pets, and if so what’s a favorite combination?

What about adding in some pumpkin? Would that work? I know I’d have to alter the dry ingredients
I haven’t tried pumpkin, so I do not know if it would work in this recipe.
My grand-doggy absolutely loved the cookies, she would not stop sticking her tongue out as a sign the cookies are very good. I highly recommend this cookies, you really get a lot of cookies, you can give away some or cut the recipe to 3/4 cup of flour and divide the ingredientes accordingly.
My dog is allergic to eggs, what else can I use?
Hi Vicky, I haven’t made it any other way! Sorry!
I substituted 4oz of unsweetened applesauce for the egg as my pup has an egg allergy (among a ton of other stuff). Then I had to eyeball the water to get a good dough consistency that would roll out thin. The pup LOVES them. Thinking about adding blueberries next time…
How long will these last
Up to 2 weeks! I also freeze.
Thank you, these are great :)
Great recipe, I have made these before and they were a hit. Just took a batch out of the oven. I have my grandpuppies
Rosco and Moose over today . They waited under my feet as I was making them.
This recipe is awesome, I did 2 cups flour instead of 2 1/2 I didn’t add any water and I added 2 table spoons of natural peanut butter the liquid one and did 1/4 cup of oil instead of 1/3 ..the mix was perfect I didn’t need to add anything else . They taste so good I just over baked them so I will be eating the one I over baked with hummus they are so good . thank you great recipe
