2 Ingredient Dog Treats
Dog treats can get expensive, but neither your budget or you pup have to suffer anymore. You can make your own homemade dog treats on the cheap with a very simple recipe that only requires TWO ingredients: flour and baby food. This easy dog biscuit recipe can also be customized like nobody's business, so get creative and have a little fun (all while pampering your pooch)!

Calories: 68kcal
Ingredients
- 2 4 oz jars pureed baby food beef, blueberry, sweet potato, chicken – any flavor/s - Just make sure there are no onions/onion powder in it*
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Mix the flour and puree together to form a stiff dough. Add extra flour or water as needed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about a 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shape or a pizza cutter to make cubes or ‘sticks’.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat and place the treats about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before storing in a paper bag (storing in an air-tight container will make them soft, but they’re still edible).
Notes
Easy, right? Now this is where you can get creative. Consider including grated carrots or sweet potatoes, maybe a little bit of parsley (which supposedly helps with bad breath), some fresh fruit, or (for an added treat) some peanut butter! Got any other ideas? I’d love to hear them!
*Onions are toxic to dogs! If you’re unsure about what you can/cannot include, check out this list of toxic foods from the ASPCA. Techinically, not everything listed is toxic, but each one provides an explanation of why you may want to avoid it.
