How to Make Personalized Homemade Dog Biscuits

I bought treats for my pup for the first 10 years of his life. As he got older his digestion changed, so I started making them myself with only 4 ingredients! I tried many recipes online but found myself altering them a bit to get a good rolling consistency. I also wanted the treats to have the same texture as store bought, and a longer shelf life than fresh homemade biscuits. After a while I developed my own version which has been a huge hit in my home. I have chosen to personalize the treats which adds a bit of charm and makes for an adorable gift. You can’t go wrong with peanut butter treats……all dogs love them!

INGREDIENTS 

• 1 ripe banana
• 1/3 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/4 cups wheat flour

Method:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• In a large bowl mash banana until smooth, leaving small chunks
• Add chicken stock and combine
• Add peanut butter and mix until well incorporated
• Add flour 1/4 cup at a time mixing well in between
• Place dough ball on lightly floured surface and knead until smooth (3 minutes)
• Roll dough to 1/2 inch thick, cut into desired shape and place on baking sheet
• Use biscuit stamp to emboss your pet’s name
• Bake for 16-17 minutes
• Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes
• Have your pet enjoy as is or continue to dehydrate for prolonged shelf life
• Dehydrate for 6-8 hours until no moisture remains in the center
• Store in air tight container
• Recipe makes 16-18 biscuits depending on cutter size

As you can see they are very simple to make. You can also make these organic by using all organic ingredients. The fact that these are so easy and way healthier for my dog is the reason I’ll never buy treats again. Plus they’re so cute!!
