Bake simple, healthy, and xylitol-free dog cookies using common ingredients like peanut butter and pumpkin. These natural dog cookie recipes are perfect for training or treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or use oat flour for grain free dog biscuits)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (ensure it is xylitol free dog treats)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Add water slowly until the dough comes together.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. You can use dog cookie cutter recipes here for fun shapes.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply cut the dough into squares. Place the cut-outs on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. For crunchier biscuits, bake closer to 25 minutes.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to dry out completely. This makes for crunchy dog biscuits.
  9. Cool completely before serving your dog or storing.

Notes

  • For chewy dog cookies, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes and skip the final drying step in the oven.
  • Storage: Keep these fresh baked dog goodies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze them for up to three months.
  • If you need healthy dog snacks for puppies, ensure the peanut butter is low in salt and sugar.
