These homemade dog treats contain a few essential and vet-approved ingredients: sweet potato, coconut oil/coconut, eggs, coconut flour, and gelatin. You might have to experiment with the ratio to find the consistency and flavor that your pet prefers.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup gelatin powder (optional)
1/2 cup coconut oil (or bacon grease)
1 egg
1-2 T water
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients and mix until well incorporated. If needed, add a little extra coconut flour to get a dough that is slightly thinner than Play Dough.
Form into 1-inch balls and flatten with your hand.
We made “paw print” shapes with our fingers to make them cute (totally optional). You can also use a rolling pin to flatten the doggie dough to create a cutout shape with a cookie cutter if you have extra prep time.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing.
Important: These treats do not contain any preservatives. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, or freeze for several months. (If your dog is teething, or needs to chew for exercise, you can give them a frozen treat to chomp on).
