Every pet owner wants to keep their pets healthy. If you cannot afford or choose not to buy their treats from the pet bakery or pet store, you can easily make them at home. Making healthy dog treats at home helps keep your pet happy and healthy. The following are a few ways to make delicious dog treats at home with minimal effort.

Peanut Butter Treats

Most dogs love peanut butter. Make these peanut butter dog treats quickly at home if your dog is one of them. You will require 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and two eggs to make the recipe. Combine all the ingredients until they are well mixed. After that, add water a little at a time (depending on the type of peanut butter used you may need more or less water) to the mixture and continue stirring until it reaches a dough-like consistency that can be rolled out. This is a go-to healthy dog treat and will make your pet happy.

Chicken and Rice Balls

Is your pet dog a chicken lover? If yes, then make these healthy dog treats for them at home. You will need some chicken breast and rice for this pet-nourishing treat. You decide how much to make at one time. Start by cooking the chicken breast until it's tender. Then, shred it into small pieces. Cook the rice on the stove or in a rice cooker and combine it with the shredded chicken. You can also add some chicken broth for extra flavor. Shape the chicken and rice mixture into little balls and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes or until brown outside. Pet bakeries mostly use similar recipes for their dog treats. These balls can also be used for dog food toppers.

Blueberry Biscuits

Blueberries are liked not only by humans but also by dogs. If your dog likes blueberries too, then this recipe is a must-try. These blueberry biscuits are filled with antioxidants and are extremely easy to prepare. This dog treat requires blueberries, oats, honey, and whole wheat flour. Combine all of these ingredients and create a dough. Then, roll out the dough and shape it into biscuits using cookie cutters. Bake these cookies in the oven until they are golden brown. This easy recipe is filled with nutrients and an easy-to-make pet-calming treat. You can also use this recipe as a dog food topper.

Salmon Cat Treats

If you have a pet cat and are wondering, “Oh, I wish I had a pet bakery near me,"  try this easy recipe for salmon cat treats. Your shopping list will be one can of salmon (4 oz.), 1 cup of flour, and one egg. Combine these ingredients in a bowl and make dough balls of equal size. After that, flatten the dough balls until they are of uniform thickness. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and cook the treats for 15 to 20 minutes. Remember to let these cool before feeding them to your cat. You can keep these treats in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Note: Always check with your Veterinarian before giving your pet treats. Additionally, keep note of any allergies your pet might have to the ingredients you are using and make substitutions as necessary when making their treats.
