Homemade dog treat recipes can turn you into a superhero dog parent in your furry friend’s eyes. Sure, whipping up dog treats in your kitchen may not be as easy as buying some dog treats from Chewy, but your dog will truly appreciate you for going the extra mile. I mean, what pup wouldn’t love some warm, homemade dog treats, baked with love?

If you want to impress your furry companion and show them just how special they are, you can test your baking skills with our list of our easiest homemade dog recipes. Every dog treat recipe is vet-approved and has been taste tested by our office pups to ensure the highest quality for your pooch.

French Macaron Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treat Recipe


Bake your dog a treat as fancy as they are with this dog-friendly macaron recipe. These homemade peanut butter dog treats are made to imitate the well-known French delicacy. But don’t worry, we’ve replaced any dangerous ingredients for dogs with a pet-friendly version.

The best part is that this homemade dog treat recipe, while sophisticated and seemingly complex, only takes about 20 minutes to make. Plus, it only calls for about five ingredients–most of which you probably already have sitting in your pantry.

Ingredients: flour, egg, chicken broth, beet juice and peanut butter
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 5 minutes

Strawberry Ghosts Dog Treat


If you’re spending Halloween at home, why not celebrate spooky season with your four-legged pal by whipping them up a special treat of their own. Since dogs can’t enjoy Halloween sweets like chocolates and candies, they’ll appreciate a dog-friendly version for themselves.

We may never know if dogs can see ghosts, but we can guarantee your dog will see—and gobble up—these ghost treats for dogs.

Ingredients: strawberries, yogurt, peanut butter and carob chips
Prep time: 15 minutes
Freeze time: 2 hours

Serve your dog a bubbling brew that they can lick up with our witch’s potion homemade dog treat recipe.

Ingredients: chicken broth, frozen banana, cucumber, frozen peas and peanut butter
Prep time: 10 minutes

Easter Bunny Frozen Yogurt, Strawberry and Tumeric Dog Treat


Show your dog that “some bunny” loves them with these frozen bunny-shaped homemade dog treats. They’re made by freezing ingredients like Greek yogurt and strawberries, so they’re a great way to keep your pup cool on a hot day.

To give these bunny-shaped dog treats their bright, spring colors, we don’t use food dye or artificial coloring. This recipe uses strawberries and turmeric for a vibrant pink and yellow hue that’s reminiscent of the classic marshmallow bunny treats for humans.

Ingredients: turmeric, chicken broth, yogurt, strawberries and peanut butter
Prep time: 15 minutes
Freeze time: 2 to 3 hours

Pumpkin Spice Latte Homemade Recipe for Dogs


Skip the whip cream in a cup and give your dog the fall drink they deserve–a classic (and dog-friendly) Pumpkin Spice Latte. We took the original recipe and made it safe for dogs so all the pups in the world can get in on this fall staple.

It’s the perfect imitation of the classic fall drink that makes us OK with being basic pet parents.

Ingredients: canned pumpkin, chicken broth, yogurt, ice cubes, cinnamon, Greenies and whipped cream, if desired.
Prep time: 15 minutes

All of our homemade dog treat recipes have been reviewed by a veterinarian. They are intended as a treat or snack. Treats—both DIY dog treats and pre-made—should only constitute a small percentage of your dog’s daily food, as feeding too many treats can lead to nutrient deficiencies. If your pet has health issues or if you have any concerns, consult your pet’s veterinarian before offering them a new food item.
