Zucchini Crisps for Dogs: Easy, Low-Calorie Dog Treat Recipe

• Yield: 20–30 crisps 
• Serving size: 1–3 crisps 
• Prep time: 10 minutes 
• Total time: 3–4 hours 

• 2 large zucchinis, sliced into rounds 
• 1 egg white 
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried dog treats, finely crushed 

• Baking sheet 
• Parchment paper 
• Mandolin or sharp knife 
• Paper towels 

1. Preheat oven to 155 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. Slice zucchinis into even rounds using a mandolin or knife. 
3. Lay slices between paper towels and gently press to remove excess moisture. 
4. Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. 
5. Brush each slice lightly with egg white. 
6. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried dog treats evenly over the slices. 
7. Bake for 3–4 hours, leaving the oven door slightly open for air circulation. Flip halfway through if needed and continue baking until the slices are fully dry and crisp (not soft). 
8. Let cool completely before serving. 

Start small—try 1–2 crisps and see how your dog likes them. 

As a general guide, small dogs can have 1–2 crisps, while larger dogs can enjoy 2–3 crisps at a time. 

As with all treats, these zucchini crisps should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories, with the other 90% coming from a complete and balanced diet. Too many treats can throw off your dog’s nutrition, and sudden changes can upset their stomach—so ease them in. 

Store cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. They’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks—just check daily for any moisture to keep them nice and crunchy. 

Want to save some for later? You can also freeze the crisps for up to one month. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.
