Benefits of Homemade Dog Treats

Homemade treats aren’t just about spoiling your pup. They’re about ensuring quality nutrition and offering a snack made with love:

1. Control Over Ingredients: You can be confident that there are no artificial ingredients, which means a happier, healthier pet.
2. Natural Goodness: Strawberries and blueberries are rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants—all contributing to overall health.
3. Customizable: You can easily adapt the recipe to suit your dog’s preferences or dietary needs.

Ingredients List

• 1/2 cup strawberries, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup blueberries, mashed or whole
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 egg

That’s all you need! Simple, wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Cookie cutter (bone-shaped, if you want to get cute with it!)

Possible Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

• Substitute Berries: If you don’t have strawberries, you can swap them for raspberries or even apples. Just make sure they’re pet-friendly fruits!
• Add a Touch of Peanut Butter: A tablespoon of natural peanut butter (no xylitol) can add a yummy twist.
• Oats Alternatives: Rolled oats work wonderfully, but you could use oat flour if you prefer a smoother texture.

How to Make Strawberry & Blueberry Dog Treats

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things mess-free.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine chopped strawberries, blueberries, rolled oats, and egg. Stir until well combined—don’t worry if the mixture seems a bit chunky, that’s where all the goodness is!

Step 3: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to create shapes—use your hands or a cookie cutter to form fun treat shapes. I used a bone-shaped cutter because, well, it’s just too cute!

Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the treats are firm and lightly golden. The smell will make you wish they were for you!

Step 5: Allow the treats to cool completely before serving them to your eagerly awaiting pup.

What to Serve with These Dog Treats

These treats are great on their own, but they’re even better paired with a cozy cuddle session or during a training break. You can also offer them alongside a small bowl of plain Greek yogurt for a little extra protein boost!

Tips for Making These Treats

• Use Fresh Berries: Fresh strawberries and blueberries make the flavor shine. If using frozen, make sure they’re thawed and well-drained.
• Storage: Keep these treats fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage—perfect for making in bulk!
