Which ingredients work well in dog biscuits?

The base for good dog biscuits is oats, spelt flour or rice flour. Add a binder like eggs or banana, then something tasty: liver sausage, cheese, peanut butter (xylitol-free!) or blended fruit. The good news: you don't need anything exotic. Almost everything is available at your regular supermarket.

Safe ingredients

  • Oats, spelt flour, rice flour
  • Liver sausage, cottage cheese, parmesan
  • Banana, apple, carrot, pumpkin
  • Peanut butter (xylitol-free), coconut oil
  • Plain yoghurt, quark, eggs

Toxic to dogs

  • Chocolate, cocoa, caffeine
  • Xylitol (birch sugar), sweeteners
  • Raisins, grapes
  • Onions, garlic, leeks
  • Macadamia nuts, avocado

How to bake perfect dog biscuits every time

The most common mistake: too much liquid in the dough. Dog biscuits should be dry and firm so they last longer and help keep teeth clean. Bake at 160-180°C, then leave them in the switched-off oven to dry out completely. That's what gives them that satisfying crunch.

One more tip: keep them small. For training you want lots of little rewards, not a few big ones. A silicone baking mat with small moulds works perfectly. The biscuits pop out easily and come out uniform in size.

Store the finished biscuits in an airtight tin. In the fridge they keep for 6-8 weeks, frozen up to 3 months. It's worth baking a big batch and stocking up.

Common questions about dog biscuits and treats

What ingredients are off-limits for dog biscuits?
Chocolate, xylitol (birch sugar), raisins, grapes, onions and garlic are toxic to dogs. Macadamia nuts and raw pork are also a no-go. With shop-bought products, watch out for hidden sugar and artificial sweeteners.
How long do homemade dog biscuits keep?
Well-dried dog biscuits keep in an airtight tin for around 3-4 weeks. In the fridge that extends to 6-8 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
Which flour is best for dog biscuits?
Spelt flour, rice flour and oat flour are popular choices. For grain-free biscuits, coconut flour or ground flaxseed work well. Wheat flour is fine, but some dogs are sensitive to gluten.
Can puppies eat homemade dog biscuits?
From around 12 weeks, puppies can have soft homemade treats. Keep the pieces small with no hard edges, and pay extra attention to which ingredients you use.
Can I give my dog ice cream every day?
Dog ice cream should be an occasional treat, not a daily thing. On hot days, a small portion (1-2 scoops depending on the dog's size) is fine. Keep an eye on the calorie count, especially for dogs that are watching their weight.
