Homemade dog treats: 48+ snack recipes
Homemade dog treats are the perfect training reward: you control the ingredients, choose the size, and save money compared to shop-bought options. Liverwurst balls, cheese drops, or fruit snacks — here you'll find 48+ recipes for every taste.
Follow the 10% rule
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. Adjust the main meal accordingly.
Keep them small for training
Training treats should be pea-sized. The goal is to reward, not fill up. Many small ones beat a few large ones every time.
Mix it up
Switch between different treats. What's high-value today gets boring tomorrow. Variety keeps motivation up.

Homemade vs. shop-bought: is it worth the effort?
One look at the ingredient list of many commercial treats tells the story: sugar, grain flour, animal by-products, and preservatives. With homemade treats you know exactly what your dog is eating. You can work around allergies, control calories, and use quality ingredients.
The time commitment is manageable: most recipes take 15-20 minutes to prepare. A batch lasts 2-4 weeks depending on the recipe, and frozen treats keep for several months. Compared to premium treats from a pet shop, you can save around £5-10 per month.
The biggest win: your dog will love you for it. Freshly baked treats smell more intense than packaged ones, which makes them far more motivating for training.
