Homemade dog biscuits: Vanessas' favourite recipes for your dog

Hello dear ones,

when I am not at the dog training area or looking after a lively litter of Malinois puppies, I bake delicious cookies for my pack. I can make a large quantity of them, I know what's in them, and to be honest - the dogs love these treats and are even more motivated. Give it a try!

Below you will find my three personal favourite recipes with »success guarantee«.

If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to comment on this article.

Have fun baking!

Cheese bites

Ingredients:

• 500 g wholemeal wheat flour
• 125 ml vegetable oil
• 150-200 g grated cheese
• 1 egg
• 250 ml water

Preparation:

1. Mix oil, cheese, egg and water until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
2. Knead the dough well on a floured work surface and roll out to a thickness of approx. 12 mm.
   
3. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
   
4. Cut out the desired shapes with a cookie cutter of your choice, a pizza cutter or a knife and arrange them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
5. Bake the biscuits at 180 °C for about 25-30 minutes.
   
6. Let the finished »bites« cool down completely.

Tuna fish biscuits

Ingredients:

• 500 g spelt flour (alternative: wholemeal wheat flour)

1. Put the tuna (whole can, do not spill!), oil and eggs in a bowl and puree finely.
2. Add the flour and mix well.
   
3. Spread the dough evenly on a baking tray lined with baking paper 2-3 cm thick and smooth it down.
   
4. Cut the dough with a knife into pieces of any size.
   
5. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and bake the biscuits for about 40 minutes.
   
6. Let the finished biscuits cool down completely.
   

Beetroot delicacy

Ingredients:

• Oats (as required)
• 1 small cup of dried beetroot pellets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation:

1. Allow a small cup of dried beetroot pellets to swell in water. (My tip: If you soak the pellets in boiling water, they will swell up quicker.)
2. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
   
3. Drain the soaked pellets well and mix well with 2 tablespoons of oil and oats (as required or depending on consistency).
   
4. Puree the mixture, form it into small cookies and spread them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
   
5. Put the baking tray with the cookies in the oven and bake them at 200 °C for about 30-40 minutes.
   
6. Allow the finished »delicacies« to cool down completely.
