Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (low-fat preferred)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Finely chop the fresh spinach.
    • Shred the cheese if it’s not pre-shredded.
  3. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, shredded cheese, chopped spinach, and unsweetened applesauce. These ingredients make this recipe one of the best healthy dog treats.
    • Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  4. Roll Out the Dough:
    • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Cut Out Shapes:
    • Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough. You can use any shape you like, such as small circles or bone-shaped cutters, making these DIY dog biscuits even more fun.
    • Place the cut-out shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake the Bites:
    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are firm and lightly browned.
  7. Cool the Bites:
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bites cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Store the Bites:
    • Once completely cooled, store the bites in an airtight container. These can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or frozen for longer storage, ensuring you always have nutritious pet treats on hand.

Tips:

  • Adjust the baking time based on the size and thickness of your bites. Thicker or larger bites may need a few more minutes in the oven.
  • Always introduce new foods gradually and monitor your dog for any adverse reactions.
  • These bites are great for travel and can be easily packed in a container for on-the-go feeding, making them perfect homemade dog snacks.
