Easy to make dog recipes, step by step instructions.

Certainly! Here are three simple recipes for dogs that you may create at home step by step. However, it’s always a good idea to speak with your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet, especially if they have certain dietary restrictions or allergies. These recipes employ straightforward ingredients and are healthy for most dogs.

1. Peanut Butter and Banana Frozen Treats:

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)

Instructions:

  1. Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl until they are smooth.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and peanut butter to the mashed bananas and mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
  4. Freeze the treats for at least 2-3 hours or until they are solid.
  5. Pop the treats out of the molds and serve to your dog. These frozen treats are perfect for hot days and can also be a tasty training reward.

2. Homemade Chicken and Vegetable Dog Food:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (boneless and skinless), shredded
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup cooked and chopped vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, and green beans)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (low-sodium and unsalted)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked brown rice, and chopped vegetables.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and stir until all the ingredients are well-mixed.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool before serving it to your dog. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

3. Pumpkin and Oatmeal Dog Biscuits:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, rolled oats, water, and peanut butter. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  4. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply slice the dough into squares.
  5. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  6. Allow the biscuits to cool completely before giving them to your dog. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Always keep an eye on your dog while experimenting with different foods and treats, and make sure the contents are suitable for your particular dog’s requirements. According to your dog’s size and dietary needs, adjust portion sizes. If you have any questions regarding your dog’s diet, talk to your veterinarian.
